VDI 4206 Blatt 2:2015-02

This standard specifies performance criteria and test procedures for checking compliance with these performance criteria on portable devices for measuring particulate emissions at small firing installations according to the German Ordinance on Small and Medium Firing Installations (1. BImSchV) or the Order on Sweeping and Checking (KÜO). The more stringent limit values for particulate emissions laid down by the 1. BImSchV to reduce the exposure of particulate matter especially in urban areas are already taken into account. The standard applies to all performance tests of measuring devices for the measurement of particulate emissions, which are intended for use at these firing installations. Furthermore, this standard specifies the requirements on test institutes and explains the declaration of suitable measuring devices. This standard is addressed to manufactures of measuring devices for monitoring emissions at small firing installations, to test institutes performing performance tests of such measuring devices, and to the authorities responsible for the declaration of suitability. Furthermore, it assists users of performance-tested measuring devices for monitoring emissions at small firing installations in the operation of these devices. Bodies for periodic testing of performance tested measuring devices may use this standard as an additional source of information.
