Frequently asked questions
What is included in a linearity check?
Linearity checks assess CEMS performance at zero, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% of range, and final zero. Includes T90 response time determination and additional required checks.
How often are QAL2 and AST tests required?
QAL2 requires minimum 15 parallel measurements over 3 days. ASTs are conducted annually with minimum 5 parallel measurements over 1 day.
What is QAL3 and how often should it be conducted?
QAL3 is an ongoing quality assurance and control process for CEMS, typically conducted by the operator on a routine basis (weekly, fortnightly or monthly) to demonstrate systems are functioning normally and remain under control.
