Any interested parties should contact Dave Curtis, dave@s-t-a.org, for further information. Standards developed and published by CEN are generally accepted as being the most robust. However, other standards are still important, as there are substances that are not, as yet, covered by CEN standards. e choice of the method is often dictated by the requirements of a relevant EU Directive, where, for example, the use of CEN standards is mandatory. If the standard is not dictated by mandatory requirements then monitoring standards should be used in the following order of priority as given in the European IPPC Bureau's Reference Document on the General Principles of Monitoring: • Comité European de Normalisation (CEN) • International Standardisation Organisation (ISO) If the substance cannot be monitored using standards covered by the above then a method can be selected from any one of the following: • British Standards Institution (BSI) • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) • Association Francaise de Normalisation (AFNOR) • Deutsches Institute fur Normung (DIN) • United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) • Verein Deustcher Ingenieure (VDI) If there are no stack monitoring standards covered by the above then occupational methods may be developed, following the requirements of ISO 17025, for stack- emission monitoring e.g.: • Method for the Determination of Hazardous Substances (MDHS) series published by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) • National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) • Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) e intended application of the standard method must always be taken into account; for example, a CEN method may be less suitable than another less-rigorously validated standard method if the application is not one for which the CEN method was developed. e Environ- ment Agency produces, wherever required, Method Implementation Documents (MIDs) which detail the applicability of methods. e methods detailed in Environment Agency Tech- nical Guidance Note (Monitoring) M2 Moni- toring of Stack Emissions to Air should be used unless it can be demonstrated that they are not fit for purpose for a particular application.
