Information

PL organizes three proficiency testing (PT) schemes in the stack emissions measurement area: Particulate, Gas Measurement and Gas Cylinder. The Particulate scheme runs bi-annually with test items sent to participants. The Gas Measurement and Gas Cylinder schemes are run annually with measurements conducted at NPL. The aim of the Particulate stack emissions proficiency testing scheme is to assess performance with the weighing of foil shims and simulated particulate test probe washes. Foil shims are provided with known masses traceable to national standards. The standard deviation for proficiency testing is set from consideration of previous round results and with due consideration to relevant directives and standards. Foil shims and simulated probe washes are sent to participants. The aim of the Calibration Gas Proficiency testing scheme is to assess the performance of test houses with the measurement of test gases from NPL certified cylinders. These measurements are conducted at NPL. The scheme involves the measurement of combustion gases (NOx, SO2, CO, O2 and VOCs) at concentrations and conditions typical of plant falling under the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED). The Gas Measurement PT scheme is conducted at the stack simulator facility located at NPL. The scheme involves the measurement of combustion gases (NOx, SO2, CO, O2 and VOCs) at concentrations and conditions typical of plant falling under the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED). The aim of the scheme is to test a complete continuous emissions measurement system from sampling probe to analyzer.
National Physical LaboratoryNational Physical Laboratory - Virtual locationProviding confidence in every aspect of environmental monitoring NPL are the National Measurement Laboratory for the UK and have 800 scientists and 400 laboratories across all science disciplines. Environmental monitoring expertise has been developed by NPL over many years and is a critical aspect of the support we deliver nationally and internationally. We ensure our customers are able to monitor gas emissions reliably and comply with evolving environmental regulations. Our high quality, cost-effective pollution monitoring and analysis services are delivered using unique environmental test facilities. We help industry, research organisations, environmental regulators, government and other measurement providers to evaluate instrument performance, demonstrate conformance with industry-standard protocols and validate instruments in the lab and the field. Our emissions, ambient air sampling and analysis services are accredited to ISO 17025 and all our measurements are traceable to UK national standards, providing you with ultimate confidence in data and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. Our expertise and innovation eliminates the need for specialist in-house resources and reduces our customers' technical risk. We deliver revenue, cost and time savings for complex technical challenges. Our unique combination of experts and equipment makes us one of the premier environmental measurement facilities in Europe.
