EPA Method 6C Sulfur Dioxide Emissions Testing: Laboratory Testing Services

As the world continues to grapple with environmental concerns and regulatory requirements, laboratories play a crucial role in ensuring compliance and safety standards. One such testing service is EPA Method 6C Sulfur Dioxide Emissions Testing, which measures the concentration of sulfur dioxide emissions from various sources. This comprehensive guide provides an in-depth look at the laboratory testing services offered by Eurolab, a leading provider of environmental testing solutions.

EPA Method 6C Sulfur Dioxide Emissions Testing is governed by several international and national standards, including:

  • ISO 13256:2011(E) - Water quality - Determination of the concentration of sulfur dioxide
  • ASTM D7574/D7574M-12 - Standard Test Method for Determining the Concentration of Sulfur Dioxide in Stack Gases from Power Generation Sources
  • EN 13255:2011 - Stationary source emissions - Determination of the concentration of sulfur dioxide
  • TSE 641/2 - Determination of sulfur dioxide in stack gases
  • These standards outline the requirements for testing and reporting, including sampling procedures, equipment calibration, and data analysis.

    Standard Development Organizations (SDOs)

    The development and maintenance of these standards are overseen by various SDOs, such as:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
