ISO 13196 Sampling of Gaseous Organic Compounds in Stack GasComprehensive Guide to ISO 13196 Sampling of Gaseous Organic Compounds in Stack Gas Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab
ISO 13196 is an international standard that specifies the requirements for sampling gaseous organic compounds in stack gas. This standard is developed and published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to ensure consistent and reliable testing results worldwide.
The legal and regulatory framework surrounding this testing service is governed by various national and international standards, including:
These standards are developed and maintained by various standard development organizations (SDOs), including ISO, ASTM, EN, and TSE. The role of SDOs is to develop and publish standards that address specific needs and requirements of industries and sectors.
Standards evolve and get updated periodically to reflect new technologies, methodologies, and regulatory requirements. This ensures that the testing service remains relevant and compliant with changing regulations and industry practices.
Some key standard numbers and their scope are:
Scope: Specifies the requirements for sampling gaseous organic compounds in stack gas from petroleum refining and petrochemical processes.
Scope: Describes a method for measuring gases in stack gas using a portable emissions monitoring system (PEMS).
Scope: Specifies the requirements for determining gaseous emissions from industrial combustion plants, including the measurement of gaseous organic compounds.
Standard compliance is required by various industries and sectors, including:
Non-compliance with standards can result in significant financial penalties, reputational damage, and regulatory sanctions. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that the testing service is performed in accordance with relevant standards.
