ISO 17141 Sampling and Analysis of Ammonia in Stack Gas: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

Standard-Related Information

ISO 17141 is an international standard that outlines the requirements for sampling and analysis of ammonia in stack gas. This standard is developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and is widely adopted across various industries, including power generation, chemical processing, and waste management.

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding this testing service is governed by national and international regulations, such as the Clean Air Act in the United States and the European Unions Industrial Emissions Directive. These regulations require facilities to monitor and control their emissions of ammonia and other pollutants to prevent environmental harm and protect public health.

ISO 17141 specifies the requirements for sampling and analysis of ammonia in stack gas, including the selection of sampling points, sample collection, transportation, and storage. The standard also outlines the analytical methods for determining the concentration of ammonia in the stack gas.

The international and national standards that apply to this specific laboratory test are:

  • ISO 17141:2018 - Sampling and analysis of ammonia in stack gas

  • ASTM D7036-19 - Standard Test Method for Determination of Gaseous Emissions from Stationary Sources (Ammonia)

  • EN 14792:2005 - Determination of gaseous emissions from stationary sources. Part 2: Ammonia

    • The standard development organizations involved in the development and maintenance of ISO 17141 are:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)

  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)

    • Standards evolve and get updated to reflect changes in technology, regulations, and industry practices. For example, ISO 17141 was revised in 2018 to include new methods for sampling and analysis of ammonia in stack gas.
