Introduction
This document forms part of a series of standards which, between them, govern the process for the
quality assurance of data received by a data acquisition and handling system (DAHS) from automated
measuring systems (AMS), being used for monitoring emissions from stationary sources and quality
assured to EN 14181 [4].
The input data can be either in analogue representation or in digital form directly from an AMS or via a
digital bus system. Inputs can include the data from the AMS, peripheral data needed for calculation of
reportable data and information on plant conditions needed to apply data selection criteria.
The data acquisition and handling system (DAHS) receives the raw data, as they are measured, averaged
and presented by the AMS, and converts, averages, stores and reports data as required by legislation.
This series of standards suggests that the process of data handling is best performed in a dedicated DAHS.
It does not preclude the use of other options for all or part of the process provided that it can be shown
that they meet all of the requirements of the standard, particularly in relation to speed, accuracy, access,
security and validation.
This series of standards applies to DAHS installed after the date of implementation.
This document specifies the requirements for the installation and on-going QA/QC of DAHS and applies
to plant operators and testing laboratories as described in Table 1.

5 Installation
5.1 Installation requirements
The plant operator is responsible for the installation of the DAHS.
DAHS shall have a certification on the basis of a performance test carried out in accordance with
EN 17255-3. DAHS shall be complete as specified in the performance test report and the certificate.
DAHS shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's requirements. Legal requirements on
installation specified e.g. in the plant permit shall be taken into account and documented in the DAHS
documentation on installation.
A sufficiently stable and vibration-free installation at the site shall be realized. Depending on the
manufacturer's requirements or the results of the performance test, an installation in weather protected
and temperature controlled areas can be necessary.
The installation shall be documented in diagrams unambiguously identifying the elements of the DAHS.
If external A/D converters and isolation links are required which have not been subject to performance
testing of the AMS according to EN 15267-3, or the performance testing of the DAHS according to
EN 17255-3, they shall meet the corresponding performance criteria specified in EN 17255-2.
If scaling factors for AMS raw data to FLD are used in the DAHS, the QAL2 calibration factors shall be
determined by use of the scaled AMS raw data.
If AMS are already calibrated and validated, the QAL2 parameters shall be set at the DAHS by use of the
currently valid QAL2.
NOTE 1 QAL2 parameters include coefficients of calibration function and the valid calibration range.
NOTE 2 Multiple calibration functions can exist for the same measured component e.g. for different fuels used,
which are implemented in the DAHS.
In case of a completely new installation of AMS and the DAHS, preliminary parameters shall be set on the
basis of the measurement signal characteristics of the corresponding AMS, e.g. scaling factors for the
selected measuring range. The final parameter setting is then carried out after the initial QAL2, which can
be carried out in most cases only some time after the plant has been brought into service.
It is recommended that the operator establishes a test plan for the annual functional test at the time of
installation of a DAHS. The test plan should define the implementation of the requirements on the
functional test specified in this document for the plant-specific installation and configuration of the DAHS.

The check of the correct installation guarantees that the technical conditions for the representative
determination of emissions are fulfilled. Furthermore, the report on this check provides an important
basis for later calibrations, validations and annual surveillance tests of AMS. Therefore, the report on the
correct installation shall be available at the location of the DAHS.
5.2.2 Test requirements
5.2.2.1 General
During the check of correct installation of the DAHS, the testing laboratory shall check the installed DAHS
has a valid certification. This determination guarantees the conformity of the installed DAHS with the
certified DAHS. The determination of the validity shall include a check of the relevant elements specified
in A.4.1.
The testing laboratory shall identify changes of the DAHS configuration and software version. These
changes shall be documented, specifying, for example, for the software, the version number.
If external A/D converters and isolation links are used, the testing laboratory shall check that the
equipment specifications meet the corresponding performance criteria specified in EN 17255-2.
5.2.2.2 Description of the DAHS
The testing laboratory shall check the description of the DAHS in accordance with the requirements of
8.2.

— compliance with the requirements on installation specified in the performance test report;
— observations or findings identified during the tests, which can be of relevance in the later QAL2 and
AST of AMS.
5.2.4 Competence of testing laboratories
Testing laboratories carrying out tests according to this document shall be independent and shall have
the competence for these activities. The competence can be demonstrated by an appropriate
accreditation.
6 Quality assurance and quality control during QAL2 of the AMS
A functional test of the DAHS shall be carried out by a testing laboratory in accordance with Clause 8 in
coordination with QAL2 or AST. This functional test can be performed in parallel with the QAL2 or AST
of AMS. The testing laboratory shall meet the requirements of 5.2.4.
7 Quality assurance and quality control during on-going operation
The plant operator is responsible for the quality assurance and quality control during on-going operation
of the DAHS including the implementation of the calibration function and parameters and reset of the
counters for the exceedances of the valid calibration range after QAL2 or AST of AMS.
Once a day the plant operator shall check and take appropriate measures for the completeness of reports
and system messages of the DAHS.
In response to warnings, alarms and violations the plant operator shall take prompt action to take

European foreword
This document (prEN 17255-4:2021) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 264 “Air
Quality”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document is Part 4 of the EN 17255 series.
The EN 17255 series, published under the general title “Stationary source emissions — Data acquisition
and handling systems”, specifies:
— requirements for the handling and reporting of data;
— requirements on data acquisition and handling systems;
— requirements for the performance test of data acquisition and handling systems;
— requirements for the installation and on-going quality assurance and quality control of data
acquisition and handling systems.

Introduction
This document forms part of a series of standards which, between them, govern the process for the
quality assurance of data received by a data acquisition and handling system (DAHS) from automated
measuring systems (AMS), being used for monitoring emissions from stationary sources and quality
ensured to EN 14181.
The input data can be either in analogue representation or in digital form directly from an AMS or via a
digital bus system. Inputs can include the data from the AMS, peripheral data needed for calculation of
reported data and information on plant conditions needed to apply data selection criteria.
The data acquisition and handling system (DAHS) receives the raw data, as they are measured, averaged
and presented by the AMS, and converts, averages, stores and reports data as required by legislation.
This series of standards suggests that the process of data handling is best performed in a dedicated DAHS.
It does not preclude the use of other options for all or part of the process provided that it can be shown
that they meet all of the requirements of the standard, particularly in relation to speed, accuracy, access,
security and validation.
This series of standards applies to DAHS installed after the date of implementation.
EN 17255-4 specifies the requirements for the installation and on-going QA/QC of DAHS.

1 Scope
This document specifies the requirements for the installation and on-going quality assurance and quality
control of data acquisition and handling systems (DAHS). This includes requirements on:
— installation (Clause 5)
— quality assurance and quality control during QAL2 (Clause 6)
— quality assurance and quality control during on-going operation (Clause 7)
— annual functional test (Clause 8)
This document supports the requirements of EN 14181 and legislation such as the IED, MCPD and E-
PRTR. It does not preclude the use of additional features and functions provided the minimum
requirements of this European Standard are met and that these features do not adversely affect data
quality, clarity or access.

5 Installation
5.1 Installation requirements
DAHS shall have a certification on the basis of a performance test carried out in accordance with
EN 17255-3. DAHS shall be complete as specified in the performance test report and the certificate.
DAHS shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's requirements. Legal requirements on
installation specified e.g. in the plant permit shall be taken into account and documented in the DAHS
documentation on installation.
A sufficiently stable and vibration-free installation at the site shall be realized. Depending on the
manufacturer's requirements or the results of the performance test, an installation in weather protected
and temperature controlled areas can be necessary.
The installation of electric lines shall be carried out on the basis of the state of the art.
The installation shall be documented in diagrams unambiguously identifying the elements of the DAHS.
If external A/D converters and isolation links are required, which have not been subject to performance
testing of the AMS according to EN 15267-3, or the performance testing of the DAHS according to
EN 17255-2, they shall meet the performance criteria specified in EN 17255-2:2020, 6.2.2.2.
If scaling factors for AMS raw data to FLD are used in the DAHS, the QAL2 calibration factors shall be
determined by use of the scaled AMS raw data.
If AMS are already calibrated and validated, the QAL2 parameters shall be set at the DAHS by use of the
currently valid QAL2 data.
In case of a completely new installation of AMS and the DAHS, preliminary parameters shall be set on the
basis of the instrument characteristics of the corresponding AMS. The final parameter setting is then
carried out after the initial QAL2, which can be carried out in most cases only some time after the plant
has been brought into service.
A test plan for the annual functional test shall be established at the installation of a DAHS. This test plan
should be agreed between the plant operator and the competent authority. The test plan should cover
the elements described in Annex A.
The DAHS documentation on installation shall cover the elements specified in B.4.2.

5.2 Checking the correct installation
5.2.1 General
After installation of DAHS by the supplier or manufacturer a check of the correct installation and function
shall be performed by a testing laboratory.
The check of the correct installation guarantees that the technical conditions for the representative
determination of emissions are fulfilled. Furthermore, the report on this check provides an important
basis for later calibrations, validations and annual surveillance tests of AMS. Therefore, the report o
