BS EN 17389:2020 pdf download.Stationary source emissions – Quality assurance and quality control procedures for automated dust arrestment plant monitors.
This document specifies the quality assurance and quality control procedures related to automated dust arrestment plant monitors.
This document applies to two types of instruments commonly used for dust arrestment plant control urposes:
— filter dust monitors that are configured in mass concentration units (e.g. mg/ma) and are used for dust arrestment control purposes;
— filter leakage monitors that indicate a change in the emission levels or a change in the magnitude of the dust pulses created by the cleaning process of the dust arrestment plant.
This document applies to instruments certified according to the requirements of EN 15859. This document provides information on the configuration, ongoing quality assurance (with automatic internal zero point and reference point checks) and annual surveillance tests of instruments. This ensures that the instrument is providing information to demonstrate that the dust arrestment plant is working correctly and controlling dust pollution to the required levels.
The configuration of the alarm levels of filter dust monitors is performed by parallel measurements with the standard reference method in EN 13284-1.
This document specifies the set-up of filter leakage monitors used to monitor a change in response caused by deterioration in the operation of the dust arrestment plant.

5 Principle
This document deals with quality assurance and quality control related to filter dust monitors and filter leak monitors used on industrial plants for monitoring and controlling dust abatement systems.
The following four levels of quality assurance are required:
— selection and installation of a suitable instrument for the measurement task;
— configuration of the instrument;
— ongoing quality assurance of the instrument during its operation on an industrial plant by internal fault detection;
— annual surveillance test of the instrument.
6 Selection and installation of a suitable instrument
6.1 Selection
This document shall be used with instruments that are certified according to EN 15859.
AMS that are certified according to EN 15267-1, EN 15267-2 and EN 15267-3 may also be used in accordance with this document.
The application suitability of an instrument shall be considered when selecting an instrument for a particular dust arrestment plant.BS EN 17389 pdf download.
