scope:

Specifies a test bench method for the measurement of the pollutant concentration parameter of a specified airborne hazardous substance from machines using a test bench under specified operating conditions. This method is only applicable for the determination of emitted gases, vapours and respirable particles. The determination of the emission rate in a test bench (see EN 1093-3) shall be used when possible. Measurement of the pollutant concentration parameter of a machine can serve for the : a) evaluation of the performance of a machine; b) evaluation of the improvement of the machine; c) comparison of machines within groups of machines with the same intended use (groups are defined by the function and materials processed); d) ranking of machines from the same group according to their pollutant concentration parameters; e) determination of the state of the art of machines with respect to their pollutant concentration parameter.
