CEMS Certification

Once the system has been started up, all equipment and components installed on the shelter are checked for functionality, and the process/plant is functioning, it is time to begin the certification process. Each CEMS must be certified according to the appropriate permit and regulatory requirements.

Certification Support

Our Field Service team will assist with all certification testing in accordance with regulations like 40 CFR Parts 60, 75, and 98. This may include performing or assisting with quality assurance tests like a 40 CFR 60 Cylinder Gas Audit (CGA), a 40 CFR 75 linearity check, a 7-Day Calibration Error Drift Test, a 40 CFR 60 Response Time Test, a 40 CFR 75 cycle time test, and a Relative Accuracy Test Audit (RATA).

Our field service technicians arrive on-site and verify the system performance by performing an initial daily calibration check, interact with the RATA test team to resolve issues, check the analyzer responses, and verify the data collected by the DAHS computer. Our environmental team can help make sure that you are performing the appropriate QA tests within the required time frames. They can also prepare certification reports, review reports that have been written by 3rd parties, and assist with or enter data for electronic submittals in the ECMPS Client Tool and PADEP Greenport.
