The initial focus of MCERTS was on continuous emissions monitoring systems (CEMS) for chimney stacks.

The scheme covers:

Ø      Extractive stack emission-monitoring instruments.

Ø      Cross-stack or in-situ emissions monitoring instruments.

and performance standards were developed for:

Ø      large combustion plant;

Ø      incineration of municipal and hazardous wastes;

Ø      solvent-using processes.

The Agency recognised that there should be additional category for for other industries and these are included in the latest version of the performance standards.

The atmospheric pollutants covered by the scheme are selected so that there is maximum overlap with, and benefits to, a wide range of industrial processes. These now include greenhouse gases and pollutants such as HF and ammonia. Other instruments are being considered.

The measurement ranges covered for each of the determinands depends on the specific, industrial-process application for the CEM. The instrument manufacturer and Sira agree this scope at the time of the application.
