16 Protocol bij het Verdrag van 1979 betreffende grensoverschrijdende luchtverontreiniging over lange afstand inzake vermindering van verzuring, eutrofiëring en ozon op leefniveau
Parties other than Canada and the United States of America
Combustion installations with a rated thermal input < 50 MWth:
This paragraph is recommendatory in character and describes the measures that can be taken insofar as a Party considers them to be technically and economically feasible for the control of particulate matter:
a) Residential combustion installations with a rated thermal input < 500 kWth:
(i) Emissions from new residential combustion stoves and boilers with a rated thermal input < 500 kWth can be reduced by the application of:
aa) Product standards as described in CEN standards (e.g., EN 303–5) and equivalent product standards in the United States and Canada.
Countries applying such product standards may define additional national requirements taking into account, in particular, the contribution of emissions of condensable organic compounds to the formation of ambient PM; or
bb) Ecolabels specifying performance criteria that are typically stricter than the minimum efficiency requirements of the EN product standards or national regulations.
Table 12 Recommended limit values for dust emissions released from new solid fuel combustion installations with a rated thermal input < 500 kWth to be used with product standards
Dust (mg/m3)
Open/closed fireplaces and stoves using wood | 75
Log wood boilers (with heat storage tank) | 40
Pellet stoves and boilers | 50
Stoves and boilers using other solid fuels than wood | 50
Automatic combustion installations | 50
Note: O2 reference content: 13%.
(ii) Emissions from existing residential combustion stoves and boilers can be reduced by the following primary measures:
aa) public information and awareness-raising programmes regarding:
– The proper operation of stoves and boilers;
– The use of untreated wood only;
– The correct seasoning of wood for moisture content.
bb) establishing a programme to promote the replacement of the oldest existing boilers and stoves by modern appliances; or
cc) establishing an obligation to exchange or retrofit old appliances.
b) Non-residential combustion installations with a rated thermal input 100 kWth–1 MWth:
Table 13 Recommended limit values for dust emissions released from boilers and process heaters with a rated thermal input of 100 kWth–1 MWth.
Dust (mg/m3)
Solid fuels 100–500 kWth | New installations | 50
Existing installations | 150
Solid fuels 500 kWth–1 MWth | New installations | 50
Existing installations | 150
Note: O2 reference content: wood, other solid biomass and peat: 13%; coal, lignite and other fossil solid fuels: 6%.
c) Combustion installations with a rated thermal input > 1–50 MWth:
Table 14 Recommended limit values for dust emissions released from boilers and process heaters with a rated thermal input of 1 MWth–50 MWth
Dust (mg/m3)
Solid fuels > 1–5 MWth | New installations | 20
Existing installations | 50
Solid fuels > 5–50 MWth | New installations | 20
Existing installations | 30
Liquid fuels > 1–5 MWth | New installations | 20
Existing installations | 50
Liquid fuels >5-50 MWth | New installations | 20
Existing installations | 30
Note: O2 reference content: Wood, other solid biomass and peat: 11%; Coal, lignite and other fossil solid fuels: 6%; Liquid fuels, including liquid biofuels: 3%.
