Description (English):

ISO 13199:2012 specifies the principle, the essential performance criteria and quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) procedures of an automatic method for measuring total volatile organic compound (TVOC) content in waste gases of stationary sources, using a non-dispersive infrared absorption (NDIR) analyser equipped with a catalytic converter which oxidizes VOC to carbon dioxide. This method is suitable for the measurement of TVOC emissions from non-combustion processes. This method allows continuous monitoring with permanently installed measuring systems, as well as intermittent measurements of TVOC emissions. The method has been tested on field operation for painting and printing processes, where TVOC concentrations in the waste gases were from about 70 mg/m3 to 600 mg/m3.

Abstract

Overview

EN ISO 13199:2012 / ISO 13199:2012 defines an automatic method for measuring total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs) in waste gases from non‑combustion stationary sources. The method uses a non‑dispersive infrared (NDIR) analyser equipped with a catalytic converter that oxidizes VOCs to carbon dioxide (CO2) and measures the resulting CO2 signal as a proxy for TVOC mass concentration. EN ISO 13199:2012 covers the measurement principle, essential performance criteria and the required quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) procedures for continuous and intermittent monitoring. The standard has been field‑tested on painting and printing processes with TVOC levels roughly 70–600 mg/m3.

Key topics and requirements

Measurement principle: Extractive NDIR detection after catalytic oxidation of VOC to CO2.
Scope: Applicable to waste gases from non‑combustion processes (not for combustion sources).
Performance criteria: Specifies essential performance characteristics and how to determine measurement uncertainty (see clauses on performance characteristics).
Automatic Measuring Systems (AMS): Requirements for permanently installed continuous systems and for intermittent measurements.
Sampling & measurement procedure: Guidance on probe installation, sampling, data collection and calculation of TVOC mass concentration.
QA/QC procedures: Calibration, frequency of checks, operational gases and procedures for ensuring reliable results.
Annexes: Include schematic diagrams of NDIR analysers, operational gas specifications, procedures for performance testing and example compliance assessments.
Standards referenced: Normative references include ISO 9169:2006 (AMS performance), ISO 14956 (suitability evaluation) and ISO 20988 (measurement uncertainty).

Applications and users

EN ISO 13199:2012 is intended for:

Environmental regulators setting monitoring requirements for solvent‑using industries.
Plant operators and environmental managers in painting, printing, coating, degreasing and similar non‑combustion processes who need continuous emissions data or intermittent compliance checks.
Air quality laboratories and field engineers responsible for installation, calibration and QA/QC of NDIR‑based TVOC monitors.
Instrument manufacturers developing NDIR analysers with catalytic converters and demonstrating conformity with performance criteria.

Practical uses include continuous emissions monitoring, process control to reduce VOC losses, verification of abatement systems and compliance reporting.
