Epa Protocol Calibration - Teledyne t100 Operation Manual

9.11.

EPA PROTOCOL CALIBRATION

If the T100 is to be used for U.S. EPA SLAMS monitoring, always calibrate it prior to
use, adhering to the EPA designation conditions for operation. (The official List of
Designated Reference and Equivalent Methods is published in the U.S. Federal Register:
http://www3.epa.gov/ttn/amtic/criteria.html). Pay strict attention to the built-in warning
features of the T100, periodic inspection, regular zero/span checks, regular test
parameter evaluation for predictive diagnostics and data analysis, and routine
maintenance. Any instrument(s) supplying the zero air and span calibration gasses used
must themselves be calibrated, and that calibration must be traceable to an EPA/NIST
primary standard.
Comply with Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40 (downloadable from the U.S.
Government Publishing Office at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/) and with Quality
Assurance Guidance documents (available on the EPA website,
http://www.epa.gov/ttn/amtic/qalist.html). Give special attention to specific regulations
regarding the use and operation of ambient sulfur dioxide (fluorescence-based)
analyzers.
