a)

A Party may derogate from the obligation to comply with the ELVs provided for in paragraph 7 in the following cases:

(i)

For combustion plants normally using gaseous fuel which have to resort exceptionally to the use of other fuels because of a sudden interruption in the supply of gas and for this reason would need to be equipped with a waste gas purification facility;

(ii)

For existing combustion plants not operated more than 17,500 operating hours, starting from 1 January 2016 and ending no later than 31 December 2023.

b)

Where a combustion plant is extended by at least 50 MWth, the ELV specified in paragraph 7 for new installations shall apply to the extensional part affected by the change. The ELV is calculated as an average weighted by the actual thermal input for both the existing and the new part of the plant;

c)

Parties shall ensure that provisions are made for procedures relating to malfunction or breakdown of the abatement equipment;

d)

In the case of a multi-fuel firing combustion plant involving the simultaneous use of two or more fuels, the ELV shall be determined as the weighted average of the ELVs for the individual fuels, on the basis of the thermal input delivered by each fuel.

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%.
