      In general, the constructive provisions aim to ensure that the ruin of a structural element does not result in the chain ruin of the structure of the building, including the surrounding premises, and does not promote the collapse of the structure to the outside.
      I. ― The fire-risk premises referred to in Article 8 shall comply with the provisions of this item.
      The premises respect the following minimum fire reaction and resistance characteristics:
      ― the whole structure is a minima R 15. For single ground floor space of more than 12.50 metres high, the structure is R 60, unless the building has an automatic fire suppression device. For premises with mezzanines or two or more levels, floors are EI 120 and floor structures R 120 at least;
      • exterior walls are built in materials A2 s1 d0;
      – they are isolated from other premises by a distance of at least 10 meters or by walls, ceilings and floors that are all REI 120;
      ― any communication with another local is made either by a sas equipped with two E 60 C door blocks, or by an EI2 120 C door with a firm-door device or automatic closure.
      The floor of the premises is incombustible (class A1 fl).
      The openings in the separative elements (passing ducts, pipes and conveyors, doors) are equipped with devices ensuring a degree of lamp keeping equivalent to that required for these separative elements. If a degree of fire hold is required for the wall, the manoeuvrable closures are associated with a device ensuring their automatic closure in the event of a fire, whether on either side of that separative element.
      The coverage meets the BROOF class and index (t3). In addition, thermal insulations (or insulation if only one) are Class A2 s1 d0. If not, the "cover support + insulation" system is class B s1 d0 and meets one of the following conditions:
      - the single insulation has a PCS less than or equal to 8.4 MJ/kg;
      ― thermal insulation is composed of several layers, the first (in contact with the cover holder), a thickness of at least 30 millimetres, of density greater than 110 kg/m3 and mechanically fixed, has a PCS less than or equal to 8.4 MJ/kg, and the upper layers are made of insulations justifying in thickness of 60 millimetres of a class D2. These upper layers are intersected with the right of each cantonment screen by an insulating PCS less than or equal to 8.4 MJ/kg.
      Materials used for natural lighting meet the d0 class.
      Access to the premises allows the rapid response of the rescue. In case of a closed space, one of the facades is equipped with openings allowing the passage of equipped saviors.
      II. ― The largest width of a building with a fire-risk space is limited to 75 metres, unless the building is equipped with an automatic fire-extinguishing system.
      III. ― If there is a boiler room, it is located in a space exclusively reserved for this effect that meets the requirements of point I.
      Outside the boiler room are installed:
      a valve on the feeding of burners to stop the arrival of the fuel;
      – a circuit breaker stopping the operation of the fuel pump;
      – a sound and visual warning device in the event of the malfunction of the burners, or another equivalent efficiency alert system.
      No flammable gas piping is present inside fire-risk premises unless it is required for the supply of equipment required for the production process. In this case, the piping is shock-protected and includes safety devices to safely cut its power supply if necessary.
      Battery charging is prohibited outside a specific charging station in accordance with the provisions of I in the event of risks associated with gas emanations. In the absence of such risks, a refill area may be installed by local in accordance with the provisions of I, subject to being 3 metres away from any fuel or hazardous material and being protected from short-circuit risks.
      IV. - The evidence of fire resistance properties is retained and maintained at the disposal of the inspection of classified facilities.

      Article 12 Learn more about this article...


      Fire-risk premises identified in section 8 comply with the provisions of this section.
      I. – Township.
      The premises are divided into defensive cantons with a maximum area of 1,600 square metres and a maximum length of 60 metres.
      Each cantonment screen is DH 30, with reference to the standard NF EN 12 101-1, version June 2006, and has a minimum height of 1 meter.
      An area of a minimum height of 1 meter below the lowest point level of the cantonment screen is free of all congestion.
      The difference in height between the level of the highest point occupied by manufacturing and storage processes and the lowest point of the cantonment screen is greater than or equal to 1 meter.
      II. ∙ Defumage.
      Smoke cantons are partly equipped with natural smoke and heat evacuation devices (DENFC).
      A useful area DENFC between 1 and 6 square metres is planned for 250 square metres of projected roof area.
      The DENFCs are located on the roof at least 5 metres from the "firewall" walls separating the facility's premises.
      Smoke disposal devices are composed of automatic and manual control outlets. The useful surface of all these outlets is greater than or equal to 2% of the area of each defrosting canton.
      The action of a security command cannot be reversed by another command.
      In normal operation, rearming (closing) is possible from the building floor, from the defumeration area or from the premises to defumerate.
      DENFC manual controls are easily accessible from building exits or equipped premises. These manual opening controls are installed in accordance with NF S 61-932, December 2008.
      The DENFCs, with reference to the standard NF EN 12 101-2, dated October 2003, have the following characteristics:
      - Type B opening system (opening + closing);
      – RE 300 reliability class (300 safety cycles);
      - classification of the snow overload at the opening SL 250 (25 daN/m2) for altitudes below or equal to 400 metres and SL 500 (50 daN/m2) for altitudes between 400 and 800 metres. Class SL 0 is usable if the location area is not likely to be snowed or if constructive provisions prevent snow accumulation. Above 800 metres, the outlets are SL 500 and installed with constructive provisions preventing snow accumulation;
      ambient temperature class T(00);
      – heat exposure class B 300.
      The activation of the defumage is not enslaved to the same detection as that to which the automatic extinction system is enslaved if it exists.
      In the presence of an automatic extinguishing system, the automatic opening devices of the outlets are set so that the opening of the defumming organs cannot occur before the automatic extinction is triggered.
      III. - Fresh air.
      Fresh air intakes of an area equal to the surface of the outlets of the largest canton, local by local, are carried out either by openings on the façade or by mouths connected to ducts or by the doors of the premises to be deactivated on the outside.

      II. – Accessibility of equipment near the facility.
      At least one "machine" track is kept clear for traffic on the perimeter of the facility and is positioned so that it cannot be obstructed by the collapse of any or part of this facility or by the extinction waters.
      This "machine" track respects the following characteristics:
      - the useful width is at least 6 metres, the free height at a minimum of 4.5 metres and the slope below 15%;
      - in the inner radius bends below 50 metres, a minimum R inner radius of 13 metres is maintained and a S = 15/R metres overwidth is added;
      – the track is resistant to the bearing force calculated for a 320 kN vehicle with a maximum of 130 kN per axle, with a minimum distance of 3.6 metres;
      ― each point in the perimeter of the installation is at a maximum distance of 60 metres from that track;
      – no obstacle is available between the access to the facility or the "scale" lanes defined in IV and the "machine" lane.
      In the event of the impossibility of setting up a "machine" track allowing traffic on the entire perimeter of the installation and if all or part of the track is stale, the last 40 meters of the part of the stale track are of a minimum useful width of 7 meters and a reversing area within a circle of 20 meters in diameter is expected at its end.
      III. – Displace emergency equipment inside the site.
      In order to allow the crossing of emergency equipment, any section of "machine" track of more than 100 linear meters has at least two so-called cross-roads, judiciously positioned, presenting the same grades of slope, bearing and free height as the "machine" track and having:
      – a minimum useful width of 3 meters in addition to the "engine" track;
      – a minimum length of 15 metres.
      IV. ― Laying down ladders.
      For any installation located in a building of height greater than 8 metres, at least one façade is served by at least one "scale" track allowing the circulation and stationing of the air scales. This "scale" path is directly accessible from the equipment track defined in II.
      From this path, a ladder accessing at least the entire height of the building can be arranged. The track meets the following characteristics:
      ― the useful width is at least 4 meters, the length of the parking area at least 10 meters, the slope at a maximum of 10%;
      - in the inner radius bends below 50 metres, a minimum R inner radius of 13 metres is maintained and a S = 15/R metres overwidth is added;
      - no air obstacle hinders the manoeuvre of these scales vertically across the entire track;
      - the distance to the façade is 1 meter minimum and 8 meters maximum for parking parallel to the building and less than 1 meter for parking perpendicular to the building;
      – the track is resistant to the carrying force calculated for a 320 kN vehicle with a maximum of 130 kN per axle, with a minimum distance of 3.6 metres and a minimum punching resistance of 88 N/cm2.
      For any installation located in a multi-level building with at least one floor located at a height greater than 8 metres from the level of emergency access, on at least two facades, this "scale" path allows access to openings.
      These openings allow at least one access per floor for each façade with a "scale" track and have a minimum height of 1.8 metres and a minimum width of 0.9 metres. Obturation panels or frames that make these access open and remain accessible from outside and inside. They are easily identified from outside by emergency services.
      V. ∙ Establishment of the hydraulic system from the equipment.
      From each "machine" or "scale" track is provided access to the exits of the building or at least two opposite sides of the installation by a stabilized path of at least 1.8 meters wide.

    • Section 4: Accidental pollution retention device Article 22 Learn more about this article...


      I. ― Any storage of a liquid that may cause water or soil pollution is associated with a retention capacity that is at least equal to the largest of the following two values:
      100% of the capacity of the largest tank;
      50% of the total capacity of the associated tanks.
      This provision is not applicable to wastewater treatment basins.
      For storage of unit capacity receptacles less than or equal to 250 litres, the retention capacity is at least equal to:
      - in the case of flammable liquids, 50% of the total capacity of drums;
      – in other cases, 20% of the total capacity of the drums;
      - in all cases, at least 800 litres, or equal to the total capacity when it is less than 800 litres.
      II. ― Retention capacity is resistant to products that it can contain and resist the physical and chemical action of fluids. The same applies to its shut-off device, which is kept closed.
      The leakage of the (or) associated tank(s) must be controlled at any time.
      Products recovered in the event of an accident may only be released under conditions consistent with this order or are disposed of as waste.
      Containers or containers containing incompatible products are not associated with the same retention.
      Storage of flammable liquids and other toxic or dangerous products for the environment is permitted under the soil level only in masonate or assimilated pit tanks, and for flammable liquids, under the conditions set out above.
      III. ― When the storage of liquids that may create pollution of the water or soil is in the open air, the retentions are emptied as soon as possible from the rainwaters pouring into it.
      IV. ∙ The soil of areas and premises for the storage or handling of hazardous materials for humans or which may create pollution of water or soil is waterproof and equipped so that the washwater and the material may be collected accidentally.
      V. ― All measures are taken to collect all waters and flows that are likely to be polluted during a disaster, including water used during a fire, so that they are recovered or treated to prevent pollution of soils, sewers, streams or natural environment. This containment can be achieved by internal or external devices at the facility. Internal devices are prohibited when dangerous substances are stored.
      In the event of an external containment device to the installation, the channeled materials are collected, gravelly or through self-sustaining systems, and then converge to this specific capacity. In the event of the use of autonomous lifting systems, the operator is able to justify at any time a rigorous maintenance and maintenance of these devices. Regular tests are also conducted on these equipment.
      In case of internal containment, the flow holes are in default closed position. In the event of external containment, the flow holes from these devices are equipped with an automatic shut-off device to ensure this containment when waters that are likely to be polluted are carried. Any means are put in place to avoid the spread of the fire by these flows.
      The volume required for this containment is determined as follows. The operator calculates the sum:
      – the volume of extinction water required to fight the fire on the one hand;
      – the volume of product released by this fire on the other hand;
      – the volume of water related to weather, at 10 litres per square metre of drainage surface to the containment facility when the containment is external.
      The collected extinction waters are disposed of to the appropriate waste processing channels.

In the absence of a special arrangement, both in terms of design and construction (wind-based installation, etc.) and in operation (humidification of storage, spraying of additives to limit flight in dry weather, etc.) are implemented.

    • Section 2: Atmosphere Releases Rule 45 Learn more about this article...


      Release points in the natural environment are as small as possible. If a number of discharge points are required, the operator warrants that.
      The effluents are collected and released to the atmosphere, after possible treatment, through chimneys to allow proper release. The shape of ducts, particularly in their closest part of the outlet to the atmosphere, is designed to maximize the rise of gas in the atmosphere. The location of these ducts is such that there can be no siphoning of discharged effluents in the pipelines or air catches nearby. The contours of the ducts are not angular and the variation of the section of the ducts in the vicinity of the outlet is continuous and slow.

      Rule 46 Learn more about this article...


      The measuring points and sampling points shall be arranged in accordance with the conditions set out in the reference methods specified in the order of 7 July 2009 referred to and equipped with the equipment necessary to carry out the measures provided for in this Order under representative conditions.

      Rule 47 Learn more about this article...


      The height of the chimney (difference between the elevation of the open air outlet and the mean altitude of the ground at the place in question), expressed in metres, is determined, on the one hand, according to the level of the emissions of pollutants to the atmosphere, on the other hand, depending on the existence of obstacles that may hinder the dispersion of the gases.
      This height, which cannot be less than 10 metres, is the subject of justification in the file, in accordance with the provisions of Appendix II.

    • Section 3: Emission Limit Values Rule 48 Learn more about this article...


      The operator demonstrates that the emission limit values set below are consistent with the state of the environment.
      For flow determination, channelled emissions and diffuse emissions are taken into account.
      The methods of measurement, sampling and reference analysis in force are determined by the above-mentioned decision of 7 July 2009.

      Rule 49 Learn more about this article...


      The flow of gaseous effluent is expressed in cubic metres per hour in relation to normal temperature conditions (273 Kelvins) and pressure (101.3 kilopascals) after deduction of water vapour (dry gas). When the facility uses a combustion process, the gaseous effluent flow and pollutant concentrations are reported to the same reference oxygen content of 3% for gaseous and liquid fuels, 6% for liquid fuels. Pollutant concentrations are expressed in gram(s) or milligram(s) per cubic metre reported to the same standard conditions.
      For drying facilities, measurements are made on wet gases.

      Rule 50 Learn more about this article...


      I. ― Gas effluents respect the limit values in the table below according to the hourly flow. In the event that the same pollutant is emitted by various channelled releases, the limit values applicable to each channelled release are determined, if any, based on the total flow of all channelled and diffuse releases.



      You can consult the table in the
      JOn° 304 of 31/12/2013 text number 59



      II. ― In the event of using an oxidation technique to eliminate VOCs, the reference oxygen content for the verification of compliance with emission limit values is that measured in effluents from oxidation equipment. A secondary energy recovery device is installed, unless the operator demonstrates that this device is not required.
      III. ― Substances or mixtures to which are assigned, or on which are affixed, hazard statements H340, H350, H350i, H360D or H360F or risk phrases R 45, R 46, R 49, R 60 or R 61, due to their content of volatile organic compounds classified as carcinogens, mutagenics or toxic for reproduction under the regulations2/2008
      IV. ― Limit values are required for medium measurements, sampling and analysis carried out over a half-hour period.
      Generally:
      - in the case of instantaneous sampling, no measurement result exceeds double the prescribed limit value;
      - in the case of a permanent self-monitoring (at least one representative measure per day), 10% of the series of measurements results may exceed the prescribed limit values, but not more than double these values. These 10 per cent are counted on a 24-hour basis.
      For the specific case of emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs):
      - in the case of a permanent self-monitoring (at least one representative measure per day), none of the averages for twenty-four hours of normal operation exceeds the emission limit values and none of the mean hours is more than 1.5 times the emission limit value;
      ―in the case of periodic measurements, the average of all measurements carried out during a monitoring operation does not exceed the emission limit values and none of the time averages is more than 1.5 times the emission limit value.
      V. ∙ Implementation of a VOC emission control scheme:
      The limit values for VOC emissions defined in the first paragraph of paragraph 7 (a) of Table I are not applicable to releases of VOC emission control facilities as defined below.
      Such a scheme ensures that the total flow of VOC emissions from the facility does not exceed the flow that would be achieved by strict application of the channeled and diffuse emission limit values defined in this Order.
      The scheme is developed from a reference emission level of the facility corresponding to the level achieved if no VOC emission reduction measures were implemented on the facility.
      The VOC emission control scheme is established either on the basis of a professional guide recognized by the Minister responsible for the environment or on the basis of a methodology developed by the operator for which the prefect may require a critical analysis by an expert external body chosen by the operator in accordance with the administration.
      Facilities, or parts of facilities, in which one or more of the substances referred to in point d of 7° of Table I are implemented, are subject to an emission control scheme.
      However, the substances referred to in point d of 7° of Table I, which remain used in the facility despite the implementation of the emission control scheme, remain subject to compliance with the limit values set out in d of 7° of Table I.
      VI. ― For all other substances that may be released by the facility, the gaseous effluents meet the concentration limit values set out in the table according to the hourly flux set out in Annex III.
      The operator maintains the complete list of substances that may be released by the facility, specifying those that are subject to the monitoring provided for in section 59.
      The operator shall be at the disposal of the inspection of the classified facilities the technical elements to verify the absence of the facility for the other substances listed in Annex III.

      Rule 51 Learn more about this article...


      Any operator of a facility that consumes more than one ton of solvents per year puts in place a solvent management plan, including the intakes and outflows of solvents of the facility. This plan is made available for inspection of classified facilities.
      If the facility's annual solvent consumption is greater than 30 tonnes per year, the operator shall annually transmit to the inspection of the classified facilities the solvent management plan and the information on its actions to reduce consumption.

      When the air pollutant releases exceed the thresholds below, the operator shall, under the conditions set out in section 49, perform a continuous measurement of the corresponding discharge rate and the following measures. In the event that diffuse emissions represent a significant share of authorized flows, these emissions are periodically evaluated.



      You can consult the table in the
      JOn° 304 of 31/12/2013 text number 59



      Other pollutants released by the facility not specified in the previous table are also monitored as long as the corresponding daily flow exceeds the values listed in Annex III. Unless specifically provided by the operator, this monitoring is ongoing.
      For VOCs:
      - in the case of the establishment of an emission control scheme (MES) in accordance with the provisions of Article 50 V, continuous monitoring may be replaced by a material balance sheet in accordance with Article 51 (solvent management plan);
      – in the general case, continuous monitoring can be replaced by a representative parameter, which is linked to emissions.
      The establishment of a correlation pursuant to the preceding paragraph and the c of item 7° of the previous table is confirmed periodically by a measurement of emissions. This periodicity is daily during the correlation phase. Once this correlation is properly defined and justified, this correlation is confirmed periodically by a measurement of emissions that are justified by the operator.
      In the event of exceedance of authorized threshold values, the operator shall make the necessary arrangements to re-conform these releases, by justifying this compliance with a satisfactory verification check. It specifies on a register the actions carried out and informs the inspection of classified facilities. The results of the measurements are made available for inspection of classified facilities.

    The Director General of Risk Prevention is responsible for the execution of this Order, which will be published in the Official Journal of the French Republic.

  • Annex



    A N N E X E S
    A N N E X E I
    TECHNICAL REGULATIONS


    The facility is built, equipped and operated so that its operation is not at the origin of vibrations in the surrounding constructions that could compromise the health or safety of the neighbourhood or create a nuisance for the neighbourhood.
    The particulate velocity of the emitted vibrations measured by the method defined in this annex shall not exceed the values defined below.


    1. Limit values of particulate speed
    1.1. Continuous or assimilated sources


    Are considered continuous or assimilated sources:
    - all machines emitting vibrations continuously;
    ― sources emitting pulses at fairly short intervals without limiting the number of emissions.
    The limit values applicable to each of the three components of the vibration movement are as follows:


    FREQUENCES
    4 Hz ― 8 Hz
    8 Hz ― 30 Hz
    30 Hz ― 100 Hz

    Resistant constructions

    5 mm/s

    6 mm/s

    8 mm/s

    Sensitive construction

    3 mm/s

    5 mm/s

    6 mm/s

    Very sensitive constructions

    2 mm/s

    3 mm/s

    4 mm/s


    1.2. Repeated pulse sources


    All sources emitting, in limited numbers, pulses at fairly short intervals but greater than 1 s and less than 500 ms are considered to be repeated pulses.
    The limit values applicable to each of the three components of the vibration movement are as follows:


    FREQUENCES
    4 Hz ― 8 Hz
    8 Hz ― 30 Hz
    30 Hz ― 100 Hz

    Resistant constructions

    8 mm/s

    12 mm/s

    15 mm/s

    Sensitive construction

    6 mm/s

    9 mm/s

    12 mm/s

    Very sensitive constructions

    4 mm/s

    6 mm/s

    9 mm/s


    Regardless of the nature of the source, where the frequencies corresponding to the particulate speeds commonly observed during the measurement period are approaching 0.5 Hz frequencies of 8, 30 and 100 Hz, the limit value to be retained is that corresponding to the immediately lower frequency band. If vibrations involve frequencies outside the 4-100 Hz interval, it is used by a qualified body approved by the Minister responsible for the environment.


    2. Construction classification


    For the application of particulate speed limits, constructions are classified into three categories according to their level of resistance:
    • Resistant constructions: constructions of classes 1 to 4 defined by Circular No. 23 of 23 July 1986 on mechanical vibrations emitted in the environment by installations classified for environmental protection;
    • sensitive constructions: constructions of classes 5 to 8 defined by circular 23 of 23 July 1986;
    ― very sensitive constructions: constructions of classes 9 to 13 defined by circular 23 of 23 July 1986.
    The following constructions are excluded from this classification:
    - nuclear reactors and their associated installations;
    - general safety facilities except for the constructions that contain them;
    – dams, bridges;
    • water castles;
    - large-range transport facilities of gases or liquids other than water and water pipes under pressure greater than one metre;
    – storage tanks for gas, liquid hydrocarbons or cereals;
    - railway or road tunnels and other underground works of similar importance;
    ― harbour works such as dikes, docks and works located at sea, including drilling platforms,
    for which the study of vibration effects is entrusted to a qualified body. The choice of this body is approved by inspection of classified facilities.


    3. Method of measurement
    3.1. Basic elements


    The movement in one point of a construction is recorded in three rectangular directions, one vertical, the other two directions being defined in relation to the horizontal axes of the work studied without taking into account the azimut.
    The sensors are placed on the main element of the construction (window support of a carrying wall, support point on the metal frame or concrete in the case of a modern construction).


    3.2. Measuring apparatus


    The measuring string to be used allows the recording, depending on time, of the particulate speed in the frequency band from 4 Hz to 150 Hz for the amplitudes of this speed between 0.1 mm/s and 50 mm/s. The chain dynamic is at least 54 dB.


    3.3. Operational conditions


    The sensors are completely supportive of their support. They are not installed on the coatings (zinc, plaster, tiles, etc.) that can act as vibration filters or cause parasites vibration if these coatings are not well in solidarity with the main element of the construction. Unless specifically justified, a measure of the existing agitations, apart from the operation of the source is performed.


    A N N E X E I
    CALCUL RULES OF CHEMINATION


    It is calculated first the amount s = (k. q/cm) for each of the main pollutants where:
    k is a coefficient of 340 for gaseous pollutants and 680 for dust;
    q is the maximum instantaneous flow rate of the pollutant emitted to the chimney expressed in kilograms per hour;
    cm is the maximum concentration of the pollutant considered eligible for soil level as a result of the facility expressed in milligrams per normal cubic metre;
    cm is equal to cr-co where cr is a reference value given by the table below and where co is the annual average of the measured concentration at the place considered.

    0.07

    0.08


    For other pollutants, in the absence of a measure, co may be neglected.
    It is then determined s that is equal to the largest of the s values calculated for each of the main pollutants.
    The height of the chimney, expressed in metres, is at least equal to the hp value calculated as follows:
    hp = s1/2 (R. ΔT)-1/6
    where:
    s is defined above;
    R is the gas flow expressed in cubic metres per hour and counted at the actual gas ejection temperature;
    ΔT is the difference expressed in kelvin between the temperature at the outlet of the chimney and the annual average ambient air temperature. If ΔT is less than 50 kelvins we adopt the value of 50 for the calculation.
    If a facility is equipped with several chimneys or if there are other releases from the same pollutants to the atmosphere, the calculation of the height of the chimney is as follows:
    Two chimneys i and j of heights respectively hi and hj are considered dependent if the following three conditions are simultaneously met:
    - the distance between the axes of the two chimneys is less than the sum: (hi + hj + 10) (in meters);
    ― hi is greater than half hj;
    ―hj is greater than half hi.
    It is determined thus all the chimneys dependent on the chimney considered to be at least equal to the hp value calculated for the total mass flow of the pollutant considered and the total volumic flow of the gases emitted by all these chimneys.
    If there are natural or artificial barriers in the vicinity to disrupt the dispersion of gases, the height of the chimney is corrected as follows:
    ― the hp value is calculated taking into account other releases when there are;
    ― structures and buildings are considered to be obstacles, including those that house the facility being studied, simultaneously meeting the following three conditions:
    ― they are located at a horizontal distance (expressed in meters) less than 10 hp + 50 of the axis of the chimney considered;
    - they have a width greater than 2 metres;
    – they are seen from the chimney considered from an angle greater than 15° in the horizontal plane;
    ―or hi the altitude (expressed in metres and taken relative to the average level of the ground at the place of the chimney) of a point of an obstacle located at a horizontal distance di (expressed in metres) of the axis of the chimney considered, and Hi defined as follows:
    • if di is less than or equal to 2 hp + 10,Hi = hi + 5;
    • if di is between 2 hp + 10 hp + 50, Hi = 5/4 (hi + 5) (1 ― di/(10 hp + 50));
    - the largest Hp of the Hi values calculated for all points of all the obstacles defined above;
    – the height of the chimney is greater than or equal to the largest Hp and hp values.
    The maximum continuous gas ejection speed is at least 8 m/s if the emission flow of the treated chimney exceeds 5,000 m3/h, 5 m/s if the flow rate is less than or equal to 5,000 m3/h.

    I. ― Gas effluents meet the limit values in the table below. In the event that the same pollutant is emitted by various channelled releases, the limit values applicable to each channelled release are determined, where applicable, based on the total flow of all channelled and diffuse releases. For flow determination, channelled emissions and diffuse emissions are taken into account.

    II. ― Limit values are required for medium measurements, sampling and analysis carried out over a half-hour period.
    Generally:
    - in the case of instantaneous sampling, no measurement result exceeds double the prescribed limit value;
    - in the case of a permanent self-monitoring (at least one representative measure per day), 10% of the series of measurements results may exceed the prescribed limit values, but not more than double these values. These 10 per cent are counted on a 24-hour basis.
    For the specific case of emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs):
    - in the case of a permanent self-monitoring (at least one representative measure per day), none of the averages for twenty-four hours of normal operation exceeds the emission limit values and none of the mean hours is more than 1.5 times the emission limit value;
    ―in the case of periodic measurements, the average of all measurements carried out during a monitoring operation does not exceed the emission limit values and none of the time averages is more than 1.5 times the emission limit value.
    III. ― Where releases of pollutants to the atmosphere exceed the below thresholds for other pollutants as listed in section 50, the operator shall, under the conditions provided for in section 49, perform an ongoing measurement of the flow of the corresponding release and the following measures. In the event that diffuse emissions represent a significant share of authorized flows, these emissions are periodically evaluated.

    When dust contains at least one of the metals or metal compounds listed in this Annex (8° [a, b or c]) and if the hourly flow of dust-lined emissions exceeds 50 g/h, the measurement of dust emissions is carried out on an ongoing basis.
