technical corrections

Specialty gas producers have one

year to implement the changes

EPA 600/R-12/531 May 2012

This is a 174

page document

and is referred to as

“The Green Book”

The Changes Were Dramatic and Costly to Producers

1) Expiration dating was changed to more closely resemble

the shelf life of the SRMs available.

2) Statistical requirements supporting the accuracy of the

analyses were drastically tightened-Students t Test vs. TOST

(Schuirmann’s two one-sided tests).

3) The regulated community must use EPA Protocol Gases from

PGVP vendors.

4) Protocol Gases in the field may be re-certified to the new

expiration periods.

The AA-PGVP QA requirements in 40 CFR Part 58, Appendix A require:

"2.6 Gaseous and Flow Rate Audit Standards. Gaseous pollutant

concentration standards (permeation devices or cylinders of compressed gas)

used to obtain test concentrations for CO, SO2, NO, and NO2 must be

traceable to either a National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)

Traceable Reference Material (NTRM), NIST Standard Reference Materials

(SRM) and Netherlands Measurement Institute (NMi) Primary Reference

Materials (valid as covered by Joint Declaration of Equivalence) or a NIST-

certified Gas Manufacturer's Internal Standard (GMIS), certified in accordance

with one of the procedures given in reference 4 of this appendix. Vendors

advertising certification with the procedures provided in reference 4 of this

appendix and distributing gases as 'EPA Protocol Gas' must participate.

PGVP Ambient Audit

(EPA Region 2 & 7)

"On and after May 27, 2011 for each unit subject to this

part that uses EPA Protocol gases, the owner or operator

must obtain such gases from either an EPA Protocol gas

production site that is on the EPA list of sites

participating in the PGVP on the date the owner or

operator procures such gases or from a reseller that sells

to the owner or operator unaltered EPA Protocol gases

produced by an EPA Protocol gas production site that

was on the EPA list of participating sites on the date the

reseller procured such gases."
