TÜV NORD Umweltschutz
In accordance with the Federal Immission Control Act (BImSchG), operators of plants requiring authorization are obligated to have the type and scope of emissions from their facilities regularly assessed by an accredited measuring body, as notified under Section 29b BImSchG. Our experts conduct these emission measurements for a wide range of individual substances.
As an experienced measuring center notified under Section 29b BImSchG, we ensure seamless execution of emission measurements and provide meaningful presentation of the results. By collaborating closely with you and the relevant authorities, we guarantee compliance with official emission monitoring requirements. Our employees' high qualifications, rigorous quality assurance of our measuring equipment, and precise laboratory analyses ensure reliable results.
Our diverse team of experts is qualified for nearly all measurement tasks and possesses the necessary expertise for specialized measurements, such as aerosol assessments and PM2.5/PM10 determinations. Leveraging our experience, we tailor measurement methods to the specific conditions of your plant and also find special solutions for unusual and difficult conditions.
We are authorized to conduct emission measurements in accordance with §§ 26 and 28 of the Federal Immission Control Act (BImSchG). As a notified measuring body under §29b of the BImSchG, we specialize in assessing emissions in the following substance areas: G (gaseous substances), P (dust and dust constituents), and Sp (highly toxic organic chemical compounds). In addition to these measurement tasks, we are also a certified measuring center for determining combustion conditions.
Our services are accredited by the German Accreditation Body - DAkkS. You can view this in the accreditation certificate D-PL-14334-01-00 under the following link: Accredited Bodies - DAkkS - German Accreditation Body.

According to the Federal Immission Control Act, operators of facilities requiring approval are obligated, as part of their operator duties, to have the type and extent of emissions from their facilities regularly and repeatedly checked by an independent and duly notified measurement station. This regulation applies to a wide range of agricultural and industrial facilities, including various industrial plants, small, decentralized, and large power plants for energy supply, as well as chemical cleaning facilities. Depending on the type of facility, operators must have the pollutant emissions of their facilities determined semi-annually, annually, or every three years to demonstrate compliance with applicable emission limits. This obligation is either stipulated in the approval notice or may be ordered by the competent authorities on a case-by-case basis.
Furthermore, there are specific requirements for small and medium-sized combustion plants, which were previously regulated by the Technical Instructions on Air Quality Control (TA Luft) and did not require approval under the Federal Immission Control Act (BImSchG). These facilities now fall under the scope of the 44th BImSchV and are therefore also subject to regular monitoring.
For operators of such facilities, which include emergency power generators, new registration and measurement obligations arise, along with stricter limit values. These legal changes often require adjustments in operational processes to ensure compliance with legal requirements and to make a positive contribution to environmental protection.
A key objective of environmental protection is the prevention and reduction of harmful emissions. Emission measurements are essential for capturing and monitoring emissions from facilities, including gaseous and particulate pollutants, as well as odor and noise emissions and immissions.
By conducting regular emission measurements at your facilities, we offer our expertise to support you in actively contributing to environmental protection and ensuring compliance with environmental standards.
Additionally, emission measurements are vital for evaluating and demonstrating adherence to design criteria for new facility technologies, such as advanced exhaust or flue gas cleaning systems. They also provide the necessary evidence of compliance with specified limits required for various compensations under the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG).
