Scope: The verification report does not provide an assessment on whether the calibration of measuring equipments was conducted at a frequency specified in applied monitoring methodology or EB guidance if applicable, and/or the monitoring plan? (VVM v.1.2 para 184 (a) (ii) & EB 52 Annex 60)
Issue:
(a) The DOE indicates that in order to meet monthly recalibration requirement the meters measuring q_HFC23y are shifted from time to time (page 31 of Verification Report). However no information is provided with respect to the precise date for each equipment to ensure that throughout the entire monitoring period an equipment with valid calibration was used.
(b) The DOE indicates that the equipment measuring p_HFC23y was recalibrated on 1 January, February and March, 2011(page 33 of Verification Report). Precise calibration dates are not provided for February and March to ensure that the equipment was duly calibrated during the entire monitoring period.
(c) The DOE indicated that the main meter (SN 8184) measuring Q-LPGy was recalibrated on 19th January, 18th February, 16th March, and 13th April, 2011(page 34 of Verification Report). Information should be provided on calibration status of the equipment from the period of 1 of to 18th of January, 2011 which is within this monitoring period. No information was provided on recalibration of back-up meter (SN 8185) and if it was used during this monitoring period.
(d) The DOE indicated that the equipment measuring ND_HFC23y was recalibrated on 1 January, February and March, 2011(page 33 of Verification Report). Precise calibration dates are not provided for February and March to ensure that the equipment was duly calibrated during the entire monitoring period. The relevant information should be provided.
(e) The DOE indicated that the main meter measuring Q_Elecy was recalibrated by comparing the periodical reading with another certified meter providing details of such meter calibration (page 32 of Verification Report). However, the DOE has not provided information to confirm that this is an acceptable practice considering national calibration standards. Furthermore, recalibration dates were reported as 29 January, 28 February, 31 March 2011 (page 32 of Verification Report). No information is provided related to the period before January 29th. In addition, information should be provided on recalibration dates of other 2 meters (SN 211-784809 and SN 203-145608) which as per the Monitoring Report ( page 18) were used during this monitoring period.
(f) The DOE indicated (page 34 of Verification Report) that the equipment measuring Q_Steamy were recalibrated on 13 of April, 2011 (SN 20080345, 080225008 and L81A1103) and on 19th January, 18th February, 16th March, 13 April, 2011 (SN 20090436, 08225004 and L81A1104). Calibration information does not cover the entire monitoring period.
(g) DOE does not provide precise dates for the calibration of the equipment measuring Q_HCFC22y to ensure that all 7 equipments were dully calibrated during the entire monitoring period (page 33 of Verification Report).
