2.  The name and signature of the person authorised by the testing laboratory to issue the certificate.

3.  The date of issue of the certificate together with a certificate reference number.

(a)the date of that accreditation; and

(b)the accreditation number.

5.  The name, model, manufacturer and installation capacity of the plant tested.

6.  The date of the testing.

7.  Confirmation that emissions of NOₓ and PM have been tested on the same occasion in accordance with the requirements specified in paragraph 8 or 9.

8.  The requirements of this paragraph are that testing is carried out in accordance with the provisions relevant to emissions of PM and NOₓ in either BS EN 303-5:1999(2) or BS EN 303-5:2012(3), whichever standard is current at the time of testing.

9.  The requirements of this paragraph are that—

(a)testing is carried out in accordance with—

11.  Confirmation that when tested as specified in paragraphs 7 to 10—

(a)emissions of PM from the plant did not exceed 30 grams of PM per gigajoule net heat input; and

(b)emissions of NOₓ did not exceed 150 grams of NOₓ per gigajoule net heat input.

12.  The actual emissions of PM and NOₓ measured when the plant was tested as specified in paragraphs 7 to 10.

13.  A list of—

(a)the types of fuel used during the testing; and

(b)the types of fuel which can be used so as to ensure that the emission limits referred to in paragraph 11 are not exceeded.
