European foreword
This document (prEN 18329:2026) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 474 “Carbon
dioxide Capture, transportation, Utilisation, and Storage (CCUS)”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
Introduction
The document provides requirements and recommendations for the selection, operation, and quality
assurance of sampling and analysis measurement equipment.
The information presented in this document is based on the best available knowledge at the time of
writing, incorporating both experimental and operational experience where possible. In areas where
such experience is not yet available, a conservative approach has been adopted, following common
practices established across similar industries. As further experience is gained, it is expected that this
document will be revised accordingly.
1 Scope
This document specifies requirements and recommendations for measuring the composition of CO
streams during post capture pipeline transportation.
The primary objective of this document is to establish standardized technical requirements and
recommendations necessary for implementing regulations, commercial contracts, inventory ownership
and fiscal transactions within the framework of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS).
This document includes measurements up to the storage injection points but does not cover
Measurement, Monitoring, and Verification (MMV) once the CO has entered the geological storage
complex.
The differentiation between biogenic and non-biogenic CO in a CO stream is recognized as highly
2 2
relevant for accounting purposes. However, the measurement methodologies for the biogenic CO
fraction fall outside the scope of this document, which covers post-capture pipeline transportation. This
document is not intended to differentiate between biogenic CO and CO produced from non-biogenic
2 2
sources.

on the basis of their chemical or physical properties
Note 1 to entry: A typical assembly can comprise:
— connectors/manifold permitting the introduction and removal of a sample and/or calibration gas(es),
— a measuring cell which, from the physical or chemical properties of the components present in the sample,
gives signals allowing their identification or measurement, and
— signal processing devices (e.g. amplifiers, integrators, recorders) and/or data processing devices.
Note 2 to entry: Assembly does not comprise the sampling system.
[SOURCE: ISO 7504:2015, 8.3.1, modified — “connectors/manifold” replaces “lines” in Note 1 to entry;
Note 2 to entry added.]
3.1.4

analysis within the analytical unit, but does not account for the time required for the transmission of the
measurement output signal outside the analytical unit.
3.1.5
analysis function
relationship describing component content as a function of instrument response
Note 1 to entry: It refers to the analysis function of the analytical unit for composition determination.

values with measurement uncertainties provided by measurement standards and corresponding
indications with associated measurement uncertainties and, in a second step uses this information to
establish a relation for obtaining a measurement result from an indication
Note 1 to entry: A calibration can be expressed by a statement, calibration function, calibration diagram, calibration
curve, or calibration table. In some cases, it consists of an additive or multiplicative correction of the indication with
associated measurement uncertainty.
Note 2 to entry: Calibration should not be confused with adjustment of a measuring system, often mistakenly called
“self-calibration”, nor with verification of calibration.
Note 3 to entry: Often, the first step alone in the above definition is perceived as being calibration.
[SOURCE: EN ISO 14532:2017, 2.5.1.1]
3.1.9
calibration gas mixture
CGM
gas mixture whose composition is sufficiently well established and stable to be used as a working

3.1.22
dense phase
CO streams in the single-phase fluid state above a density of 500 kg/m
Note 1 to entry: Dense phase is an engineering term and not a thermodynamic phase (i.e. liquid, gas, solid, and
supercritical).

3.1.33
likelihood
chance of something happening
Note 1 to entry: In risk management (3.1.51) terminology, the word “likelihood” is used to refer to the chance of
something happening, whether defined, measured or determined objectively or subjectively, qualitatively or
quantitatively, and described using general terms or mathematically (such as a probability or a frequency over a
given time period).
Note 2 to entry: The English term “likelihood” does not have a direct equivalent in some languages; instead, the
equivalent of the term “probability” is often used. However, in English, “probability” is often narrowly interpreted
as a mathematical term. Therefore, in risk management terminology, “likelihood” is used with the intent that it
should have the same broad interpretation as the term “probability” has in many languages other than English.

3.1.34
Limit of Detection
LOD
detection limit

b
σ is the standard deviation of the blank measures, and
b
k is a numerical factor chosen according to the confidence level desired.

3.1.35
Limit of Quantification
LOQ
smallest or largest measured quantity value, obtained by a given measurement procedure, which fulfils a
requirement of fitness for purpose
Note 1 to entry: The quantity measured is usually a mass fraction or a concentration but can also be for example, a
mass or an amount of substance.
Note 2 to entry: The requirement can, for example, be a standard deviation under repeatability conditions of
measurement or a measurement uncertainty.
Note 3 to entry: The smallest and largest measured quantity values correspond to the Lower Limit of Quantification
(LLOQ) and the Upper Limit of Quantification (ULOQ), respectively. The interval between the LLOQ and ULOQ is the
working interval (3.1.74).
Note 4 to entry: If the LLOQ is estimated as a multiple of the standard deviation of measured values of a blank
material (3.1.6) (or one spiked with a small aliquot of the component) obtained under repeatability conditions of
measurement, it is important to document the multiplication factor, which may be 5, 6, or 10, applied so that
different values stated for the LLOQ can be compared.

verification
provision of objective evidence that a given item fulfils specified requirements
EXAMPLE Confirmation that performance properties or legal requirements of a measuring system are
achieved.
Note 1 to entry: When applicable, measurement uncertainty should be taken into consideration.
Note 2 to entry: The item can be e.g. a process, measurement procedure, material, compound, or measuring system.
