CoGDEM's member companies supply Flue Gas Analysers that comply with EN 50379 and are to be used for domestic heating applications in compliance with the relevant parts of BS 7967. Part 2 of BS 7967 specifies that the analyser must have a current proof of calibration and be maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. These instructions require annual calibration which must be performed by an approved service centre.

Some manufacturers have designed their apparatus to be capable of accepting pre-calibrated sensor modules. Such modules are not supplied to end users, only to approved service centres who carry out maintenance, repair and annual calibration activities. Therefore, we do not see any possibility of an end user fitiing such a pre-calibrated sensor module himself and then assuming that there is no need for a calibration activity to take place annually. These modules are actually intended for apparatus being used for industrial emissions monitoring, not domestic appliance checking.

If a service centre fits such a replacement sensor module, a fresh calibration certificate for the instrument can only be issued if the service centre itself has performed the calibration after the sensor has been replaced.

If users have fitted sensors themselves, they must ensure an authorised service centre has issued a fresh calibration certificate to ensure compliance with Part 2 of BS 7967.
