“The Green Book”
The Changes Were Dramatic and Costly to Producers
1) Expiration dating was changed to more closely resemble
the shelf life of the SRMs available.
2) Statistical requirements supporting the accuracy of the
analyses were drastically tightened-Students t Test vs. TOST
(Schuirmann’s two one-sided tests).
3) The regulated community must use EPA Protocol Gases from
PGVP vendors.
4) Protocol Gases in the field may be re-certified to the new
expiration periods.
The AA-PGVP QA requirements in 40 CFR Part 58, Appendix A require:
"2.6 Gaseous and Flow Rate Audit Standards. Gaseous pollutant
concentration standards (permeation devices or cylinders of compressed gas)
used to obtain test concentrations for CO, SO2, NO, and NO2 must be
traceable to either a National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
Traceable Reference Material (NTRM), NIST Standard Reference Materials
(SRM) and Netherlands Measurement Institute (NMi) Primary Reference
Materials (valid as covered by Joint Declaration of Equivalence) or a NIST-
certified Gas Manufacturer's Internal Standard (GMIS), certified in accordance
with one of the procedures given in reference 4 of this appendix. Vendors
advertising certification with the procedures provided in reference 4 of this
appendix and distributing gases as 'EPA Protocol Gas' must participate.
PGVP Ambient Audit
(EPA Region 2 & 7)
"On and after May 27, 2011 for each unit subject to this
part that uses EPA Protocol gases, the owner or operator
must obtain such gases from either an EPA Protocol gas
production site that is on the EPA list of sites
participating in the PGVP on the date the owner or
operator procures such gases or from a reseller that sells
to the owner or operator unaltered EPA Protocol gases
produced by an EPA Protocol gas production site that
was on the EPA list of participating sites on the date the
reseller procured such gases."
