Before Schedule 1 insert—
“SCHEDULE A1
Content of RHI emission certificates
Regulation 5A(3)
1. The name and address of the testing laboratory by which tests have been carried out.
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.
4. Where the testing laboratory is accredited to ISO 17025—
(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. In respect of plants with an installation capacity of 500 kWth or less, where BS EN 303-5: 1999 or BS EN 303-5: 2012 applies to that plant, confirmation that the test was carried out in accordance with whichever standard is current at the time of testing.
8. In respect of plants with an installation capacity of 500 kWth or less to which neither of the standards in paragraph 7 applies, and all plants with an installation capacity exceeding 500 kWth, confirmation that—
(a) the emissions of PM represent the average of at least three measurements of emissions of PM, each of at least 30 minutes duration; and
(b) that the value for NOx emissions is derived from the mean of measurements made throughout the PM emission tests.
9. Confirmation that testing was carried out in accordance with—
(a) BS EN 14792:2005 in respect of NOx; and
(b) BS EN 13284-1:2002 or BS ISO 9096:2003 in respect of PM.

11. Confirmation that when tested as specified in with 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.
14. The moisture content of the fuel used during testing and the maximum moisture content which can be used so as to ensure that the emission limits referred to in paragraph 11 are not exceeded.
15. A statement indicating whether or not the plant tested was a manually stoked natural draught plant.
16. A list of plants, other than the plant tested, in the type-testing range of plants to which the certificate applies, if any.”.
