Division 5.3 Tiers for conversion / oxidation factors

If the process material contains combustible carbon, the operator shall apply an oxidation factor. For this purpose the tiers defined in section 2.3 of this Annex shall be used.

In all other cases the operator shall apply a conversion factor. For this purpose the following tier definitions shall apply:

Tier 1: A conversion factor of 1 shall be used.

Tier 2: Carbon leaving the process shall be considered by means of a conversion factor with a value between 0 and 1. The operator may assume complete conversion for one or several inputs and attribute unconverted materials or other carbon to the remaining inputs. The additional determination of relevant chemical parameters of the products shall be carried out in accordance with Articles 32 to 35.
