Division 2 The product-related historical activity level for the baseline period for products to which the lime product benchmark as referred to in Annex I applies shall be determined according to the following formula:

United Kingdom

{HAL}_{lime,standard} = ARITHMETIC MEAN (\frac{785 \times m_{CaO,k} + 1092 \times m_{MgO,k}}{751,7} \times {HAL}_{lime,uncorrected,k})

whereby:

HAL_{lime,standard}

historical activity level for lime production expressed in tons of standard pure lime

m_CaO,k

content of free CaO in the produced lime in year k of the baseline period expressed as mass-%

In case no data on the content of free CaO is available, a conservative estimate not higher than 85 % shall be applied.

m_MgO,k

content of free MgO in the produced lime in year k of the baseline period expressed as mass-%

In case no data on the content of free MgO is available, a conservative estimate not higher than 0,5 % shall be applied.

HAL_{lime,uncorrected,k}

uncorrected historical activity level for lime production in year k of the baseline period expressed in tonnes of lime
