Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

HALlime,standard=ARITHMETIC MEAN785×mCaO,k+1092×mMgO,k751,7×HALlime,uncorrected,k
whereby:
HALlime,standard historical activity level for lime production expressed in tons of standard pure lime
mCaO,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.
mMgO,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.
HALlime,uncorrected,k uncorrected historical activity level for lime production in year k of the baseline period expressed in tonnes of lime
