Electric utility units covered under the Acid Rain Regulations are required by the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 to install and operate continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS). To ensure efficient, objective, and consistent evaluation of the results of certification tests performed on the Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEMS) required under the Acid Rain Program, EPA has developed the Certification Review System (C{_}REV), a sophisticated calculation tool for screening and analyzing the test data. This paper describes the components of C{_}REV and how they fit into the process of reaching a certification determination. The paper discusses the types of data entry errors that C{_}REV identifies and discusses ways that sources can prevent fatal errors that would otherwise require time-consuming correction and re-submission. The four test analysis operations performed by C{_}REV are presented and the resulting outputs are described.
