CPCB Mandate Overview

Under Section 18(1)(b) of the Water and Air Act, the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has mandated continuous emission monitoring systems across 17 highly polluting industries.

Compliance Requirements

To stay compliant, plants must maintain 95% data availability, perform daily automated blowbacks, run daily zero/span calibration checks, and submit real-time data packages directly to the central servers.

Failure Consequences

Failure to satisfy these criteria triggers automated non-compliance alert emails and potential plant closure notices.

Technical Specifications

This guide reviews calibration cylinder traceability, heated sample line specs, and fallback telemetry configurations.
