Procedure descriptions
Immission control - Submit measurement report on individual measurements of air pollutants in large combustion plants, gas turbines and internal combustion engines in accordance with 13. BImSchV
If you are the operator of a large combustion plant, gas turbine or internal combustion engine plant, you must have the pollutant emissions checked at regular intervals by means of individual measurements.
You must have the measurements carried out by a notified body (measuring centre) in accordance with § 29b of the Federal Immission Control Act (BImSchG). You must draw up a measurement report on the results and submit it to the immission control authority responsible for you.

Responsible authority
In most cases, the competent authority for installations that fall under the 13th BImSchV is Department 5, Environment, of the locally responsible regional council. In individual cases, a different responsibility may exist.
According to the Immission Control Competence Ordinance (ImSchZuVo) of the state of Baden-Württemberg, the following applies:
Departments 5, Environment of the respective locally responsible regional councils are the responsible immission control authorities for company premises on which
- at least one installation that is labelled with the letter E in column d of Annex 1 of the Ordinance on Installations Requiring a Permit,
- at least one operating area in accordance with Section 3 (5a) of the Federal Immission Control Act (hazardous incident operation),
- at least one installation that requires a licence pursuant to Section 60 (3) sentence 1 no. 2 or no. 3 of the Federal Water Act, or
- at least one landfill in accordance with Article 10 in conjunction with Annex I of Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2010 on industrial emissions (integrated pollution prevention and control), as amended
exists or is to be constructed.
Department 9, State Office for Geology, Raw Materials and Mining of the Freiburg Regional Council is also the state-wide competent immission control authority for
- Operational sites, including the facilities and activities located on them, which are subject to mining supervision,
- Operating sites with cable cars and funicular railways used for passenger transport,
- Operating sites with high-pressure gas pipelines which, as energy installations within the meaning of the Energy Industry Act, serve to supply gas and which are designed for a maximum permissible operating pressure of more than 16 bar,
- Underground waste disposal facilities and
- Operating sites with facilities that serve the construction, significant expansion and significant modification of underground cavities.
The locally competent lower immission control authority (district or city administration) is the competent authority for all other industrial sites that do not fall under the regulations described above.

Prerequisite
- You are the operator of a large combustion plant, gas turbine or internal combustion engine plant.
- Periodic measurements (individual measurements) must be carried out on your system in accordance with the requirements of the 13th BImSchV (e.g. after commissioning, after significant changes, repeat measurements).
Procedure
- You contact a notified body (measuring centre) in accordance with Section 29b BImSchG.
- The exact measurement planning (measurement date, air pollutants to be measured, operating conditions of the installation to be taken into account) must be agreed between you, the measuring centre and the responsible immission control authority.
- The measuring centre determines the emission values on the measurement date.
- Once the measurement has been completed, you will receive a measurement report from the measuring centre, which must be submitted to the responsible pollution control authority.
Deadlines
If you have newly commissioned or significantly modified your system, you must have the measurements carried out for the first time after 3 months at the earliest and after 6 months at the latest. Subsequently, the measurements must be carried out at least every 3 years after the last measurement.
The measurement report must be submitted to the responsible immission control authority within 12 weeks of the measurement together with all documents.
Required documents
Complete measurement report in accordance with Annex A of Guideline VDI 4220 Sheet 2 (November 2018 edition) with information on, among other things
- Measurement results,
- measurement methods used,
