1.1 General

This Document specifies the key performance metrics, definitions, and evaluation steps necessary to assess the suitability of methane DMQ technologies for oil and gas applications. It applies to technologies used for detection, localisation, measurement, quantification, and reporting of methane emissions from components, equipment, or facilities. Providing a consistent reference framework for comparison and decision-making across technology types and deployment contexts. This Technical Specification applies to DMQ technology method classes defined by their operational characteristics and deployment platforms, including but not limited to:

a)    Handheld and portable devices;

b)   Emissions monitoring systems (EMS);

c)    Uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs);

d)   Satellite-based remote sensing systems;

e)    Vehicle-mounted or aircraft-based survey systems; and

f)    Parametric systems that utilize operational data to calculate emissions.

The framework addresses quantitative technology performance metrics that can be derived from technology-generated observations in comparison with reference measurements from controlled test facilities or validated field datasets.

It also includes qualitative performance considerations, such as environmental or situational variables, performance envelopes, and deployment factors, as specified by technology manufacturers or DMQ service providers.

This Document was developed with a focus on upstream, midstream, and downstream onshore oil and gas operations in Canada. Any specific limits on the types of infrastructure or emission sources to which this guidance applies will align with those defined in federal and provincial methane regulations (including Alberta, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan).

a)    Definitions and terminology relevant to methane DMQ technologies;

b)   A taxonomy of technology types and deployment contexts;

c)    Core performance metrics and validation parameters;

d)   A suggested evaluation process for technology selection and use case definition; and

e)    Reference materials and data sheet templates to support consistent documentation of results.

1.3 Exclusions

This technical specification does not:

a)    Provide detailed testing protocols for specific technology types or classes;

b)   Compare individual technology brands, models, or manufacturers;

c)    Describe or assess costs, ease of deployment, or training requirements, as such business considerations are beyond the scope of standardization; or

d)   Prescribe or list regulatory requirements, which remain the responsibility of the reader to identify and apply based on the jurisdiction and site type.

1.4 Terminology

In this technical specification, “shall” is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the technical specification; “should” is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and “may” is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the technical specification.

CSA Scope:
[Add the following]
This Standard applies to equipment intended to be installed or used in accordance with CSA C22.1, the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I.

IEC Scope:

This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.

This part of IEC 60335 deals with the safety of portable electric heating tools and similar appliances, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V including direct current (DC) supplied appliances and battery-operated appliances. 

Appliances not intended for normal household use, but which nevertheless can be a source of danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laypersons in shops, in light industry and on farms, are within the scope of this standard.

Appliances that can also be used when mounted on a support are within the scope of this standard. Examples of appliances that are within the scope of this standard are

– branding tools;

– burning-in pens;

– conduit-soldering tools;

– dehorning tools;

– desoldering irons;

– firelighters;

– glue guns;

– heat guns;

– household film-welding appliances;

– paint strippers;

– plastic-cutting tools;

– soldering guns;

– soldering irons;

– stripping pliers;

– thermoplastic conduit-welding tools. 

As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by appliances which are encountered by all persons in and around the home. However, in general, it does not in general take into account– persons (including children) whose

• physical, sensory or mental capabilities; or
• lack of experience and knowledge

prevents them from using the appliance safely without supervision or instruction;

– children playing with the appliance. 
Attention is drawn to the fact that

– for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements can be necessary;

– in many countries additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities, the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour and similar authorities.

This standard does not apply to:

– hand-held motor-operated electric tools (IEC 60745 series, IEC 62841 series);

– transportable motor-operated electric tools (IEC 61029 series, IEC 62841 series);

– appliances intended exclusively for industrial purposes;

– appliances intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the presence of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas);

– tools using high-frequency heating other than induction soldering irons;

– arc-welding equipment.

1 Scope

1.1 This document specifies requirements for the development, validation and routine control of a radiation sterilization process for medical devices.

NOTE Although the scope is limited to medical devices, this document can be applicable to other products and equipment. This document covers radiation processes employing irradiators using:

a) the radionuclide 60Co or 137Cs;

b) a beam from an electron generator; or

c) a beam from an X-ray generator.

1.2 This document is not applicable to processes for inactivating viruses or the causative agents of spongiform encephalopathies, such as scrapie, bovine spongiform encephalopathy and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

NOTE For information on such processes, see ISO 22442-1, ISO 22442-2, ISO 22442-3, ISO 13022 and ICH Q5A.

1.2.1 This document does not specify requirements for designating a medical device as sterile.

NOTE Regional and national requirements can designate medical devices as sterile. See, for example, EN 556-1 or ANSI/AAMI ST67.

1.2.2 This document does not specify a quality management system for the control of all stages of production of medical devices.

NOTE It is not a requirement of this document to have a complete quality management system during manufacture, but the elements of a quality management system that are the minimum necessary to control the sterilization process are normatively referenced at appropriate places in the text (see, in particular, Clause 4). Attention is drawn to the standards for quality management systems (see ISO 13485) that control all stages of production of medical devices, including the sterilization process. Regional and national regulations for the provision of medical devices can require implementation of a complete quality management system and the assessment of that system by a third party.

1.2.3 This document does not require that biological indicators be used for validation or monitoring of radiation sterilization, nor does it require that a pharmacopoeial test for sterility be carried out for product release.

1.2.4 This document does not specify requirements for occupational safety associated with the design and operation of irradiation facilities.

NOTE Regulations on safety requirements for occupational safety related to radiation can exist in some countries.

1.2.5 This document does not specify requirements for the sterilization of used or reprocessed devices.
