of the offer. The empty cells in these tables shall be
completely filled to inform the Commission about the
characteristics of the Equipment.
b. The layout of the Equipment and its features and
working principles shall be described in detail in the
documentation of the offer. This description shall
contain the expected shifts in Equipment performance
and the wear of its components and parts based on the
intended operational life of the Equipment as specified
in 3.3 a. for the performance of the contract.
c. The documents mentioned in a. and b. and the
maintenance calibration plan shall be part of the offer
AND also be part of the Equipment documentation to
be provided under stage 1b.
d. Equipment spare parts and consumables shall be
available for purchase during the expected life of the
performance of the contract
e. If the Equipment is assembled of more than one
analyzer unit, ease of accessibility shall be assured for
each part.
f. Provided with multiple gas sampling of minimum six
gas streams and a sufficient number of gas calibration
lines, including automated switching via the
Equipment’s operation software
g. Prevent water condensation inside the Equipment in
case of analysis of gas mixtures with residual humidity.
h. Automated Equipment calibration.
j. Computerized data acquisition and operation and
processing software (spectrum visualization, search and
libraries, etc) including computer and flat screen
monitor with GPIB (IEEE 488.2) and ETHERNET
communication interface or equivalent supporting the
TCP/IP network protocol and input for external alarm
signals (i.e. gas & fire alarms, panic buttons, etc).
Operation and analysis software (incl. libraries and
Gaussian/Non-Gaussian de-convolution) licenses shall
apply to the entire period of the performance of the
contract including any possible extended warranty.

mentioned in a. to c. shall not exceed 20 minutes on
average during 3 consecutive sampling intervals in one
hour subject to the Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) to
be performed in stage 1a.
3.3 OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS
a. Upon completion of stage 1b, the Equipment shall
operate during the performance of the contract of up to
1,000 hrs per year (corresponding to approximately 8
hours per working day) in performing quantitative and
qualitative analysis.
b. The Equipment shall be operational within 30 minutes
from switch-on.
c. Unattended operation including fail-safe shutdown
d. Ability for Equipment calibration (see 3.1.d). The
Equipment shall have the option of selecting an
automatically calibration performed in intervals
dependent, for example, on number of analyses

performed, elapse of operation hours, analyses value
require so, etc. This information shall be given in the
calibration plan.
e. Handling of gas streams at elevated temperatures (e.g.
up to 180°C) and 1-5 bar pressure.
f. The software shall provide real time multi-tasking
capabilities to support multiple activities concurrently
including programmable measurement and analysis
runs, programmable gas stream selection, spectrum
visualization. The software shall also provide extended
maintenance tools, such as statistical tracking of
analyzer performance, reporting, maintenance logging,
etc.
g. Common data format (i.e. ASCII, Excel, etc) also for
spectrum, libraries and data import and export and
storage.
h. Possibility to use libraries of different origin(s).
3.4 ADVANCED EQUIPMENT PERFORMANCE
