b) Installation record provisions
i) Flow pattern and stratification test procedure results
c) Certification record provisions
i) CO2 emissions data during the operational test period;
ii) Results from performance specification tests:
iii) Calibration drift test results, if applicable;
iv) System response time test results;
v) Relative accuracy test results;
vi) Bias test results;
vii) Calibration gas test results;
viii) Certificate attesting that the operator has met the certification requirements.
The operator shall record and keep the following information on daily, quarterly, semi-annual and annual performance evaluations for each installed CEM system:
a) Daily performance evaluation record provisions
i) Date and results of 24-hour calibration drift tests.
b) Quarterly performance evaluation record provisions
i) Date and results of cylinder gas tests;
ii) Date and results of stack gas flow tests;

ii) Date and results of bias tests;
iii) Date and results of independent audit; and
iv) Availability.
The operator shall record and keep for each hour the following information on EGU operating time, heat input rates, and loads for each EGU and also for each group of EGUs utilizing a common stack and a CEM system:
a) EGU operating time;
b) Hourly gross EGU load (electrical and/or thermal);
c) Hourly heat input rate.
The operator shall record and keep for each hour of EGU operation the following information for CO2 mass emissions, as measured and reported by the certified primary monitor, certified back-up monitor or other backfilling procedure method of determining emissions:
a) Date and hour;
b) Hourly average wet and/or dry CO2 concentration;
c) Hourly average wet and/or dry O2 concentration, if an oxygen analyzer is used to determine CO2 mass emissions);
d) Hourly average stack gas moisture content, if applicable;
e) Hourly wet oxygen readings, if applicable;
f) Hourly partial water vapour pressure of the stack gases, if applicable;
g) Hourly stack gas absolute pressure, if applicable;
h) Hourly stack gas temperature, if applicable;
i) Hourly ambient air moisture, if applicable;
j) Hourly relative humidity, if applicable;
k) Hourly atmospheric pressure, if applicable;
l) Hourly partial water vapour pressure at ambient air temperature, if applicable;
m) Hourly ambient air temperature, if applicable;
n) Hourly average volumetric flow rate;
In addition to the above hourly records, the operator shall keep the following information:
a) F-factors used for determining CO2 mass emissions;
b) Method of determining hourly average CO2 mass emission rate.
a) the reason for which data was not obtained;
b) the element for which, and the given period during which, data was not obtained, including the hour or day as the case may be, on which that given period begins and ends;
c) the value determined for that element using replacement data, along with details of that determination, including
i) the data used to make that determination for each period;
ii) the method used to obtain that data; and
iii) a justification of the period or periods used as the basis of that determination.
If customized F-factors are used, all data relating to the determination of the customized F-factors must be kept.
If an alternate moisture monitoring system is used, the following information must be kept:
