Verification of the accuracy of the measurement system for continuous monitoring of pollutant emissions from stationary sources into the air

First option: FREEDOM TO PROVIDE CROSS-BORDER SERVICES

If you are established in EU/EEA country, you have freedom to provide services on temporary and occasional basis, without obligation of establishment in Croatia and without a prior check. The following conditions must be fulfilled, which are the same as for the Freedom to establish option.

• proof of registered activity from the register on establishment in EU member state or evidence of the existence of reciprocity for states outside EU
• list of employees (at least 3) along with evidence of their professional qualifications – electronic employment records or evidence of work experience and diploma
• description of the employee’s work experience and a list of expert tasks in monitoring pollutant emissions from stationary sources into the air in which the employee participated
• excerpt from the land registry or lease contract for the work premises with an excerpt from the land registry of the lessor
• accreditation certificate for monitoring pollutant emissions from stationary sources into the air in line with the Harmonized standards for test and calibration laboratories, along with a list of reference measurement methods in line with the HRN EN 14181 standard for which the permit is being applied.

Second option: FREEDOM TO ESTABLISH

If you are established in EU/EEA country, you as a physical or legal person have freedom to provide services on a permanent basis in Croatia, if you register an establishment in Croatia and submit the following documents, i.e. fulfil the following conditions:

• a legal person established in a Contracting party of the European Economic Area has a registered activity under which it has the permission to carry out tasks of monitoring pollutant emissions from stationary sources into the air inside the state of its official registration
• a legal person established outside the European Union has a registered activity under which it has the permission to carry out tasks of monitoring pollutant emissions from stationary sources into the air inside the state of its official registration as well as evidence of the existence of reciprocity
• A legal person is registered for performing activities of monitoring pollutant emissions from stationary sources into the air (for legal persons based in the Republic of Croatia)
• has at least three employees, at least one of them with a university degree in natural, technical or biotechnical sciences or of such a profession or with a university degree in sanitary engineering, field of biomedicine and health, with at least five years of work experience in tasks of monitoring pollutant emissions from stationary sources into the air
• has the required work premises including a laboratory for performing sample analysis, processing and presentation of measurement results and checking of measuring procedures and data collected through measurement and sampling, apart from those procedures whose very nature requires that they be performed in the open i.e. directly at the point of discharge of the waste gases
• has measuring equipment available for performing activities of monitoring pollutant emissions from stationary sources into the air, in line with the reference measurement methods prescribed by the Ordinance on monitoring pollutant emissions from stationary sources into the
• has been accredited for activities of verification of the accuracy of the measurement system for continuous measurement of pollutant emissions from stationary sources into the air in line with the Harmonized standards for test and calibration laboratories for reference measurement methods prescribed by the Ordinance on monitoring pollutant emissions from stationary sources into the air, and which are in accordance with the HRN EN 14181 standard.

Submit a photo or a scan of the following documents (signed, without a stamp) on pisarnica@mingor.hr:

• proof of registered activity from the register of EU member state, and evidence of the existence of reciprocity for states outside EU

• list of employees (at least 3) along with evidence of their professional qualifications – electronic employment records or evidence of work experience and diploma

• description of the employee’s work experience and a list of expert tasks in monitoring pollutant emissions from stationary sources into the air in which the employee participated

• excerpt from the land registry or lease contract for the work premises with an excerpt from the land registry of the lessor
• accreditation certificate for monitoring pollutant emissions from stationary sources in line with the Harmonized standards for test and calibration laboratories, along with a list of reference measurement methods in accordance with HRN EN 14181 standard for which the permit is being applied.

If EU/EEA nationals do not provide the required documents, a competent authority will check their data via the Internal Market Information System (IMI).
