22  Baseline measurement period
 (1) For each implementation, the project proponent must choose a measurement period (a baseline measurement period) for the purposes of developing the baseline emissions model for the implementation.
 (2) The baseline measurement period chosen must be a period that:
 (a) accounts for the typical range of operating conditions for the equipment within the original boundary for the implementation; and
 (b) reasonably represents operating conditions for the equipment where, having undertaken the implementation, it is likely that the emissions produced by equipment within the upgraded boundary for the implementation would increase.
Note: If the equipment produces different levels of emissions in different seasons, the baseline measurement period chosen must cover all relevant seasons.
 (3) The baseline measurement period chosen must, wherever possible, be a continuous period.
 (4) The project proponent must choose a start date and time and an end date and time for the baseline measurement period.
 (5) The start date for the baseline measurement period must be no earlier than 36 months before the date the implementation commences.
 (6) The end date for the baseline measurement period must be before the date the implementation commences.
