with an appropriate standard.
Note: An appropriate standard is AS 4264.4—1996 – Coal and coke – sampling – Determination of precision and bias.
 (5) The value obtained from the sample must only be used for the production period for which it was intended to be representative.

4.16  General requirements for analysis of lime
 (1) Analysis of a sample of lime, including determining the fractional purity of the sample, must be done in accordance with industry practice and must be consistent with the principles in section 1.13.
 (2) The minimum frequency of analysis of samples of lime must be in accordance with the Tier 3 method in section 2.2.1.1 of Chapter 2 of Volume 3 of the 2006 IPCC Guidelines.

4.17  Method 3—lime production
 (1) Method 3 is:
Step 1  Measure the amount of emissions of carbon dioxide in CO2‑e tonnes released from each pure carbonate calcined in the production of lime during the year as follows:

        where:
        Eij is the emissions of carbon dioxide (j) released from a carbonate (i) calcined in the production of lime during the year measured in CO2‑e tonnes.
        EFij is the carbon dioxide (j) emission factor for the carbonate (i), measured in tonnes of emissions of carbon dioxide per tonne of pure carbonate as follows:
         (a) for calcium carbonate—0.440;
         (b) for magnesium carbonate—0.522;
         (c) for dolomite—0.477;
         (d) for any other carbonate—the factor for the carbonate in accordance with section 2.1 of Chapter 2 of Volume 3 of the 2006 IPCC Guidelines.
        Qi is the quantity of the pure carbonate (i) entering the calcining process in the production of lime during the year measured in tonnes and estimated under Division 4.2.5.
        Fcal is:
            1.     the amount of the carbonate calcined in the production of lime during the year expressed as a decimal fraction; or
            2.     if the information mentioned in paragraph (a) is not available—the value 1.
        Alkd is the quantity of lime kiln dust lost in the production of lime during the year, measured in tonnes and estimated under Division 4.2.5.
        EFlkd is 0.440, which is the emission factor for calcined lime kiln dust lost from the kiln.
        Flkd is:
         (a) the fraction of calcination achieved for lime kiln dust in the production of lime during the year; or
         (b) if the data in paragraph (a) is not available—the value 1.

        γ is the factor 1.861 × 10‑3 for converting a quantity of carbon dioxide from cubic metres at standard conditions of pressure and temperature to CO2‑e tonnes.
        RCCSCO2 is carbon dioxide captured for permanent storage measured in cubic metres in accordance with Division 1.2.3.
Step 2  Add together the amount of emissions of carbon dioxide for each pure carbonate calcined in the production of
