NPI Industry reporting
The purpose of all Emission Estimation Techniques (EET) Manuals in this series is to assist Australian manufacturing, industrial, and service facilities to report emissions of listed substances to the National Pollutant Inventory (NPI). This Manual describes the procedures and recommended approaches for estimating emissions from facilities engaged in ferrous foundry activities. The steel and iron industries covered by this Handbook include facilities primarily engaged in iron and steel casting, forging, and machining including the manufacture of cast iron or steel pipes or tubes, cast iron or steel pipe or tube fittings, or steam, gas, or water fittings of cast iron or steel. The Handbook also covers facilities mainly engaged in manufacturing seamless or welded steel pipes or tubes or ferrous metal pipe or tube fittings.

Estimates of emissions of NPI-listed substances to air, water and land should be reported for each substance that triggers a threshold. The reporting list and detailed information on thresholds are contained in the NPI Guide at the front of this Industry Handbook. In general, there are four types of emission estimation technique (EET) that may be used to estimate emissions from a facility.
The four types described in the NPI Guide are:
