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 ceramics, brick and clay product manufacturing. The bricks, ceramics, and clay product manufacturing activities covered in this Manual apply to facilities engaged in the production of bricks, and clay related brick products (eg. clay pipe, pottery, and some refractory bricks), ceramic products (eg. tiles and stoneware), earthenware, ceramic, terracotta and clay tiles, vitreous china, and ceramic and porcelain products.

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:
