The test entails:

1. Suitability Tested

   The equipment for emission and ambient air measurement and data acquisition and handling systems were tested for fulfilment of the European minimum standards. The test report was accepted by the Federal Committee for Environmental Control (LAI) and the equipment is published in the Federal Gazette (Bundesanzeiger) as being "suitability tested". This equipment - as announced - can therefore be used for official measurement tasks.

   

2. EN 15267

   The equipment for emission and ambient air measurement and data acquisition and handling systems were tested for fulfillment of the European minimum requirements according to EN 15267 and other relevant standards. EN 15267 - Certification of automated measuring systems Part 1: “General principles” Part 2: “Initial assessment of the AMS manufacturer´s quality management system and post certification surveillance for the manufacturing process” Part 3: “Performance criteria and test procedures for automated measuring systems for monitoring emissions from stationary sources” or other relevant standards for the respective ones measuring and data acquisition systems.

3. QAL1 Certified

   Manufacturers of emission and immission measurement devices, long-term sampling systems, and emissions data recording systems can bear this test mark when their devices have passed first inspection as well as annual inspections of production and quality management. Additionally, official approval has been issued via the German Environmental Office (UBA) or the English MCerts.

   

4. Regular Surveillance

   According to the applicable criteria catalog, TUV Rheinland performs regular surveillance audits to ensure the statement of certification is still valid and up-to-date.
