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. Complying with 2008/50/EC
