Standards and Methods for Environmental monitoring in the UK
Selection of standards for emission monitoring S
tandard reference methods are essential for the effective measurement and control of air pollution. Such standards are developed at National, European and world-wide level. The
robustness and fitness for purpose of these standards is a function of the accumulated expertise and experience of the people who work together in committee to produce them. Where internationally-derived standards are binding on the UK, as European (CEN) standards are, it is particularly important that they should recognise UK interests and sensitivities. BSI manages the UK input to new standards via its technical committees

and the UK experts that they nominate to CEN and ISO working groups. CEN standards are mandatory and must be adopted by member states of the European Union. If a conflicting standard is in existence then this must be withdrawn.
ISO standards are accepted on a case by case principle, it is not
mandatory for a member country to adopt a standard. BSI technical committee EH/2 is responsible for air quality issues. The sub group EH/2/1 is specifically charged with stationary source emission measurement standardisation. BSI EH2/1 nominates experts
to the technical committees of CEN/TC 264 (Air Quality) and ISO TC 146 (Air Quality). BSI EH2/1 also oversees a portfolio of existing BSI, CEN and ISO standards to ensure that they are regularly reviewed for technical relevance and continued suitability for purpose. In order that existing and developing standards reflect the full range of UK interests, it is imperative that BSI EH2/1, like other BSI committees, reflects the widest possible range of users.
Standards that are currently under development by CEN and ISO are listed in the following tables.
