Standards and Methods for Environmental monitoring in the UK

摘要

Each year in the Annual Guide, we highlight what has taken place in the world of standards development. Standard reference methods are essential for the effective measurement and control of air pollution. Such standards are developed at National, European and worldwide 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.
