M/612 - Ambient Air Modelling
Ambient Air - Modelling quality objectives
Mandate M/612 requests the development of European standards focused on establishing quality objectives for ambient air modelling. These standards aim to ensure consistency, reliability, and accuracy in the methods and tools used for modelling ambient air quality across the EU. The objective is to support environmental monitoring, assessment, and policy-making by providing harmonised criteria and guidelines that enhance the comparability of air quality data and modelling results, thereby contributing to improved air quality management and protection of public health and the environment.
Purpose
The mandate M/612 on "Ambient Air - Modelling quality objectives" aims to establish standardized quality objectives for ambient air modelling. This is intended to ensure consistency, reliability, and comparability of air quality models used within the European Union for monitoring and managing ambient air pollution.
Standardisation request
The mandate requests the development of European standards that define quality criteria and objectives for modelling ambient air. These standards should address the methodologies, data requirements, validation processes, and performance indicators necessary to achieve accurate and credible air quality modelling outcomes.
Expected deliverables
The deliverables under this mandate are likely to include:
- A set of harmonized standards specifying quality objectives for ambient air modelling.
- Guidelines and protocols for model selection, implementation, and validation.
- Criteria for data quality and model evaluation procedures to ensure reliability.
- Recommendations for improving model transparency and reproducibility in air quality assessments.
Context
Ambient air quality modelling is a critical tool for environmental policy, regulatory compliance, and public health protection in the EU. Standardising quality objectives helps align modelling practices across Member States, supports the implementation of EU air quality directives, and promotes the effective use of models in assessing pollutant dispersion and exposure risks. This mandate reflects the EU’s commitment to ensuring high-quality environmental data and science-based decision-making.
This mandate covers the standardisation of ambient air quality modelling. It focuses on establishing quality objectives for modelling techniques used to assess and predict ambient air pollution levels. The work targets environmental monitoring and management sectors related to air quality, supporting regulatory frameworks and decision-making processes for air quality assessment across the EU.

Frequently Asked Questions
A European Standardization Mandate is a formal request from the European Commission to the European Standardization Organizations (CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI) to develop European standards (ENs) in support of EU legislation and policies. Mandates are issued under Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 and help ensure that products and services meet the essential requirements set out in EU directives and regulations.
M/612 is a European Standardization Mandate titled "Ambient Air - Modelling quality objectives". Ambient Air - Modelling quality objectives There are 0 standards developed under this mandate.
Standards developed in response to a mandate and cited in the Official Journal of the European Union become "harmonized standards". Products manufactured in compliance with harmonized standards benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the corresponding EU directive or regulation, facilitating CE marking and market access across the European Economic Area.
