European foreword
This document (EN 15267-1:2023) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 264 “Air quality”,
the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by January 2024, and conflicting national standards shall
be withdrawn at the latest by January 2024.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 15267-1:2009.
The main changes with respect to the previous edition are listed below:
a) The title of the revised EN 15267 series has been clarified to avoid the impression that all parts deal
with the certification of automated measuring systems. The title has been generalized so that
specifically Part 1 and Part 2 are also applicable to other air quality monitoring equipment.
b) The title of revised EN 15267-1 has been clarified to make it clear that only Part 1 deals with the basic
principles of the certification of air quality monitoring equipment.
c) The revised EN15267-1 is based on EN ISO/IEC 17065:2012 and is identically structured. It provides
guidance on the application of EN ISO/IEC 17065:2012 to the certification of AQME for monitoring
ambient air quality and emissions from stationary sources. It supplements EN ISO/IEC 17065:2012
by providing clarification and additional information. However, it does not re-state all the provisions
of EN ISO/IEC 17065:2012 and users are reminded of the need to comply with all of the relevant
criteria detailed in EN ISO/IEC 17065:2012.
d) The basic contents of EN 15267-1:2009 were largely adopted, updated and inserted into the
structure of EN ISO/IEC 17065:2012.
e) The term “competent body” has been deleted and replaced throughout the text by the term
“certification body”.
This document is Part 1 of a series of European Standards:
— EN 15267-1, Air quality — Assessment of air quality monitoring equipment — Part 1: General
principles of certification
— EN 15267-2, Air quality — Assessment of air quality monitoring equipment — Part 2: Initial assessment
of the manufacturer’s quality management system and post certification surveillance for the
manufacturing process
— EN 15267-3, Air quality — Assessment of air quality monitoring equipment — Part 3: Performance
criteria and test procedures for stationary automated measuring systems for continuous monitoring of
emissions from stationary sources
— EN 15267-4, Air quality — Assessment of air quality monitoring equipment — Part 4: Performance
criteria and test procedures for portable automated measuring systems for periodic measurements of
emissions from stationary sources
Any feedback and questions on this document should be directed to the users’ national standards body.

According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia,
Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland,
Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of North
Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Türkiye and the United
Kingdom.
Introduction
The assessment of air quality monitoring equipment (AQME) supports the requirements of certain
Directives of the European Union (EU), which require, either directly or indirectly, that this equipment
complies with performance criteria, maximum permissible measurement uncertainties and test
requirements. These Directives include the Directive 2010/75/EU on industrial emissions (IED),
Directive (EU) 2015/2193 on medium combustion plants and the Directive 2008/50/EC on ambient air
quality and cleaner air for Europe. This document can also be applied e.g. in the context of other national
legislation.
The assessment of AQME consists of the following sequential stages:
a) performance test;
b) initial assessment of the manufacturer’s quality management system (QMS);
c) certification;
d) surveillance for the manufacturing process.
This document is based on EN ISO/IEC 17065 and supplements the requirements of EN ISO/IEC 17065
for the certification of AQME to facilitate mutual recognition and thereby minimize administrative and
cost burdens on manufacturers seeking certification in multiple member states. It also describes the roles
and responsibilities of manufacturers, testing laboratories and certification bodies.
EN ISO/IEC 17065 specifies general criteria that a certification body operating product certification shall
follow if it is to be recognized at a national or European level as competent and reliable in the operation
of a product certification system, irrespective of the sector involved. It is intended for the use of
accreditation bodies concerned with recognizing the competence of certification bodies.
EN ISO/IEC 17065 recognizes that these general criteria may have to be supplemented when applied to
a particular sector. This document provides guidance on the application of EN ISO/IEC 17065 to the
certification of AQME for monitoring ambient air quality and emissions from stationary sources. This
document supplements EN ISO/IEC 17065 by providing clarification and additional information.
However, it does not re-state all the provisions of EN ISO/IEC 17065 and users are reminded of the need
to comply with all of the relevant criteria detailed in EN ISO/IEC 17065.
Assessment and the included certification of AQME form the basis for the legal approval of this
equipment. However, this document does not define the process for the legal approval of AQME. The
responsibility for approving automated measuring systems (AMS) for monitoring ambient air quality
under Directive 2008/50/EC lies with the national competent authority or a body designated by the EU
member state. No explicit requirement for approving automated measuring systems (AMS) and data
acquisition and handling systems (DAHS) for monitoring emissions from stationary sources is defined in
the relevant EU Directives, although the competent authorities in some EU member states have such
arrangements in place. Additionally, the IED and its implementing measures (BAT Conclusions Decision
Documents) prescribe the use of European Standards for monitoring, whilst approval schemes are a
means for both suppliers and users of AQME to demonstrate compliance with the requirement of
applicable European Standards.
In some EU member states the competent authority delegates the responsibility for approval of AQME to
a certification body accredited to EN ISO/IEC 17065 by national accreditation bodies.
1 Scope
This document applies to the certification of AQME for ambient air quality and emissions from stationary
sources for which performance criteria and test procedures are available in European Standards.
This document elaborates and supplements the requirements of EN ISO/IEC 17065 for bodies certifying
AQME. It specifies requirements on testing laboratories as well as the manufacturer’s quality
management system (QMS) and the surveillance for the manufacturing process as part of the certification
process.
This document applies only in combination with EN ISO/IEC 17065.
