Foreword
This document (EN 15267-1:2009) 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 September 2009, and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by September 2009.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent

According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech

Introduction
The certification of automated measuring systems (AMS) supports the requirements of certain Directives of
the European Union (EU), which require, either directly or indirectly, that AMS comply with performance
criteria, maximum permissible measurement uncertainties and testing requirements. These Directives include
the Directive on the limitation of emissions of certain pollutants into the air from large combustion plants [1],
the Directive on the incineration of waste [2] and the Framework Directive on ambient air quality assessment
and management [3] and the associated daughter directives [4], [5], [6] and [7].
The responsibility for approving AMS for monitoring ambient air quality under Directive 96/62/EC lies with the
national competent authority or a body designated by the EU member state. No explicit requirement for
approving AMS 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.
In some EU member states the competent authority delegates the responsibility for approval of AMS to a
certification body accredited to EN 45011 by national accreditation bodies. In some EU member states the
competent authority cannot be accredited by external bodies, in others they may be. These approaches have
built up over many years and reflect the different administrative and legal arrangements that exist in the EU
member states. In order to recognize these different approaches, this European Standard uses the collective
term “relevant body” when referring to competent authority or certification body. The terms “competent
authority” and “certification body” are only used where it is necessary to be specific for the purpose of clarity in
the way in which a requirement applies under the different approaches.
The European Standard EN 45011 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 45011 is identical
to ISO/IEC Guide 65. The document EA-6/01 [8] published by the International Accreditation Forum (IAF)
provides guidelines on the application of EN 45011. The purpose of EA-6/01 is to harmonise the worldwide
application of EN 45011 by accreditation bodies as an important step towards mutual recognition between
certification bodies under the IAF Multilateral Agreement (MLA).
EN 45011 recognizes that these general criteria may have to be supplemented when applied to a particular
sector. This European Standard provides guidance on the application of EN 45011 to the certification of AMS
for monitoring ambient air quality and emissions from stationary sources. It is Part 1 of a three part series of
European Standards, which specify common requirements for the certification of AMS in EU member states.
This European Standard defines common procedures and requirements for the certification of AMS to
facilitate mutual recognition by the relevant bodies and thereby minimise administrative and cost burdens on
AMS manufacturers seeking certification in multiple member states. It also describes the roles and
responsibilities of manufacturers, test laboratories, certification bodies (for quality management systems) and
relevant bodies under these procedures.
1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the general principles, including common procedures and requirements, for
the product certification of automated measuring systems (AMS) for monitoring ambient air quality and
emissions from stationary sources. This product certification consists of the following sequential stages:
a) performance testing of an automated measuring system;
b) initial assessment of the AMS manufacturer’s quality management system;
c) certification;
d) surveillance.
This European Standard applies to the certification of all AMS for monitoring ambient air quality and emissions
from stationary sources for which performance criteria and test procedures are available in European
Standards.
