MCERTS: performance standard for handheld emissions monitoring systems

The Environment Agency set up its Monitoring Certification Scheme (MCERTS) to provide a framework of standards you can use to monitor things that affect the environment.

This guidance is for:

• manufacturers of handheld emissions monitoring systems (HEMS), who need to know what MCERTS standard applies to their equipment
• test laboratories who carry out testing of equipment on behalf of manufacturers to see if it meets the required standard
