1.3 MCERTS (applied for)

MCERTS is the UK Environment Agency's Monitoring Certification Plan. The Plan provides
a framework within which environmental measurements can be made in accordance with
the Agency's quality requirements. The scheme covers a range of monitoring, sampling
and inspection activities.
The GEM5000 instrument is MCERTS certified only if:
The MCERTS logo appears on the screen after initial power on.
.
Note: MCERTS - Cross sensitivity tests using hydrogen sulfide were not carried
out on this instrument. Therefore, users should be aware if H
on sites, as there may be an interferential effect.
MCERTS promotes public confidence in monitoring data and provides industry with a
proven framework for choosing monitoring systems and services that meet the
Environment Agency's performance requirements.
The Environment Agency has established its Monitoring Certification Scheme (MCERTS) to
deliver quality environmental measurements. The MCERTS product certification scheme
provides for the certification of products according to Environment Agency performance
standards, based on relevant CEN, ISO and national standards.
MCERTS certified instruments have been tested by an independent body to ensure that
they meet certain performance requirements. In addition the manufacturer of an MCERTS
product is regularly audited to ensure that the performance requirements of the
certification are being continually met.
The 5000 series of gas analyzers have been certified to Version 3.1 of the
'Performance Standards for Portable Emission Monitoring Systems'.
