MCERTS the 10th anniversary The first Environment Agency MCERTS scheme was introduced ten years ago. The first scheme covered the certification of continuous emission monitoring systems and was launched in March 1998. Ten years later, the scheme boasts more than 100 certified systems
he MCERTS standard covers extractive stack emission monitoring T instruments and cross-stack or in situ monitoring instruments and focused initially on large combustion plant, incinerators and processes using solvents. The first certificates were issued in 1999 for systems supplied by a number of UK manufacturers. The STA has worked closely with the Environment Agency to develop MCERTS and now provides technical support on behalf of SIRA, the MCERTS scheme operator. MCERTS has become a mandatory requirement in recent PPC permits issued to process operators. The scheme benefits include: ■ MCERTS delivers a certification scheme that is both accepted and formally recognised within the UK and internationally ■ It provides assurance to regulatory authorities that equipment and services approved to MCERTS standards are suitable, and capable of producing results of the required quality and reliability ■ It gives users of monitoring equipment confidence that equipment approved by MCERTS is robust and conforms to performance standards related to current international standards ■ It supports the delivery of accurate and reliable data to regulators and the public ■ It provides a framework whereby further monitoring instrumentation and other aspects of compliance monitoring can be formally certified ■ It meets the growing requirements of EU Directives, which increasingly specify that monitoring systems must meet minimum performance requirements here in the UK.
