ABSTRACT It is well known that interlaboratory tests are a powerful tool to improve the quality of measurements. However they are difficult and costly to organise in the framework of emission measurements because of several reasons (too small measuring platforms, access to industrial plants…). In order to facilitate these tests, French authorities asked ...
Some of these secondary standards have been used as part of a proficiency testing programme within the STA. Eighteen participants were involved in a ‘round robin’ exercise measuring three gases (carbon monoxide, nitric oxide and sulphur dioxide) at emission levels. The results of this pilot proficiency testing ...
