EPR Compliance Monitoring

The Environment Agency has introduced legislation to regulate industry called the Environmental Permitting (EPR) regulations. Industry will also be encouraged to use instrumentation which has been certified to the MCERTS standard. The MCERTS certification scheme was introduced to formally evaluate the performance of instrumentation used to monitor discharges from industry thus ensuring that the data generated by these devices is reliable.

The MCERTS certification allows the end user to select instruments that have been evaluated in a laboratory to determine key performance criteria and also in the field to demonstrate the suitability for the intended application. The MCERTS approval is only then granted following a company audit to evaluate the robustness of the manufacturing processes to ensure that the instrumentation is manufactured to a reproducible standard.

Pollution & Process Monitoring has been awarded the MCERTS approval for the Protoc 300 TOC analyser which is extensively installed through out industry to continuously monitor effluent discharge.
