Therefore, the instruments to be procured will have to be showing that they can operate in the UK pollution climate to the current 30ug/m3 pseudo daily limit value, and the procurement specification may seek to test performance at a lower daily limit value. If you have an instrument that has or will soon have MCERTS for UK particulate Matter for PM2.5 please get in touch with Defra Group Commercial around opportunities for co-locating instruments against reference methods in the UK prior to the possible opportunity in Spring 2023.
