Asegurar la calidad en mediciones de calidad de aire – Metrología química para emisiones vehiculares

Created: 2025 Category: Development of Quality Infrastructure systems and services, Quality Infrastructure in specific regions
Stakeholders: General public, Policy makers, QI experts, Scientists and technicians, Sector organisations, Sector stakeholders Thematic focus: Calibration, Certification, Climate/Energy, Environment/ Natural Resources, Environmental Policy and -Administration, Latin America and the Caribbean, Metrology, Technical Regulations, Testing

The transport sector is a major source of carbon dioxide emissions, an air pollutant that increases the greenhouse effect and thus global warming. The leaflet describes the effort undertaken by metrology institutes in Latin America for the development of measurement capabilities to underpin the verification activities of government authorities with the final aim to mitigate climate change.

Desarrollo del programa de acreditación para organismos de validación y verificación de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI)

Created: 2025 Category: Development of Quality Infrastructure systems and services, Quality Infrastructure in specific regions
Stakeholders: General public, Policy makers, QI experts, QI systems, SMEs, Scientists and technicians, Sector organisations, Sector stakeholders Thematic focus: Accreditation, Climate/Energy, Latin America and the Caribbean

In order to face climate change and its consequences, it is of great relevance for industries and productive organisations to have reliable measurements in parameters that have to do with environmental management parameters, especially greenhouse gases (GHGs). The leaflet describes the output of an initiative that aims to ensure the competence of validating or verifying bodies for GHG emission measurements by companies and industries.

MRC gaseosos como punto de inicio para desarrollar una Infraestructura de la Calidad para mediciones trazables de Gases de Efecto Invernadero (GEI) en soporte de sus estrategias de Medición, Reporte y Verificación (MRV)

Created: 2025 Category: Development of Quality Infrastructure systems and services, Quality Infrastructure in specific regions
Stakeholders: General public, Policy makers, QI experts, QI systems, Scientists and technicians, Sector organisations, Sector stakeholders Thematic focus: Calibration, Certification, Climate/Energy, Latin America and the Caribbean, Metrology

In order to have reliable greenhouse gas (GHG) measurements in reports and verifications aimed at protecting biodiversity and curbing climate change, the development of reliable measurements of greenhouse gases (GHGs) is required. The development of reliable and traceable measurements based on the use of reference standards, such as certified reference materials (CRMs) is needed.
