M/610 - Ambient Air Sensor systems
Ambient Air Sensor systems and data quality objectives
Mandate M/610 addresses the development of standards for ambient air sensor systems and establishes data quality objectives. It aims to guide European Standardisation Organisations (ESOs) in defining requirements for the performance, reliability, and data accuracy of these sensor systems. The mandate supports improved monitoring and assessment of ambient air quality, facilitating consistent and comparable data across member states. This initiative contributes to environmental protection policies by promoting standardized methodologies for air sensor usage and data handling. The decision is formalized through the CEN Board Technical Committee decision CEN/BT C232/2024.
Purpose
The mandate M/610 focuses on the development of standardisation work related to Ambient Air Sensor systems and the establishment of data quality objectives. It aims to support accurate, reliable, and comparable measurements of ambient air quality using sensor technologies.
Standardisation request
This mandate requests CEN to create and harmonise standards for Ambient Air Sensor systems. These standards will likely address technical specifications, performance requirements, and methods to ensure data quality and comparability across sensor platforms.
Expected deliverables
Deliverables under this mandate are expected to include:
- European standards specifying technical and functional requirements for Ambient Air Sensor systems.
- Guidelines or standards defining data quality objectives to evaluate and ensure the reliability, accuracy, and usability of air quality data collected by such sensors.
- Possibly, protocols or procedures for data handling, reporting, and calibration related to ambient air quality sensor outputs.
Context
Air quality monitoring is critical for public health and environmental policy in the EU. The increasing use of sensor-based systems for ambient air monitoring necessitates harmonised standards to ensure data integrity and comparability. This mandate, decided under CEN BT DECISION CEN/BT C232/2024, supports these objectives by directing the standardisation bodies to focus on sensor systems and associated data quality standards, underpinning regulatory and voluntary air quality monitoring efforts.
The standardisation work under this mandate covers ambient air sensor systems and the associated data quality objectives. It focuses on defining requirements and standards for the design, performance, and data management of air quality monitoring sensors used to measure ambient air pollution levels.

Frequently Asked Questions
A European Standardization Mandate is a formal request from the European Commission to the European Standardization Organizations (CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI) to develop European standards (ENs) in support of EU legislation and policies. Mandates are issued under Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 and help ensure that products and services meet the essential requirements set out in EU directives and regulations.
M/610 is a European Standardization Mandate titled "Ambient Air Sensor systems and data quality objectives". Ambient Air Sensor systems and data quality objectives There are 0 standards developed under this mandate.
Standards developed in response to a mandate and cited in the Official Journal of the European Union become "harmonized standards". Products manufactured in compliance with harmonized standards benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the corresponding EU directive or regulation, facilitating CE marking and market access across the European Economic Area.
