CEN/TC 264 (CEN Technical Committee 264) is a technical decision-making body within the CEN system working on standardization in the field of air quality in the European Union. Its goal is to develop functional standards, and methods for air quality characterisation of emissions, ambient air, indoor air, gases in and from the ground and deposition, in particular measurement methods for air pollutants (for example particles, gases, aerosols, odours, microorganisms), meteorological parameters and methods for determination of the efficiency of gas cleaning systems. Topics excluded from this WG are determination of limit values for air pollutants, workplaces and clean rooms and radioactive substances.
Working groups The Technical Committee 264 comprehends the following active working groups (WG):
WG1: Emissions - Dioxins and PCB WG8: Emissions - Total mercury WG9: Emissions - Quality assurance of AMS WG11: Ambient air - Diffusive samplers WG12: Ambient air - VOCs/SO2/NO2/O3/CO WG13: Ambient air - Ozone precursors and benzene WG15: Ambient air - PM10/PM2,5 WG21: Ambient air - PAHs WG28:Ambient air and emissions - Bioaerosols WG30: Ambient air - Biomonitoring with flowering plants WG32: Ambient air - Particle number concentration WG33: Emissions - GHG in energy-intensive industries WG35: Ambient air - EC/OC WG38: Emissions - Diffuse VOC WG39: Ambient air - Airborne pollen grains and fungal spores WG40: Emissions - Formaldehyde WG41: Emissions and ambient air - Instrumental odour monitoring WG42: Ambient air - Air quality sensors WG43: Ambient air - Modelling quality objectives WG44: Ambient air - Source apportionment WG45: Emissions - Proficiency testing schemes WG46: Task Force Emissions WG47: Emissions - Diffuse emissions from building vents and roof openings WG48: Emissions & Ambient Air - Determination of PFAS
