Mcerts Certification Presentation

MCERTS promotes public confidence in monitoring data and provides industry with a proven framework for choosing monitoring systems and services that meet the Environment Agency's performance requirements.

The Sira sponsored WWEM Gala Dinner included the presentation of MCERTS certificates to companies that have successfully completed the product assessment procedures that are outlined within the various MCERTS schemes.
The MCERTS schemes are operated on behalf of the Environment Agency by Sira Environmental; who are independent of all the interested groups, such as the instrument manufacturers, test laboratories and end-users. The United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) accredits Sira to undertake the product certification activities which underpin MCERTS.
Before announcing the awards, Sira Director Steve Lower said, “Two years ago, at WWEM 2006, MCERTS for water was in its embryonic stage, but since that time the scheme has made excellent progress and I am now pleased to announce that we have over 26 certificates on the MCERTS web site covering a wide range of 84 water related products.
"It is one thing manufacturers claiming to be the world leaders in levels of accuracy but quite another to be able to provide independent evidence to support the claim.
"MCERTS promotes public confidence in monitoring data and provides industry with a proven framework for choosing monitoring systems and services that meet the Environment Agency's performance requirements.
"I would like to take this opportunity to offer my warmest congratulations to those instrument manufacturers that have made the commitment and I hope that they will all now reap the commercial benefits that certification makes possible."

Jon Shepherd accepted the MCERTS certificate on behalf of HACHLANGE for the company’s BÜHLER 1000 automatic water sampler.Following the presentation, Jon said, “We are delighted to receive thiscertificate because it extends the broad range of samplers that we now offer with MCERTS.
“The BÜHLER 1000 sampler is easy to transport and is ideal for use in wastewater treatment plants, industrial applications and for monitoring surface waters. Flexibility, ruggedness and reliability are the key features of this device. Importantly, it can be used to store samples for up to 48 hours at 4 °C without freezing which means that it can be left unattended for long periods."
Following a presentation of the first ever MCERTS certificate for a multiparameter continuous water quality monitor, Darren Hanson from YSI said, “As the first company to receive this certificate we have had to work very closely with the Environment Agency to ensure that the testing procedure is appropriate, robust and reliable. Our equipment performed extremely well in the trials and the report that resulted from them will provide a high level of confidence to prospective customers from all over the world.”
