The National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) must expand the National Air Quality Monitoring Network with continuous measurements of ultrafine particles (UFP). The new EU Air Quality Directive requires that UFP measurements be carried out with instruments that comply with the (provisional) technical standard FprEN16976:2024. RIVM owns three outdated Condensation Particle Counters (CPCs) that do not meet this standard. The contract concerns the supply of new, FprEN16976:2024-compliant UFP instruments for multiple measurement locations, ensuring the network complies with the new requirements both technically and legislatively.

01What is being requested

The National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) must expand the National Air Quality Monitoring Network with continuous measurements of ultrafine particles (UFP). The new EU Air Quality Directive requires that UFP measurements be carried out with instruments that comply with the (provisional) technical standard FprEN16976:2024.

The contract concerns the supply of new, FprEN16976:2024-compliant UFP instruments for multiple measurement locations, ensuring the network complies with the new requirements both technically and legislatively.

The Ministry of IenW has requested that RIVM extends the National Air Quality Monitoring Network (Landelijk Meetnet Luchtkwaliteit, LML) with continuous measurements of UFP concentrations. In addition, it turns out that the upcoming new EU Air Quality Directive will contain an obligation to monitor UFP with instruments that comply with the (proposed) technical standard FprEN16976:2024. RIVM currently owns three Condensation Particle Counters (CPCs) that can measure UFP concentrations, but these are relatively old and do not comply with FprEN16976:2024. Therefore, new instruments are needed to
