Name Reporting of information on the assessment methods (Articles 8 and 9)
Primary actor National AQ data reporter
Goal The need to reduce pollution to levels which minimise harmful effects on human health, paying
particular attention to sensitive populations, and the environment as a whole, to improve the
monitoring and assessment of air quality including the deposition of pollutants and to provide
information to the public.

consideration
Importance High
Description Provision of metadata for the assessment, describing the methods and the supporting
Preconditions
Postcondition
information.
Meta information for operational measurement networks including quality
procedures in national air quality system
Meta information for models including quality procedures in national air quality
system
The assessment methods (metadata for networks, stations, instruments, analytical methods for
measurements and metadata for models) for the primary data are available in order to provide
traceability for subsequently reported primary data
Flow of events – Basic path
Step 1 Transform meta information inventories relating to primary data from national air quality
system into agreed reporting format
Step 2 Carry out post transformation quality checks on data in agreed reporting format
Step 3 Make data in agreed reporting format available (upload to CDR).
Step 4 Receive results of post delivery quality checks (carried out in CDR)
Step 5 If results are negative, make required changes in national system.
