Monitoring environmental air and industrial processes requires adherence to strict European regulations, standards, and certifications. Ensuring compliance not only guarantees the accuracy and reliability of your measurements but also demonstrates commitment to environmental protection, safety, and quality management. At AAVOS International, we specialize in providing solutions that meet these high standards for process analysis, environmental air monitoring, and SEMS (Safety and Environmental Management Systems).

This EU directive sets standards for ambient air quality, specifying monitoring requirements, pollutant limits, and reporting obligations. Compliance ensures accurate environmental air monitoring across Europe.
Directive (EU) 2024/2881 – Recast Ambient Air Quality Directive
An updated version of the 2008 directive, this legislation introduces stricter limits, broader monitoring requirements, and enhanced reporting mechanisms for industrial emissions and ambient air quality.
IED 2010/75/EU – Industrial Emissions Directive
Regulates emissions from industrial installations, ensuring proper monitoring of processes and emissions, including continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS) and environmental compliance reporting.
EU MCP Directive
Defines requirements for measuring, reporting, and verifying emissions from energy and industrial installations, supporting transparency and compliance with EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) obligations.
