Bibliography

The Report is to provide guidance on uncertainty evaluation to CEN/TC 264 Working Group(s), who are involved in the preparation of Reference Methods to measure ambient air quality, as required by the EU Daughter Directives of the European Framework Directive on Ambient Air-quality Assessment and Management (96/62/EC)
