The National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) has a tender for ultrafine particle (UFP) monitoring equipment. The Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management has requested RIVM to expand the national air quality monitoring network with continuous UFP measurements. New measuring instruments must comply with the (provisional) technical standard FprEN16976:2024, which is required for the upcoming EU Air Quality Directive. RIVM currently possesses three outdated condensation particle counters (CPC) that do not comply with the standard. The contract concerns the supply of new CPCs or comparable measuring instruments for multiple sites, including installation, calibration, data integration, and maintenance. The tender follows an open procedure and focuses on suppliers with expertise in air quality monitoring and instrumentation.

The tender follows an open procedure and focuses on suppliers with expertise in air quality monitoring and instrumentation.

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
