CEN standards

Since 2007 TerraData is a member of the UNI (Ente Nazionale Italiano di Unificazione) and partecipates in the activities of the Environmental Commitee within WG 1 (Environmental Management Systems), WG 4 (Air Quality) and WG 6 (Environmental Impact). TerraData members represent UNI within the WG 31/TC 264 of the CEN (European Standardization Center) dealing with “Biomonitoring methods with mosses and lichens”.

So far we collaborated on the drafting of two European standards:

• EN 16413 Ambient air - Biomonitoring with lichens - Assessing epiphytic lichen diversity.
• EN 16414 Ambient air - Biomonitoring with mosses - Accumulation of atmospheric contaminants in mosses collected in situ: from the collection to the preparation of samples.
