It allows the specification of requirements on the description of the measurement objective, the analysis of available knowledge, the measurement strategy, the measurement technique, the evaluation, the measurement report and the organisation in the framework of measurement planning. The standard form of a measurement plan in the Annex of this standard can be used as a template for the structure and design of measurement plans. This standard is addressed to everyone involved in the planning, performance or evaluation of ambient air quality measurements. The contents of this standard can be used by clients and contractors alike as a reference, for example, for formulating requirements and performance specifications for the investigation of air quality.
