Notified measuring station pursuant to Section 29b of the Federal Immission Control Act (BImSchG)

A notified measuring station pursuant to Section 29b of the Federal Immission Control Act (BImSchG) is a testing organisation that carries out measurements of emissions and immissions at or within the impact area of installations. These measuring stations form part of an official monitoring and reporting system designed to monitor air quality and other environmental factors. They are designated by the relevant state authorities and must meet certain standards to ensure that the data is reliable and comparable. The results of the measurements are usually published and serve as a source of information for the public and the authorities to assess environmental quality.
