MCERTS Expanded to Environmental Monitoring Data Management Systems

The Monitoring Certification Scheme (MCERTS) was expanded in 2009 to incorporate Environmental Monitoring Data Management Systems. It is unique, in that its rigorous requirements ensure that product development meets high standards.

The standard covers the following: As in ISO9001 procedures must be in place to ensure quality throughout product development and provision; Software development and testing must be to established professional standards; Functionality is audited to ensure it is appropriate for its’ intended application; Security and auditability must be ensured; Safeguards must be implemented for code availability in the event of the provider being unable to support the product.

Adopting an MCERTS certified system therefore gives both operators regulators confidence that data is managed professionally, securely and using best practice.

Other advantages of such a system are time saving through automation and better understanding through interpretation tools typically included in such a package.

EHS Data’s (UK) Monitor-Pro software achieved MCERTS accreditation in 2009 and was the first generic Monitoring Data Management System to attain the rigorous standard.

MCERTS standards around the security of data and the requirement to provide a full and pervasive audit trail that gives complete confidence in the ability of the system and the data it collects.
