NextPM Class1 certified
Setting the New Standard: NextPM Achieves Class 1 Certification for Fine Particle Monitoring in South Korea
Class 1 certification is a legal requirement in South Korea for fine particle measurement instruments used for air quality monitoring purposes.
The Korean government has put in place a strict regulatory framework for fine particle monitoring, partly motivated by the enactment of the Special Act on the Reduction and Management of Fine Dust. This law aims to mitigate the risks that fine particles pose to public health.
The Class 1 certification obtained by NextPM means that it can now be used as a reference instrument for the evaluation of other fine particle sensors in South Korea. This is particularly significant given South Korea’s emphasis on the accurate monitoring of fine particulate matter, as outlined in the Special Act on the Reduction and Management of Fine Particulate Matter.
NextPM is designed to operate in a wide range of environmental conditions, and offers particle size detection in the 0.3 to 10 µm diameter range.
The key technical features of NextPM are outlined below:
● Two-angle detection: The NextPM incorporates two photodetectors that measure light scattering at two angles (45° and 90°) for greater accuracy. This unique feature enables better discrimination of particles from 1 to 10 µm.
● Humidity regulation: The NextPM uses a heating system at the sensor inlet to keep the relative humidity inside the sensor below 60%. This patented innovation limits the influence of humidity on measurements and extends sensor life.
● Anti-clogging design: The NextPM features an integrated aeraulic filter at the sensor inlet. This filter prevents particles larger than 10 µm in aerodynamic diameter from entering the regular flow, and directs them to a high-capacity retention tank. This unique design eliminates the need for an additional physical filter, and improves sensor life by preventing premature clogging.
NextPM’s Class 1 certification is a significant development in the field of fine particle monitoring in South Korea. It provides a reliable and accurate instrument for measuring fine particle concentrations, contributing to the country’s efforts to manage and reduce fine particle pollution. The sensor’s technical features, especially humidity regulation and anti clogging design, make it a valuable tool for air quality monitoring in the challenging environmental conditions often experienced in South Korea
In conclusion, NextPM sensor, with its Class 1 certification and high accuracy score, is set to become a key instrument in South Korea’s fine particle monitoring and management efforts.
