Background of the Project

• Hungary 90.000 km², population 10 mio
• from the early 90s step by step installation of
  monitoring stations (2 PHARE projects)
• Focused on the acquisition of instruments
• Quality assurance not covered
• 2001 58 stations, very different equipment,
  partially obsolete and 50 out of order
• Main focus of the twinning project Quality
  Management

Objectives of the Project acc. to the Covenant

• Comprehensive assistance in setting up a new
  Quality Management System
• Manual for the Quality Management System
• Concept and implementation guide for
  accreditation
• Implementation of data processing procedures
• Training of staff in methods and procedures
• Set up of a public information system on air
  quality

52
Experience / Problems in the Project

• Considerable understaffing on the Hungarian side
• Many other basic tasks of the Hungarian partners
  regarding the implementation of FWD and DD
• Division in zones, agglomerations
• Transfer of the network from the Ministry of
  Health
• Purchase of stations
• Long clarification process of the competences
  between Ministry of Environment and Ministry of
  Health
• Delay by the restructuring of the Ministry of
  Environment and associated institutions after
  national elections
• Wish / pressure of some Regional Inspectorates
  for operating own AQ monitoring systems within a
  decentralised national network delayed decisions

Most important Activities and Results

• Comprehensive assistance for Ministry and DEP in
  developing fully operational structures and
  capacities
• Provision of blueprints for the institutional
  building
• Review of the existing Air Quality Monitoring
  System and the Quality Management Methods
• Elaboration of 1 tender dossier, improvement of a
  further
• Determination of Quality Management Procedures
• Training of the staff
• Proposal for a Quality Management Manual
• Concept for Data processing procedures
• Proposal for a Public information system

Contribution of Saxony-Anhalt in the Project

• Based on
• Review of the existing Monitoring System
  including stations, cal lab, QMS,
  administration/personnel
• Discussion, agreement, elaboration of
• National Monitoring Plan
• Proposal for institutional building
• Calibration concept for the national network
• Data validation concept
• Maintenance concept
• Provision of quality management procedures
• Training of staff
