1 National System and QA/QC: The Netherlands
EU Workshop on QA/QC, 2-3 Sept. 2004, Copenhagen Gudi Alkemade (RIVM) Dick Both (SenterNovem) Start presentatie woensdag 26 december 2018woensdag 26 december 2018

2 Content National System:elements, process QA/QC programme and plan
Quality control Quality assurance Verification Other aspects The way ahead woensdag 26 december 2018

3 National System - Elements
Programme (since 2002) to ‘build’ National System Improvement and description of methods, processes, tasks and responsibilities > e.g. Protocols/transparency Improvement programme > Better data quality/methods Elaboration of QA/QC programme > organisation/procedures Improving legal and institutional basis Build upon existing Pollution Emission Register (PER) All emissions to water, air and soil Co-operation between various Ministries and institutes (e.g. RIVM, TNO, WUR, CBS/Statistics) Quality System (since 1997, ISO 9000) for part of process woensdag 26 december 2018

4 National System - Basic process (2)
Input Data: Supplied by various institutes: statistics (CBS), industry, agricultural institutes, etc. Data processing > PER (Pollutant Emission Register): : Five task forces for various sectors, co-ordinated by RIVM/MNP Database system: now different systems. During : integration into 1 database (improved handling/consistency) Reporting (international) on GHG+ coordination QA/QC: Coordinated by National Inventory Entity (NIE): SenterNovem is presently performing tasks of National Inventory Entity during ‘building’ phase (until 2006) Legal basis/arrangements under preparation woensdag 26 december 2018

5 QA/QC programme and plan
Elements QA/QC objectives: related to transparency, completeness, consistency, comparability, accuracy QC activities QA activities Documentation and archiving Evaluation and improvement activities Status: Many elements already developed and/or in place Planned to be finalised in 2004 woensdag 26 december 2018

6 Quality Control (1) QC procedures Tier 1 (Status Aug. ‘04) Tier 2
Check existing procedures and identify improvement needs Adapting procedures to meet IPCC GPG requirements Implementation by finalising improved processes, integration into PER, developing and implementing tools, etc. Tier 2 Elaborated and described in monitoring protocols woensdag 26 december 2018

7 Quality Control (2) Data checks
Related to completeness, emission level and errors By staff from PER (for GHG and various other emissions) Covers the PER, as well as the CRF data set Levels per sector per year compared with previous year Trend analysis Significant differences --> checks on more detailed level (sub-sector, process related emissions, EF, AD) CRF: sub sources level: annual changes in GHG emissions, activity data and implied emission factors woensdag 26 december 2018

8 Quality Control (3) Automated checks:
On completeness and consistency After establishing emission data by involved staff (Task Forces) and after conversion to CRF tables Checks on country specific emission factors: Checks on applicability as part of Improvement programme (as part of developing monitoring protocols) Annually: for industry --> comparing with defaults Annually: for energy/traffic --> measurements Expert judgements (by task forces) + where needed, additional research (as part of improvement programme) woensdag 26 december 2018

9 Quality Control (4) Intermediate results (from improvement programme)
Re-evaluation of CO2 emission factors for fuels Improvement CO2 from waste incineration Tier 2 methodology CO2 from feedstocks Tier 2 methodology CH4 from gas distribution and enteric fermentation(cattle) Improving methodology indirect emissions N2O from soil Updating CH4 emissions from landfills and waste water treatment plants Identification of significant non-CO2 sources Assessment of white spots for sinks monitoring and improvement actions woensdag 26 december 2018

10 Quality Assurance (1) Basic peer review of inventory:
Planned before Review of draft NIR (public, EU): Public review: yearly since 2003 Extensive review (key sources/sources with significant changes e.g.) Key sources reviewed as part of improvement programme. Further specific actions planned for e.g. Sectoral approach for combustion (in 2004) Agriculture and waste Elements are elaborated in the QA/QC plan woensdag 26 december 2018

11 Quality Assurance (2) Verification with other data:
When appropriate and data are available Audits (periodical): Annual internal and external audits used to be part of the Quality System of the PER (ISO 9000). Adaptation to new organisational set-up of PER is under discussion. woensdag 26 december 2018

12 Verification Comparison with other data available
By PER staff (Task Forces): elaborated in monitoring protocols Energy statistics, production statistics, related emission processes Comparisons with atmospheric concentration measurements As part of research programmes (e.g. ROB on non-CO2 and NOP-MLK on climate research) Dutch Air Quality Monitoring Network Comparison with international data Consultation with UK and Belgium (e.g. sept. ‘04, nov. ‘04) woensdag 26 december 2018

13 Other aspects: Quality manual and management system:
under discussion: update of procedures of PER QM system (ISO9001 for part of process) to reflect e.g. Organisational changes of PER Incorporation of processes of data-collection and emission calculation (monitoring protocols) Agreements with data providing agencies (contracts, convenants) Documentation and archiving: Set-up further under discussion Also website: woensdag 26 december 2018

14 The way ahead (1): Improvement of monitoring methods, data quality, processes and transparent description: Ongoing; co-ordinated by SenterNovem Implemented with involved Ministries and institutes (RIVM, TNO, CBS, WUR, etc.) Institutional and legal arrangements Reorganisation of PER implemented since April Further actions a.o. streamlining of processes, integration into 1 database Further legal and institutional arrangements made by Ministry (VROM). Will give organisation and responsibilities a more solid legal basis. woensdag 26 december 2018

15 The way ahead (2) Elaboration of QA/QC programme and plan
Elaborated with involved institutes Includes regular update of inventory improvement plan Planned to be finalised in 2004 and hence regularly updated Overall co-ordination of QA/QC (elaboration, implementation, updating): SenterNovem Financial resources from Ministry (Environment) RIVM/MNP: integration of relevant elements in PER Quality management system (under discussion) QA/QC training for involved staff: Workshop planned on adapted QC procedures (SenterNovem with Task Force members) Much training-on-the job through joint development of improved procedures woensdag 26 december 2018

16 Important experiences in NL
Improving legal/institutional basis for continuity and consistency Strengthening various QAQC elements Research but also Information management Creativity orginality reproducibility of the results reputation consistency comparability transparancy of the process confidence Source: DHV woensdag 26 december 2018
