MCERTS Accreditation

Many permits require multiple data types to be collected from dozens of hundreds of locations for hundreds of parameters at multiple frequencies. The management of related tasks around this big pile of data is where an EDMS (Environment Data Management System) comes in. Having gone to great lengths (and cost) to collect readings, there is then a validation that:

• • You know and have implemented processes to manage your obligations under a permit.
  • You have collected what samples and readings you should have and received the correct amount of readings back (planning and scheduling)
  • Los datos se validan con respecto a los límites de cumplimiento
  • La información se coteja y analiza
  • Se producen informes
  • Data is held securely and is auditable so that a history of edits and all calculations and methods are transparent.

The above is where MCERTS comes in (as well as OMA audits). MCERTS for EDMS (Environment Data Management Systems) provides a formal scheme for the product certification of data management applications to achieve. It covers in-depth all major areas of development and coding standards, principles and practice, security and backups and ensures the availability of source code should the provider no longer be able to develop or support the application.
