Three different quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) standards are used in the
LAQN reflecting the level of traceability or 'robustness' of the data:
AURN Standard - Data have tracability to national standards
and are run to operational procedures defined for the Automatic Urban and Rural Network (AURN).
LAQN Standard - Data have traceability to national standards and operational procedures
defined for the London Air Quality Network (LAQN).
HBAPMN & KAQMN Standard - Data have traceability to national standards
and operational procedures defined for the relevant regional Network.
Locality Standard - Insufficient information to allow traceability
to national standards, but data is still considered 'robust'. Site is operated to local procedures.
