However, quality requirements vary. Measurements are to be carried out by qualified institutes using measuring and monitoring systems. To this end, a certification system can provide the best assurance. In the framework of modern automated monitoring systems and process control equipment, reporting does not create a problem. To obtain better comparability, data sets and prescribing regulations should be harmonized.
Harmonization is also desirable for quality assurance of measuring and monitoring systems.
This should be taken into account when comparing data. Depending on the type of industrial process, the necessary information may differ. This also involves the location of the measurement point within the system. Quality control of measurements has to be ensured. Implementation status, efficiency and costs per sector are not considered here.
