Scope
This webinar will introduce a new ICAR service “Validation of Methane Recording Device” according the ICAR protocol.
ICAR validation ensures that a methane recording device (e.g. methane sniffers or other devices) meets manufacture performance claims through ICAR-approved test plans conducted by a qualified ICAR Test Center. Successful validation confirms that the system can reliably deliver quality data when used correctly, leading to the award of an ICAR Certificate of Validation.
The testing procedure consists of two stages: Firstly, the methane recording device will be tested in the Air Quality Lab and in a second phase the device/s will be tested on farm.
ICAR contracted Wageningen University & Research (Droevendaalsesteeg 3a, 6708 PB Wageningen, the Netherlands) and the Innovation and Research Center DairyCampus (Boksumerdyk 11, 8912 CA Leeuwarden, the Netherlands) as the official ICAR Test Centers for this activity.
