 Scale refers to the WMO-2004 CO scale. Last audit was in June 2011 with excellent agreement.
Last round robin with 5 CMDL standards took place in Nov. 2005 with excellent agreement (mean deviation < 1.7%).

for NDIR-Analyser:
1/95-4/96 : Calibration and zero check was carried out twice a week.
5/96-9/97 : Every 5 minutes switch between zero and measuring mode.
Since 10/97: Every 10 minutes switch between zero and measurement mode, calibration once a week.
Certified CO in N2 in cylinders and dynamic dilution with synthetic air is used for calibration. For zero measurement ambient air after removal of CO by oxidation with Pd-catalyst (150 °C) is used.
Serves as backup instrument. Continuous intercomparison with resonance fluorescence method.

for resonance fluorescence:
since 04/04 : Calibration is carried out once a day and zero check every 11 hours.
since 04/05 : Calibration and zero check are carried out every 11 hours.
 The data acquisition system provides one minute mean raw data. Calibration factors and data protocols are used to convert raw data into calibrated data. Invalid data caused by local impact, malfunction or other effects were recognized by comparison/correlation with other trace substances and meteorological data or with information from the station logbook and were rejected.
For NDIR analyser: From these selected data 20 min mean values are generated (difference between 5 min zero - 10 min measurement - 5 min zero) with number of data being more than 10 (more than 5 in zero mode and more than 5 in measurement mode).
For resonance flourescence (RF) analyser: 10 min mean values are generated by calculating the arithmetic mean of the remaining data with number of data being more than 6.
 [Hourly] NDIR: Take the arithmetic mean of selected 20 min mean data with the number of data being more than 1.
RF : Take the arithmetic mean of respective one minute mean validated data with the number of data more than 40.
 [Daily] Daily data take the arithmetic mean of respective hourly data with the number of hourly data more than 16.
 [Monthly] Monthly data take the arithmetic mean of respective hourly data with the number of daily data more than 20 (for February more than 19, respectively).
 Only validated data are sent to WDCGG.
