Since the introduction of the new regulations on indoor air quality, one thing is clear: CO2 plays a crucial role in healthy indoor spaces. But how do you know whether you are choosing a good CO2 meter? The government has published a practical guide with a clear checklist for this purpose.
We have listed the most important points of attention for you, and show you how to make sure your device meets the requirements.
CO2 is a strong indicator of indoor air quality. The higher the CO2 concentration, the greater the likelihood of insufficient ventilation and the higher the risk of aerosol transmission.
With a reliable CO2 meter, you can:

With a reliable CO2 meter, you can:
The government defines several clear criteria. These are the most important:
Always choose a device that directly measures CO2, such as one with an NDIR sensor.
Indirect measurements (“CO2 equivalent”) are not sufficiently reliable.
Every sensor ages and must be calibrated.
Preferred options are:
Regular external lab calibration is not recommended.
A reliable device measures at least up to 2000 ppm, preferably up to 5000 ppm.
The measurement error should remain within a maximum of 10%.
A good CO2 meter:
This lets you take immediate action when needed.
Also consider:
Although there are many devices on the market, not all of them meet these criteria. Devices that work with “equivalent CO2” or without calibration options in particular can lead to wrong conclusions.
