Particulate Matter Sensor SPS30

For HVAC and Air Quality Applications

With this new particulate matter sensor, Sensirion expands its range of environmental sensing solutions and opens up a new dimension in
indoor and outdoor air quality applications.

The MCERTS-certified SPS30 particulate matter (PM) sensor marks a new technological breakthrough in optical PM sensors. Its measurement
principle is based on laser scattering and makes use of Sensirion's innovative contamination-resistance technology. This technology, together
with high-quality and long-lasting components, enables precise measurements from the device's first operation and throughout its lifetime of
more than ten years.

PM2.5 refers to particulate matter with particle diameter up to 2.5 microns and is among the most dangerous air pollutants. Due to their small
size, PM2.5 particles can travel deep into the human lung and cause a variety of health issues; for instance, by triggering asthma attacks or
contributing to cardiovascular disease. The SPS30 will enable the implementation of innovative air quality monitoring devices that prevent air
pollution damage.

The SPS30 is the first mass-market PM sensor awarded with MCERTS certification.

How You Benefit from Our Technology

MCERTS-Certified

The SPS30 particulate matter sensor has achieved MCERTS certification, which proves the performance of the PM sensor. In addition, the
certification confirms that the SPS30 can be easily integrated into applications that comply with the European Air Quality Standard DIN EN
15267.

The MCERTS certification scheme was established by the UK’s Environment Agency and is built around international and European standards
to ensure high-quality environmental data monitoring. The SPS30 underwent laboratory and field tests and has been proven to fulfill the latest
MCERTS and associated DIN EN 15267 European air quality standards.  Compliance with the above-mentioned standards requires low intra-
model variability (≤ 5 µg/m3), making the SPS30 the first choice for integration into applications requiring high precision. The certification is
issued by the Sira Certification Service, one of the leading notified bodies in Europe. They are also accredited according to ISO/IEC 17065
UKAS and are part of the Canadian Standards Association (CSA Group).

Learn more about the MCERTS certification on the website of CSA Group or have a look at the certificate.

Sensor Specifications

1 Specified for PM2.5 at 25 °C using potassium chloride salt particles and the TSI DustTrakTM DRX Aerosol Monitor 8533 as a reference.
2 PMx defines particles with a size smaller than "x" micrometers (e.g., PM2.5 = particles smaller than 2.5 μm).

Particulate Matter, abbreviated as ‘PM’, is a mixture of airborne solid particles and liquid droplets that can be inhaled and may cause serious
health problems. PM includes particles with different characteristics – i.e. shape, optical properties, size and composition ¬– but it is most
commonly divided into sub-categories based on the particle size information. Different PM categories are usually reported under the ...
