4. Data, calculated over the calendar year, to be transmitted to the Commission U.K.
Member States shall send raw data or shall send raw data and statistics.
For those Member States who transfer raw data and statistics the following statistics are required.
The y th percentile should be selected from the values actually measured. All the values should be listed in increasing order:
The y th percentile is the concentration X k , where the value of k is calculated as follows:
with q being equal to y/100 and N the number of values actually measured.
The value of (q × N) should be rounded off to the nearest whole number.
All the results should be expressed at the following conditions of temperature and pressure: 293 K and 101,3 kPa, except for pollutants 62 and 63. For particle bound components, data from the year 2001 and onwards should be reported at ambient conditions.
5. Data transmission to the Commission: U.K.
Data shall be transmitted by one of the following data formats: ISO 7168 version 2 extended format, NASA-AMES 1001/1010 or DEM () compatible format; or in DEM database:

ANNEX III U.K. DATA VALIDATION PROCEDURE AND QUALITY ASSURANCE
All transmitted data are deemed to be valid.
It is the responsibility of the Member States to ensure that a quality assurance procedure is in place, which meets in general the objectives of this Decision and in paricular the objectives of the relevant Directives.
ANNEX IV U.K. CRITERIA FOR THE AGGREGATION OF DATA AND THE CALCULATION OF STATISTICAL PARAMETERS
These criteria mainly concern the data capture U.K.
If criteria for the aggregation of data and the calculation of statistical parameters have not been laid down in EU directives the following applies:
(a)
Aggregation of data
The criteria for the calculaltion of one-hour and 24-hour values from data with a smaller averaging time are
— for one-hour values: | Minimum data capture 75 %, |
— for 24-hour values: | At least 13 one-hour values available, not more than six successive one-hour values missing. |
(b)
Calculation of statistical parameters
— for the mean and the median: | minimum data capture 50 %, |
— for the percentiles 98, 99,9 and the maximum: | minimum data capture 75 %. |
The ratio between the number of valid data for the two seasons of the year considered cannot be greater than 2, the two seasons being winter (from January to March inclusive and from October to December inclusive) and summer (from April to September inclusive).]
