As in previous years, Odournet GmbH offers the Interlaboratory Comparison for Olfactometry in 2015. This ILC will allow your laboratory to confirm compliance to the performance criteria of EN 13725:2003 and is therefore essential for those laboratories that maintain ISO 17025 accreditation.
This paper will introduce the importance of proper sampling when assessing odours. Generally, when complaints occur in a region, the first step is to investigate any given complaints. Some of the grievances may not be valid due to factors such as wind direction or other meteorological conditions.
