Silsoe Odours has helped shape odour science in Europe for decades. Our Director, Robert Sneath, helped develop EN 13725:2022, the European standard for odour measurement. This blog explains what the standard covers, why it matters, and how UKAS-accredited testing ensures reliable results.
Silsoe Odours celebrates 20 years of UKAS accredited odour testing and sampling. Accredited by UKAS to BS EN 13725:2022, we provide robust, regulator-ready odour measurement to support planning applications, environmental permits and complaint investigations across the UK.
Odours are subjective, varying from person to person. This makes them hard to measure. But objective odour measurement is possible. The key is using trained assessors, standardised methods, and accredited lab testing. UKAS accreditation to BS EN 13725:2022 ensures results are reliable and accurate. This makes odour data useful for planning, permitting, and environmental investigations.
At Silsoe Odours, we can objectively measure, assess and analyse odours in line with international odour measurement standards. In this article, we explore how to measure odour, with a particular focus on the odour measurement equipment used for both sampling and testing.
