Hedonic tone odour assessments measure how pleasant or unpleasant an odour is perceived to be. Learn how the hedonic tone scale helps organisations understand odour perception and potential community impact.
Biofilter odour sampling helps assess the performance of biofilters used to treat industrial emissions. Learn how the sheet cover method enables representative odour sampling from large surface areas and supports compliance with EN 13725:2022.
Stack sampling measures odour emissions directly from stacks, flues and vents. It provides reliable data for compliance, planning and odour assessment.
A sniff survey is a structured field method used to assess odour impact in real-world conditions by measuring how odours are experienced off-site.
A practical guide to odour sampling methods, explaining how emissions are collected from different sources, including ducts, stacks, biofilters and site boundaries, and how to select the right approach for each assessment.
Odour characterisation training ensures consistent and repeatable odour descriptions across laboratory and field assessments. This improves the reliability of odour interpretation and supports more robust assessment and complaint evaluation.
Olfactometry is the standard laboratory method used to measure odour concentration and intensity in air samples. This guide explains how dynamic olfactometry works under BS EN 13725:2022, including UKAS-accredited odour sampling and analysis.
UKAS-accredited odour testing laboratory providing sampling and analysis services to support planning, permitting and environmental compliance.
UKAS accreditation and independent proficiency testing ensure reliable odour measurement. Discover the role of BS EN 13725:2022 and olfactometry in delivering consistent, defensible laboratory results for regulatory and technical decision-making.
Learn how Silsoe Odours tests and analyses odours using UKAS-accredited methods. Understand the process of odour testing, including odour panels and how results remain objective.
