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.
Olfactometry is the science of measuring odour. Using trained human odour assessors and specialist laboratory equipment, dynamic olfactometry enables us to quantify odour concentration with precision and reliability. Widely used to investigate nuisance complaints, assess environmental impact and evaluate control measures, it remains the gold standard for odour measurement. In this guide, we explain how olfactometry works, why human assessors are essential, and how we ensure accuracy and safety throughout the process.
