UKAS ACCREDITED ODOUR LABORATORY

If you have ever worked with us here at Silsoe Odours, you know that the technical quality of our work is paramount. We must provide the most accurate results every time, and it is something we don’t take lightly. So, we are pleased to tell you that, once again, we have achieved UKAS accreditation for our odour laboratory. We were the first odour lab in the country to achieve this accolade. 2022 marks the eighteenth consecutive year that we have done so.

WHY IS ACCREDITATION IMPORTANT?

UKAS is the National Accreditation Body for the United Kingdom. Every four years, they carry out a re-assessment of our accreditation. They perform an audit in the intervening years (such as this one). This is a stringent assessment of the quality processes at our specialist odour laboratory to check we still conform to ISO17025.

By holding UKAS accreditation, we demonstrate our team’s technical expertise and our commitment to quality control. In addition, we show that we perform odour testing in compliance with European odour standard BSEN13725:2022.

ODOUR LABORATORY

A TEAM SUCCESS

James Sneath is our Technical Manager and heads the odour laboratory at Silsoe Odours. Together with a team of laboratory operators and assessors, James provides a range of odour services. These services include testing for odour concentration, chemical analysis and the odour detection threshold.

2021 was another year of pandemic-related challenges, but it didn't detract from our focus on high standards. The odour lab team have worked hard and deservedly achieved UKAS accreditation again. After nearly two decades of UKAS accreditation, you can feel confident that you are in safe hands when you work with Silsoe Odours.
