ODOUR TESTING – PROFICIENCY TEST SUCCESS
ODOUR TESTING LABORATORY ACHIEVES STRONG RESULTS
It’s that time of year again – results are in! Every year, our lab at Silsoe Odours takes part in the international inter-laboratory comparison of olfactometry. Or, as it’s a bit of a mouthful, the ’round robin’ proficiency test. It’s organised by Olfasense GmbH. They analyse the precision and accuracy of our odour testing, compared to other laboratories across the world.
In 2020, we earned excellent results once again, reinforcing our UKAS-accredited status. The outcome shows that we adhere to the requirements of European odour standard BSEN13725. So, you can continue to be confident in the high quality of our testing results.
Before we go on, why not take a look at this year’s proficiency test certificate.
2020 RESULTS: PRECISION AND ACCURACY
This year, the round-robin analysed 36 laboratories from 16 different countries. 72.2% of these met the requirements of EN13725 for both precision and accuracy. Obviously, this included Silsoe Odours. The results highlight the exceptional quality of our laboratory data and support our other accreditations and quality assurance. We are committed to continuous excellence. With this in mind, we are delighted to see our hard work reflected in the round-robin results for another year. Here are our results for 2020:
Precision: 0.144
Complies with requirement: ≤0.217
Accuracy: 0.200
Complies with requirement: ≤0.477
