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.
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.

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.
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.
Selecting the right odour consultant is critical for accurate odour measurement, compliance, planning and operational efficiency. Learn what to look for in experience, accreditation and Safe Contractor status.
