Odour measurement - Accredited Olfactometry Service
AEA offers a comprehensive odour sampling and UKAS accredited olfactometry management service to support agriculture, process industry, and waste industries with accurate odour analysis. The service complements AEA’s in-depth process, environmental assessment and regulatory expertise.
Using AEA’s olfactometry service will satisfy the Environment Agency’s recommended use of a UKAS accredited test house.
Our odour concentration measurements are made following the protocols described in BS EN 13725.2005 Air Quality - determination and odour concentration by dynamic dilution olfactometry. The odour concentration is measured by presenting the sample, at a range of dilutions, to a panel of six assessors to find the dilution factor at the 50% detection threshold. The resulting concentration is expressed with units of European Odour Unit per cubic metre (ouE/m3).
