Once again, the German company Olfasense is behind the organization of the 2020 proficiency test for Dynamic Olfactometry according to the European Standard EN 13725. The registration period fo this test has started and organizers invite laboratories from different countries to participate in this ILC2020 test.
The EN 13725 interlaboratory comparison test allows odour laboratories all around the world to demonstrate compliance with their performance requirements and compare the performance of any laboratory internationally. This is essential for those laboratories that maintain ISO 17025 accreditation.
One way to assess odour nuisance is to apply a survey to the area of influence of an activity that potentially impacts the surrounding community. Repeated surveys were carried out in neighbours of the waste water treatment plant at Chimbarongo, Chile, during the years 2017 and 2018, using the VDI3883/1 model questionnaire.
