odournet ilc   The Odournet Quality Assessment team have developed an approach that allows including a complex odour in the 2014 International Comparison of Olfactometry (ILC) test. This enables participating laboratories to not only verify their performance characteristics on the n-butanol reference, but also on an actual unknown complex 'real world' odorant mixture.

   This additional element will allow participating laboratories to obtain a good estimate of their precision under reproducibility conditions, based on experimental data from a blind proficiency test. 

Participation in the ILC satisfies the recommendation of the EN 13725:2003 regarding performance quality requirements: subclause 5.1 General “...Note: Performance testing is best done in a proficiency test coordinated by an external organisation.

Odournet GmbH has been accredited since December 2011 according to the new standard for proficiency testing bodies, EN ISO/IEC 17043:2010.

The ILC allows participating laboratories to ascertain the key performance criteria as defined in EN13725:2003, specifically:

  • precision under repeatability conditions r, and
  • accuracy A for 1-butanol.

seminario olores   We are delighted to share with you that it already happened and we had a very successful Seminar in Chile. We got a full room and all the inscriptions available (170 participants) were booked up in the last days, so we had some very busy days to have everything ready.

We have to apologize for the around 30 people that could not get into the venue. Until the very last day before the Seminar, we were looking for a hotel nearby with a higher capacity, but there was no way to find a suitable place with place for all the booths registered at this event. Also, we had confirmed to the University Andres Bello our event, so it was a difficult for us to reject their kind invitation, after all the beautiful work done by them (a warm thanks for Natalia Wilson from here).

We hope you found the information or the help you were looking for in this Seminar. We are sure you met a lot of interesting people.

We really enjoyed your presence there and we hope to meet you again in another event soon.

 Remember that all the paper, videos, photos and video recordings of the event will be offered in this website following the terms of the open access license.

 Who was there? see our photo album here.

program of the Seminar   We are very happy to share with you that we got finally the program for the First Seminar in Odour Management that will take place at the beginning of March 2014.

   The document you can download below it is not yet finished. We will be updating this program in the next days, therefore, in case you want to print it bear in mind that this program will be evolving in these days. The last version of the document will be ready a week before the Seminar and then you can safely print it.

   We got many questions about the official language of this First Seminar in Odour Management, and here we have to say that you should not worry if you have no idea of Spanish, cause we have organized a complete service of translation for this conference.
