Logo INTERCinD   LabService Analytica , OdorPrep ™ producer, is organizing for the very first time a proficiency test for Dinamic Olfactometry through its InterCinD Division Accredited ISO EN IEC 17043:2010.

   InterCinD is already accredited for PTs for dioxins and PCBs so they have a broad experience in organizing this kind of tests.  This Proficiency Test is organized following the Accredited PTP consolidated procedures and according to the European Standard EN13725.  The organizers are encouraging other labs to participate to get the needed accreditation for the next edition.

P21Ip   The quality and technical development of an olfactometry laboratory is not free of setbacks and deviations, which are often ignored or even unknown. These can be found in every step of the laboratory procedure, selection and calibration of panelists, sampling, olfactometry analysis and results.

   After twenty years of experience and being participating in a proficiency test since 2010, the factors that may influence in our successful performance were analyzed. The results of this analysis lead to a general review of the other activities and processes of the laboratory.
