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.
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.
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.
