Activities of the French standardisation group (AFNOR) in odours: revision of the standard for the measurement of the odour intensity and creation of a new standard for the area source sampling

In the frame of the French regulation evolution and the European standardisation on odour issues, two French technical groups were created 3 years ago. They deal with : - the update of the French standard for the measurement of odour intensity to take account of the publication of the European standardisation (EN 13725); - the elaboration of a new standard for the measurement of odour flow rate from area sources by a direct measurement approach, the enclosure approach using an emission flux chamber.
