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
Travaux du groupe de normalisation français (AFNOR) sur les odeurs : révision de la norme sur la mesure de l'intensité d'odeur et élaboration d'une nouvelle norme pour le prélèvement d'émissions surfaciques
Résumé
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.
