Die Annotation des Normtextes ČSN EN 13725 (834781):

This document specifies an objective method for the determination of the odour concentration of a gaseous sample using dynamic olfactometry with human assessors. The document also specifies a method for the determination of the odour emission rate from stationary sources, in particular:

• a) point sources (conveyed or ducted emissions);
• b) active area sources (e.g. biofilters).

The primary application of this document is to provide a common basis for evaluation of odour emissions.

When this document is used for the determination of the odour concentration or the odour emission rate of stationary source emissions, the other relevant European Standards concerning stationary source emissions apply, in particular EN 15259 and EN ISO 16911-1, especially when measurements have to comply with the relevant European Directives concerning industrial air emissions.

Even so, the analysis/quantification step of the measurement method described in this document (i.e. the determination of the odour concentration of an odorous gas sample, without respect to the origin of the sample itself) may be fully applied in many cases not related with industrial emission sources (e.g. the measurement of the mass concentration at the detection threshold of odorant substances, the determination of effectiveness of deodorising systems for indoor air). In those latter cases, the requirements in this document concerning the measurement planning and the sampling of stationary sources may be ignored or adapted.

This document is applicable to the measurement of odour concentration of odorous gas, mixtures of odorants of defined composition and undefined mixtures of odorants in air or nitrogen, using dynamic olfactometry with a panel of human assessors being the sensor
