Introduction
Odour evaluation is a complementary method to the chemical testing of emissions from building
products and materials.
The determination of odour acceptability, intensity and hedonic tone of emissions from building
products and materials using test chambers has objectives such as:
— to provide manufacturers, builders and end users with data useful for the evaluation of the odour
impact of building products and materials on the indoor air quality;
— to promote the development of improved products.
The method can also be used for furnishings and consumer products. For this purpose, a suitable
exposure scenario (according to the reference room defined in EN 16516) needs to be defined.

5 Principle
The odour emission from building products and materials is measured using a sensory odour panel. The
odour determination may be performed in parallel to chemical emission measurements in accordance
with ISO 16000-9 and further specified in EN 16516. The odour characteristics addressed in this part
of ISO 16000 are the acceptability, the perceived intensity and the hedonic tone. Depending on the
measurement task, these odour characteristics or a combination of those can be determined.
6 Test facilities
6.1 General
A facility designed and operated to determine odours emitted from building products and materials
consists of an emission test chamber containing the test specimen. The emission test chamber shall
contain a clean air generation and humidification system, an air mixing system and monitoring and
control systems to ensure that the test is performed to indicated conditions in accordance with
ISO 16000-9 and further specified in EN 16516.

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
SIST ISO 16000-28:2021
ISO 16000-28:2020(E)

The standard procedure for odour assessment is carried out by using sample containers (see 6.3.3).
Alternatively, direct assessment from the outlet of the emission test chamber is possible if sufficient air
flow is assured (see 6.3.1). In this case the outlet shall be fitted with a funnel.
NOTE Due to the requirements of 6.3.1 sufficient air flow is only possible if the following requirements are
3 −1
met: test chambers with more than 4,3 m volume at 0,5 h air change rate.
If the odour assessment is carried out directly from the outlet of the chamber, the chamber material
shall be non-transparent, or the chamber shall be covered in order to avoid the panel members being
influenced by visual recognition of the material in test.
The test room in which the sensory assessment is performed shall conform with the general
requirements described in 7.2. The panel members shall not be influenced by the working environment
(light, acoustics, background odours).
6.2 Test room and recovery room
The test room and the recovery room shall be odour neutral, sufficiently large and unobtrusively
designed. Contamination of the room air by any source, e.g. by coatings, wall and floor coverings,
furniture, shall be prevented. In preparation for sensory testing, the air in the test room and the
recovery room shall be assessed for acceptability or perceived intensity (7.2.1), and the requirements
set out in 7.2.2–7.2.4 shall be complied with.
6.3 Odour sampling and assessment devices
6.3.1 General
The odour sampling and assessment devices shall ensure that
— the air flow is sufficient to guarantee that the panel members inhale only sample air during the
assessment, and
— significant adsorption on the surfaces is avoided and the interface has no emissions of its own to
interfere with the sample air.
6.3.2 Funnel
The odour evaluation interface consists of a funnel, which is connected to the outlet of the sample
presentation system or to the outlet of the emission test chamber. The funnel and the inner surfaces
of the connection ducting shall be composed of glass or surface-treated (polished) stainless steel. The
air flow at the outlet from the funnel to the panel member shall be between 0,6 l/s to 1 l/s and shall
be constant for the duration of each test session. The design of the measurement funnel ensures that
no ambient air is sucked in and mixed with the sample air. An opening angle (both sides) of up to 12°
ensures a homogeneous outflow of sample air (see Figure 1). To prevent contamination of the test room
air, the excess air flow shall be extracted above the funnel.

6.3.3 Sample containers
The following materials are suitable to be used as a sample container:
1)
— polyethylene terephthalate (PET, Nalophane® );
2)
— polyvinyl fluoride (PVF, Tedlar® ).
All batches of container material shall be evaluated for unusual emissions/bachground odours before
first use. PVF/Tedlar® containers need to be conditioned before first use, see 8.4 and Annex C.
Sample containers made of PET shall not be reused.
Other container materials may be used if the performance is tested according to Annex C.
6.3.4 Sample presentation system
A sample presentation system is a device designed for providing odour samples from the sample
containers to the interface (funnel) for odour testing. The size of the sample presentation system is
based on the size of the sample containers. The system shall be designed to minimise influence on the
odour samples and test room conditions. Any parts in direct contact with the odour sample shall be
made from glass, polished stainless steel or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
NOTE For an example of a suitable sample presentation system see Annex C.
6.4 Comparative scale
6.4.1 General
A comparative scale offers at least six different reference stimuli by means of presentation funnels. The
reference odorant is acetone (quality grade ≥99,8 %). The comparative scale is made up of three basic
parts: clean air ducts, acetone source and dosing device. Only materials of very low odour emission and

for the parts that come in contact with sample air to avoid influencing the stimuli. The background
odour of the comparative scale, (i.e. the comparative scale is operated with supply air), must not exceed
the requirements in Table 1 (see 7.2.1).
The flow rate and the concentration of the reference odorant shall be constant both over time as well as
locally within the funnel outlet and independent of the ambient conditions. The flow rate at the outlet of
the funnel shall be between 0,6 l/s and 1,0 l/s and shall be constant for the duration of each test session.
The funnels shall meet the requirements of 6.3.2. The relative humidity and the temperature of the
mixture of air and reference odorant shall be kept constant and shall meet the requirements for the test
chamber 23 °C and 50 % RH (±3 K and ±10 % rH). A schematic of a possible comparative scale is given
in Figure 2.

Introduction
Odour evaluation is a complementary method to the chemical testing of emissions from building
products and materials.
The determination of odour acceptability, intensity and hedonic tone of emissions from building
products and materials using test chambers has objectives such as:
— to provide manufacturers, builders and end users with data useful for the evaluation of the odour
impact of building products and materials on the indoor air quality;
— to promote the development of improved products.
The method can also be used for furnishings and consumer products. For this purpose, a suitable
exposure scenario (according to the reference room defined in EN 16516) needs to be defined.

5 Principle
The odour emission from building products and materials is measured using a sensory odour panel. The
odour determination may be performed in parallel to chemical emission measurements in accordance
with ISO 16000-9 and further specified in EN 16516. The odour characteristics addressed in this part
of ISO 16000 are the acceptability, the perceived intensity and the hedonic tone. Depending on the
measurement task, these odour characteristics or a combination of those can be determined.
6 Test facilities
6.1 General
A facility designed and operated to determine odours emitted from building products and materials
consists of an emission test chamber containing the test specimen. The emission test chamber shall
contain a clean air generation and humidification system, an air mixing system and monitoring and
control systems to ensure that the test is performed to indicated conditions in accordance with
ISO 16000-9 and further specified in EN 16516.
© ISO 2020 – All rights reserved 3

---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
ISO 16000-28:2020(E)

The standard procedure for odour assessment is carried out by using sample containers (see 6.3.3).
Alternatively, direct assessment from the outlet of the emission test chamber is possible if sufficient air
flow is assured (see 6.3.1). In this case the outlet shall be fitted with a funnel.
NOTE Due to the requirements of 6.3.1 sufficient air flow is only possible if the following requirements are
3 −1
met: test chambers with more than 4,3 m volume at 0,5 h air change rate.
If the odour assessment is carried out directly from the outlet of the chamber, the chamber material
shall be non-transparent, or the chamber shall be covered in order to avoid the panel members being
influenced by visual recognition of the material in test.
The test room in which the sensory assessment is performed shall conform with the general
requirements described in 7.2. The panel members shall not be influenced by the working environment
(light, acoustics, background odours).
6.2 Test room and recovery room
The test room and the recovery room shall be odour neutral, sufficiently large and unobtrusively
designed. Contamination of the room air by any source, e.g. by coatings, wall and floor coverings,
furniture, shall be prevented. In preparation for sensory testing, the air in the test room and the
recovery room shall be assessed for acceptability or perceived intensity (7.2.1), and the requirements
set out in 7.2.2–7.2.4 shall be complied with.
6.3 Odour sampling and assessment devices
6.3.1 General
The odour sampling and assessment devices shall ensure that
— the air flow is sufficient to guarantee that the panel members inhale only sample air during the
assessment, and
— significant adsorption on the surfaces is avoided and the interface has no emissions of its own to
interfere with the sample air.
6.3.2 Funnel
The odour evaluation interface consists of a funnel, which is connected to the outlet of the sample
presentation system or to the outlet of the emission test chamber. The funnel and the inner surfaces
of the connection ducting shall be composed of glass or surface-treated (polished) stainless steel. The
air flow at the outlet from the funnel to the panel member shall be between 0,6 l/s to 1 l/s and shall
be constant for the duration of each test session. The design of the measurement funnel ensures that
no ambient air is sucked in and mixed with the sample air. An opening angle (both sides) of up to 12°
ensures a homogeneous outflow of sample air (see Figure 1). To prevent contamination of the test room
air, the excess air flow shall be extracted above the funnel.

ISO 16000-28:2020(E)

Figure 1 — Schematic of a standard funnel
6.3.3 Sample containers
The following materials are suitable to be used as a sample container:
1)
— polyethylene terephthalate (PET, Nalophane® );
2)
— polyvinyl fluoride (PVF, Tedlar® ).
All batches of container material shall be evaluated for unusual emissions/bachground odours before
first use. PVF/Tedlar® containers need to be conditioned before first use, see 8.4 and Annex C.
Sample containers made of PET shall not be reused.
Other container materials may be used if the performance is tested according to Annex C.
6.3.4 Sample presentation system
A sample presentation system is a device designed for providing odour samples from the sample
containers to the interface (funnel) for odour testing. The size of the sample presentation system is
based on the size of the sample containers. The system shall be designed to minimise influence on the
odour samples and test room conditions. Any parts in direct contact with the odour sample shall be
made from glass, polished stainless steel or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
NOTE For an example of a suitable sample presentation system see Annex C.
6.4 Comparative scale
6.4.1 General
A comparative scale offers at least six different reference stimuli by means of presentation funnels. The
reference odorant is acetone (quality grade ≥99,8 %). The comparative scale is made up of three basic
parts: clean air ducts, acetone source and dosing device. Only materials of very low odour emission and

absorption, such as glass, polished stainless steel or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) shall be employed
for the parts that come in contact with sample air to avoid influencing the stimuli. The background
odour of the comparative scale, (i.e. the comparative scale is operated with supply air), must not exceed
the requirements in Table 1 (see 7.2.1).
The flow rate and the concentration of the reference odorant shall be constant both over time as well as
locally within the funnel outlet and independent of the ambient conditions. The flow rate at the outlet of
the funnel shall be between 0,6 l/s and 1,0 l/s and shall be constant for the duration of each test session.
The funnels shall meet the requirements of 6.3.2. The relative humidity and the temperature of the
mixture of air and reference odorant shall be kept constant and shall meet the requirements for the test
chamber 23 °C and 50 % RH (±3 K and ±10 % rH). A schematic of a possible comparative scale is given
in Figure 2.
6.4.2 Set up of the comparative scale
The comparative scale is connected to a supply of odour-neutral air. To cover the whole intensity
perception range of indoor odour samples the comparative scale shall be made of at least the six fixed
levels 0 pi, 3 pi, 6 pi, 9 pi, 12 pi, 15 pi. The test setup shall also provide neutral air to the panel members.
The presented concentrations shall be kept constant over the total measurement period. Between 0 and
3
10 pi, a maximum deviation of ±10 mg/m (±0,5 pi) is acceptable. From 10 pi on, a maximum deviation
3
of ±20 mg/m (±1 pi) is acceptable.
The scale levels of the comparative scale are defined by the following frame conditions:
3
— 0 pi is assigned to an acetone concentration of 20 mg/m ;
— the concentrations for 1 pi to 20 pi can be derived by means of a linear graduation of the acetone
3
concentrations, i.e. an increase of 20 mg/m corresponds to an increase of 1 pi;
3
— 15 pi correspond to an acetone concentration of 320 mg/m . If necessary, the scale can be extended
3
upward. Linearity is shown up to 380 mg/m by [37], [38]. National occupational exposure limits
shall be considered.
NOTE 2 All concentrations refer to a temperature of 23 °C and 50 % RH (±3 K and ±10 % rH

Introduction
L’évaluation des odeurs fait l’objet d’une méthode d’essai en complément des essais chimiques des
émissions de produits et matériaux de construction.
La détermination de l’acceptabilité, de l’intensité et de la tonalité hédonique de l’odeur des émissions de
produits et matériaux de construction au moyen de chambres d’essai a pour objectif:
— de fournir aux fabricants, constructeurs et utilisateurs finaux des informations utiles pour évaluer
l’impact olfactif des produits et matériaux de construction sur la qualité de l’air intérieur;
— de favoriser le développement de produits de meilleure qualité.
Cette méthode peut également être utilisée pour le mobilier et les produits de consommation. Pour
cela, un scénario d’exposition approprié (utilisant la chambre de référence définie dans l’EN 16516)
doit être défini.

6 Installations d’essai
6.1 Généralités
Une installation conçue et utilisée pour déterminer les odeurs émises par les produits et matériaux
de construction comprend une chambre d’essai d’émission contenant l’éprouvette d’essai. La chambre
d’essai d’émission doit contenir un système d’humidification et de production d’air propre, un système
de mélange d’air ainsi que des systèmes de contrôle et de surveillance pour s’assurer que l’essai est
réalisé dans les conditions spécifiées dans l’ISO 16000-9 et précisés dans l’EN 16516.
Le mode opératoire normalisé pour l’évaluation olfactive est appliqué en utilisant des récipients
d’échantillonnage (voir 6.3.3). Il est également possible de réaliser une évaluation directe depuis la
sortie de la chambre d’essai d’émission si un débit d’air suffisant est assuré (voir 6.3.1). Dans ce cas, la
sortie doit être équipée d’un diffuseur.
NOTE En raison des exigences mentionnées en 6.3.1, un débit d’air suffisant est uniquement possible si les
3
exigences suivantes sont satisfaites pour les chambres d’essai d’un volume supérieur à 4,3 m avec un taux de
−1
renouvellement d’air de 0,5 h .
Si l’évaluation de l’odeur est effectuée directement à la sortie de la chambre, cette dernière doit être
constituée d’un matériau non transparent ou doit être recouverte afin que les membres du jury ne
soient pas influencés par reconnaissance visuelle du matériau soumis à essai.
La pièce d’essai dans laquelle l’évaluation sensorielle est effectuée doit satisfaire aux exigences
générales décrites en 7.2. Les membres du jury ne doivent pas être influencés par l’environnement de
travail (lumière, acoustique, odeurs intrinsèques).
6.2 Pièce d’essai et pièce de repos
La pièce d’essai et la pièce de repos doivent être inodores, suffisamment grandes et avoir un design
discret. La contamination de l’air ambiant par une source quelconque, par exemple les revêtements
muraux et les revêtements de sol, les meubles, doit être évitée. En prévision des essais sensoriels, l’air
présent dans la pièce d’essai et dans la pièce de repos doit être évalué en termes d’acceptabilité ou
d’intensité perçue (7.2.1), et les exigences mentionnées en 7.2.2 à 7.2.4 doivent être satisfaites.
6.3 Dispositifs d’échantillonnage et d’évaluation de l’odeur
6.3.1 Généralités
Les dispositifs d’échantillonnage et d’évaluation de l’odeur doivent garantir:
— que le débit d’air est suffisant pour que les membres du jury inhalent uniquement l’air
d’échantillonnage pendant l’évaluation, et
— qu’une adsorption significative sur les surfaces est évitée et que l’interface ne contient aucune
émission interférant avec l’air d’échantillonnage.
6.3.2 Diffuseur
L’interface d’évaluation de l’odeur comprend un diffuseur raccordé à la sortie du système de présentation
des échantillons ou à la sortie de la chambre d’essai d’émission. Le diffuseur et les surfaces internes
de la conduite de raccordement doivent être constitués de verre ou d’acier inoxydable (poli) à surface
traitée. Le débit d’air à la sortie du diffuseur jusqu’au membre du jury doit être compris entre 0,6 l/s et
1 l/s et doit être constant pendant toute la durée de chaque session d’essai. La conception du diffuseur
de mesure garantit que l’air ambiant n’est pas aspiré et mélangé avec l’air d’échantillonnage. Un angle
d’ouverture (des deux côtés) maximal de 12° assure un débit homogène de l’air d’échantillonnage (voir
Figure 1). Pour éviter la contamination de l’air de la pièce d’essai, le débit d’air en excès doit être extrait
au-dessus du diffuseur.

6.3.3 Récipients d’échantillonnage
Les matériaux suivants sont aptes à une utilisation comme récipient d’échantillonnage:
1)
— polyéthylène téréphtalate (PET, Nalophan® );
2)
— poly(fluorure de vinyle) (PVF, Tedlar® ).
Tous les lots de matériau de récipient doivent être évalués en termes d’émissions inhabituelles/odeurs
intrinsèques avant d’être utilisés pour la première fois. Les récipients en PVF/Tedlar® doivent être
conditionnés avant d’être utilisés pour la première fois, voir 8.4 et l’Annexe C.
Les récipients d’échantillonnage en PET ne doivent pas être réutilisés.
D’autres matériaux de récipient peuvent être utilisés si la performance est soumise à essai conformément
à l’Annexe C.
6.3.4 Système de présentation des échantillons
Un système de présentation des échantillons est un dispositif conçu pour fournir des échantillons
d’odeur provenant des récipients d’échantillonnage jusqu’à l’interface (diffuseur) en vue d’effectuer des
essais olfactifs. La taille du système de présentation des échantillons dépend de la taille des récipients
d’échantillonnage. Le système doit être conçu pour réduire au minimum l’influence sur les échantillons
d’odeur et les conditions de la pièce d’essai. Toute partie en contact direct avec l’échantillon d’odeur doit
être en verre, en acier inoxydable poli ou en polytétrafluoroéthylène (PTFE).

Introduction
Odour evaluation is a complementary method to the chemical testing of emissions from building
products and materials.
The determination of odour acceptability, intensity and hedonic tone of emissions from building
products and materials using test chambers has objectives such as:
— to provide manufacturers, builders and end users with data useful for the evaluation of the odour
impact of building products and materials on the indoor air quality;
— to promote the development of improved products.
The method can also be used for furnishings and consumer products. For this purpose, a suitable
exposure scenario (according to the reference room defined in EN 16516) needs to be defined.

5 Principle
The odour emission from building products and materials is measured using a sensory odour panel. The
odour determination may be performed in parallel to chemical emission measurements in accordance
with ISO 16000-9 and further specified in EN 16516. The odour characteristics addressed in this part
of ISO 16000 are the acceptability, the perceived intensity and the hedonic tone. Depending on the
measurement task, these odour characteristics or a combination of those can be determined.
6 Test facilities
6.1 General
A facility designed and operated to determine odours emitted from building products and materials
consists of an emission test chamber containing the test specimen. The emission test chamber shall
contain a clean air generation and humidification system, an air mixing system and monitoring and
control systems to ensure that the test is performed to indicated conditions in accordance with
ISO 16000-9 and further specified in EN 16516.
© ISO 2020 – All rights reserved 3

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
oSIST ISO 16000-28:2021
ISO 16000-28:2020(E)

The standard procedure for odour assessment is carried out by using sample containers (see 6.3.3).
Alternatively, direct assessment from the outlet of the emission test chamber is possible if sufficient air
flow is assured (see 6.3.1). In this case the outlet shall be fitted with a funnel.
NOTE Due to the requirements of 6.3.1 sufficient air flow is only possible if the following requirements are
3 −1
met: test chambers with more than 4,3 m volume at 0,5 h air change rate.
If the odour assessment is carried out directly from the outlet of the chamber, the chamber material
shall be non-transparent, or the chamber shall be covered in order to avoid the panel members being
influenced by visual recognition of the material in test.
The test room in which the sensory assessment is performed shall conform with the general
requirements described in 7.2. The panel members shall not be influenced by the working environment
(light, acoustics, background odours).
6.2 Test room and recovery room
The test room and the recovery room shall be odour neutral, sufficiently large and unobtrusively
designed. Contamination of the room air by any source, e.g. by coatings, wall and floor coverings,
furniture, shall be prevented. In preparation for sensory testing, the air in the test room and the
recovery room shall be assessed for acceptability or perceived intensity (7.2.1), and the requirements
set out in 7.2.2–7.2.4 shall be complied with.
6.3 Odour sampling and assessment devices
6.3.1 General
The odour sampling and assessment devices shall ensure that
— the air flow is sufficient to guarantee that the panel members inhale only sample air during the
assessment, and
— significant adsorption on the surfaces is avoided and the interface has no emissions of its own to
interfere with the sample air.
6.3.2 Funnel
The odour evaluation interface consists of a funnel, which is connected to the outlet of the sample
presentation system or to the outlet of the emission test chamber. The funnel and the inner surfaces
of the connection ducting shall be composed of glass or surface-treated (polished) stainless steel. The
air flow at the outlet from the funnel to the panel member shall be between 0,6 l/s to 1 l/s and shall
be constant for the duration of each test session. The design of the measurement funnel ensures that
no ambient air is sucked in and mixed with the sample air. An opening angle (both sides) of up to 12°
ensures a homogeneous outflow of sample air (see Figure 1). To prevent contamination of the test room
air, the excess air flow shall be extracted above the funnel.

6.3.3 Sample containers
The following materials are suitable to be used as a sample container:
1)
— polyethylene terephthalate (PET, Nalophane® );
2)
— polyvinyl fluoride (PVF, Tedlar® ).
All batches of container material shall be evaluated for unusual emissions/bachground odours before
first use. PVF/Tedlar® containers need to be conditioned before first use, see 8.4 and Annex C.
Sample containers made of PET shall not be reused.
Other container materials may be used if the performance is tested according to Annex C.
6.3.4 Sample presentation system
A sample presentation system is a device designed for providing odour samples from the sample
containers to the interface (funnel) for odour testing. The size of the sample presentation system is
based on the size of the sample containers. The system shall be designed to minimise influence on the
odour samples and test room conditions. Any parts in direct contact with the odour sample shall be
made from glass, polished stainless steel or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
NOTE For an example of a suitable sample presentation system see Annex C.
6.4 Comparative scale
6.4.1 General
A comparative scale offers at least six different reference stimuli by means of presentation funnels. The
reference odorant is acetone (quality grade ≥99,8 %). The comparative scale is made up of three basic
parts: clean air ducts, acetone source and dosing device. Only materials of very low odour emission and

for the parts that come in contact with sample air to avoid influencing the stimuli. The background
odour of the comparative scale, (i.e. the comparative scale is operated with supply air), must not exceed
the requirements in Table 1 (see 7.2.1).
The flow rate and the concentration of the reference odorant shall be constant both over time as well as
locally within the funnel outlet and independent of the ambient conditions. The flow rate at the outlet of
the funnel shall be between 0,6 l/s and 1,0 l/s and shall be constant for the duration of each test session.
The funnels shall meet the requirements of 6.3.2. The relative humidity and the temperature of the
mixture of air and reference odorant shall be kept constant and shall meet the requirements for the test
chamber 23 °C and 50 % RH (±3 K and ±10 % rH). A schematic of a possible comparative scale is given

Introduction
Odour evaluation is a complementary method to the chemical testing of emissions from building
products and materials.
The determination of odour acceptability, intensity and hedonic tone of emissions from building
products and materials using test chambers has objectives such as:
— to provide manufacturers, builders and end users with data useful for the evaluation of the odour
impact of building products and materials on the indoor air quality;
— to promote the development of improved products.
The method can also be used for furnishings and consumer products. For this purpose a suitable
exposure scenario (according to the reference room defined in EN 16516) needs to be defined.

6 Test facilities
6.1 General
A facility designed and operated to determine odours emitted from building products and materials
consists of an emission test chamber containing the test specimen. The emission test chamber shall
contain a clean air generation and humidification system, an air mixing system and monitoring
and control systems to ensure that the test is performed to specified conditions in accordance with
ISO 16000-9 and further specified in EN 16516.
The standard procedure for odour assessment is carried out by using sample containers (see 6.3.2).
Alternatively direct assessment from the outlet of the emission test chamber is possible if sufficient air
flow is assured (see 6.3.1). In this case the outlet shall be fitted with a funnel.
NOTE Under conditions described in this standard sufficient air flow is only possible for test chambers with
3 -1
more than 4,3 m volume at 0,5 h air change rate.
If the odour assessment is carried out directly from the outlet of the chamber, the chamber material
shall be non-transparent or the chamber shall be covered in order to avoid the panel members being
influenced by visual recognition of the material in test.
The test room in which the sensory assessment is performed shall comply with the general
requirements described in 7.2. The panel members shall not be influenced by the working environment
(light, acoustics, off-odours).
6.2 Test room and recovery room
The test room and the recovery room shall be odour-neutral, sufficiently large and unobtrusively
designed. Contamination of the room air by any source, e.g. by coatings, wall and floor coverings,
furniture, shall be prevented. In preparation for sensory testing, the air in the test room and the
recovery room shall be assessed for acceptability or intensity (Section 7.2.1), and the requirements set
out in 7.2.2-7.2.4 shall be complied with.
6.3 Odour sampling and assessment devices
The odour sampling and assessment devices shall ensure that
— the air flow is sufficient to guarantee that the panel members inhale only sample air during the
assessment, and
— significant adsorption on the surfaces is avoided and the interface has no emissions of its own to
interfere with the sample air.
6.3.1 Funnel
The odour evaluation interface consists of a funnel, which is connected to the outlet of the sample
presentation system or to the outlet of the emission test chamber. The funnel and the inner surfaces
of the connection ducting shall be composed of glass or surface-treated (polished) stainless steel. The
air flow at the outlet from the funnel to the panel member shall be between 0,6 l/s to 1 l/s and shall
be constant for the duration of each test session. The design of the measurement funnel ensures that
no ambient air is sucked in and mixed with the sample air. An opening angle (both sides) of up to 12°
ensures a homogeneous outflow of sample air (funnel see Figure 1). To prevent contamination of the
test room air, the excess air flow shall be extracted above the funnel.

Figure 1 — Schematic of a standard funnel
6.3.2 Sample containers
The following materials are suitable to be used as a sample container:
1)
— polyethylene terephthalate (PET, Nalophan® );
2)
— polyvinyl fluoride (PVF, Tedlar® ).
All batches of container material shall be evaluated for unusual emissions/off-odours before first use.
PVF/Tedlar® containers need to be conditioned before first use, see 8.3 and Annex C.
All polymeric materials tend to affect the air sample contained within. The above mentioned materials
have been tested and showed acceptable recovery for most relevant substances.
NOTE 1 Sample containers made of PET shall not be reused.
NOTE 2 Other container materials might be used if the performance is tested according to Annex C.
6.3.3 Sample presentation system
A sample presentation system is a device designed for providing odour samples from the sample
containers to the interface (funnel) for odour testing. The size of the sample presentation system is
based on the size of the sample containers. The system shall be designed to minimise influence on the
odour samples and test room conditions. Any parts in direct contact with the odour sample shall be
made from glass, polished stainless steel or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
NOTE For an example of a suitable sample presentation system see Annex C.
6.4 Comparative scale
A comparative scale offers at least six different reference stimuli by means of presentation funnels. The
reference odorant is acetone (quality grade ≥ 99,8 %). The comparative scale is made up of three basic

parts: clean air ducts, acetone source and dosing device. Only materials of very low odour emission and
absorption, such as glass, polished stainless steel or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) shall be employed
for the parts that come in contact with sample air to avoid influencing the stimuli. The background
odour of the comparative scale, (i.e. the comparative scale is operated with supply air), must not exceed
the requirements in Table 1 (see 7.2.1).
The flow rate and the concentration of the reference odorant shall be constant both over time as well as
locally within the funnel outlet and independent of the ambient conditions. The flow rate at the outlet of
the funnel shall be between 0,6 l/s and 1,0 l/s and shall be constant for the duration of each test session.
The funnels shall meet the requirements of 6.3.1. The relative humidity and the temperature of the
mixture of air and reference odorant shall be kept constant and shall meet the requirements for the test
chamber (±3 K and ± 10% rH). A schematic of a possible comparative scale is given in Figure 2.
6.4.1 Set up of the comparative scale
The comparative scale is connected to a supply of odour-neutral air. To cover the whole intensity
perception range of indoor odour samples the comparative scale shall be made of at least the six fixed
levels 0 pi, 3 pi, 6 pi, 9 pi, 12 pi, 15 pi. The test setup shall also provide neutral-air to the panel members.
The presented concentrations shall be kept constant over the total measurement period. Between 0 and

Introduction
L’évaluation des odeurs est une méthode complémentaire aux essais chimiques des émissions de produits
et matériaux de construction.
La détermination de l’acceptabilité, de l’intensité et de la tonalité hédonique de l’odeur des émissions de
produits et matériaux de construction au moyen de chambres d’essai a pour objectif :
 de fournir aux fabricants, constructeurs et utilisateurs finaux des informations utiles pour évaluer
l’impact olfactif des produits et matériaux de construction sur la qualité de l’air intérieur ;
 de favoriser le développement de produits de meilleure qualité.
La méthode peut être également utilisée pour le mobilier et les produits de consommation. Pour cela, un
scénario d’exposition approprié (conformément { la chambre de référence définie dans l’EN 16516) doit
être défini.
