proficiency test for gas odorisation

Natural gas is odorised to provide the consumer with a personal safety mechanism and ensure that end users can detect leaks by their smell. It is important that the odour concentration of the gas is strictly controlled to maintain a constant sensory alarm level at the point of use.

Odournet offers interlaboratory tests for gas odorisation, in order to:

• Increase the reliability of results through the sensory analysis of blind samples from several laboratories;

• Identify qualified laboratories which can independently carry out regular  measurements.

These interlaboratory tests are carried out on the basis of various national norms such as AFG specifications - Odeur du GPL (Com D/N39 Rev4).
