- Abstract
-
This standard deals with fundamentals and methods of sensory testing of indoor air and determination of odour emissions from building products using panel members. Methods and criteria for sensory testing are described to determine acceptability, odour intensity, hedonic odour tone and odour quality. The standard specifies general conditions as well as requirements on panel members. Sensory testing of indoor air and determination of odour emissions from building products can meet a variety of objectives. These include finding the causes of unpleasant or annoying odours, determining the tolerability of odours and the usability of affected rooms and inspecting the results of renovation work.
