Certech, eligible for the Research Tax Credit, has been active in the field of VOCs and odors for over 35 years. We manage the 4 components of the smell (detectability, intensity, quality and hedonic character), have two sensory rooms and different panelists (representative of the population, calibrated, trained). We are accredited for dynamic dilution olfactometry testing according to EN 13725 and intensity rating. The identification of odorous substances is carried out by correlation with chemical analysis by means of experts (GC- (TOF) MS / Sniffing). A GC × GC-HRTOFMS instrument is available for the analysis of trace compounds, the identification of unknown compounds and characterization of complex mixtures.
Certech competences and services in this field include:
•Evaluation of the odours and chemicals, particles or microbiological compounds emitted by materials, based on the most recent standards.
•Migration tests and manufacturing of barrier materials.
•Simulation of the service-life conditions of materials (test under controlled conditions: emission chamber, emission cell).
•Methods adaptation, customers-specific tests or development of customised tests (e.g. simulation of compounding conditions).
•Chemicals risk assessment on health.
•Selection of low odour and low emission material complying with the latest regulations.
•Remediation: formulation of less odorous and less emissive products.
•Support to raw material suppliers and equipment manufacturers to develop products meeting the required new specifications
•Technology and regulatory watch
