Emission chamber testing is the reference method. Related standards are e.g. ISO 16000, EN 717-1, ASTM D5116, ASTM D6670, JIS A 1901, and more. Secondary methods are those that are less accurate but also less expensive. Anyhow these may serve very well for compliance testing, batch control, or for survey testing of emission order of magnitude. One example is Microchamber (en) (fr).
Odour emission testing is less reliable than chemical emission testing because subjective rating of odour is involved. When needed, Eurofins is offering odour testing, then performing odour testing as well as possible (en) (fr), but still within the unavoidable frame of limited accuracy.
