FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions — Odour Testing Lab in Chennai

Is this different from the odor testing mentioned on your VOC Testing page?

Yes — the VOC page briefly mentions odor testing as one of six broader emission tests. This page is our dedicated, in-depth sensory panel odour testing service — trained human panelists rating materials on the VDA 270 6-point scale — distinct from VOC’s instrumental compound analysis and Fogging’s haze/condensate measurement.

What samples can be tested at your odour testing lab in Chennai?

We test automotive interior trim materials, foams, adhesives, plastics, and finished components for sensory odour intensity.

How long does odour testing take?

Standard turnaround for odour testing at our Chennai lab is 2–4 working days, including sample conditioning and panel scheduling.

What does the VDA 270 6-point scale mean?

The VDA 270 scale rates odour intensity from 1 (not perceptible) to 6 (intolerable/nauseating), with 3 typically used as the acceptable limit for most automotive interior specifications.

Which standards do you follow for odour testing?

We test to VDA 270, ISO 16000-28, VW PV3900, Ford FLTM BO 131-01, ASTM E679, and EN 13725, along with other OEM-specific methods.
