VOC emission test chamber with active temperature control
The Olfasense VOC emission test chamber with active temperature control allows characterization of the emissions of volatile organic compounds under precise test conditions.
The VOC emission test chamber is fully compliant with common European and international standards as well as specific automotive manufacturers’ standards.
The standard size of the chamber is 250l. Various other chamber volumes are optionally available.
For temperature control and thermal desorption, the VOC emission test chamber is built into a technologically advanced incubator from a well-known German manufacturer.
The chamber has been developed in close cooperation with experts from industry and research and can be used for a broad analytical performance spectrum via 4 heated sample ports.
Find out more below about how our VOC emission test chamber with active temperature control is used for highly accurate and affordable VOC chamber testing in different industry applications.

Chamber testing in the automotive industry
The quality of indoor air in vehicles is strongly influenced by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released from components, semi-finished products and materials used in the vehicle interior.
The Olfasense VOC emission test chamber with active temperature control allows characterization of the emissions of volatile organic compounds from these materials under precise test conditions.
The chamber is fully compliant with the requirements of PV 3942 Volkswagen Method, GS97014-3 BMW Method and PN 780 Porsche Method. It meet also all requirements of ISO 12219-4 – with the exception of the chamber size.
Standard compliance
- Fully compliant with
- GS97014-3 BMW Method (Determination of VOCs from components, semifinished products and materials)
- PN 780 Porsche Method (Interieur – Emission behavior)
- PV 3942 Volkswagen Method (Determining organic emissions from components for the passenger compartment of motor vehicles. Emission test)
- Meets all requirements of ISO 12219-4 (Determination of VOCs from vehicle interior parts and materials ) – with the exception of the chamber size
If you have additional requirements, please ask for your tailormade product solution. In case your specific test method is not listed, our application experts will be happy to confirm if the chamber meets the requirements of your testing standard. Please contact us!
Chamber testing of combustible air fresheners
Combustible air fresheners, such as scented candles, are intended to enhance the odour quality of indoor air by releasing their fragrance aromas through the candle smoke. This may lead to an increased level of volatile organic compounds (VOC), which can influence the quality of indoor air.
The European Standard EN 16738 defines a test method for the determination of these VOC emissions from combustible air fresheners. The test method is based on the operation of an emission test chamber according to ISO 16000-9.
The Olfasense VOC emission test chamber with active temperature control allows characterization of the emissions of volatile organic compounds from combustible air fresheners under precise test conditions. The chamber is fully compliant with the requirements of ISO 16000-9 and EN 16738.
Standard compliance
Fully compliant with
- EN 16738 (Emission safety of combustible air fresheners – test methods)
- ISO 16000-9 (VOC emissions from building products and furnishing)
- EN 16516 (VOC emissions from construction products)
- GEV Testing Method (VOC emissions from products for flooring installation, adhesives, and building materials)
If you have additional requirements, please ask for your tailormade product solution. In case your specific test method is not listed, our application experts will be happy to confirm if the chamber meets the requirements of your testing standard. Please contact us!
Optional extension with additional chambers
The Olfasense VOC emission test chambers are equipped with a universal base unit, which offers you the possibility to add additional chambers, also at a later stage.
This modular design allows you to configure your chamber solution individually, even if you decide to purchase only one chamber initially.
Please visit VOC emission test chamber system EK mRack or contact our experts via sales@olfasense.com to learn more about the features and benefits offered.

Testimonials
AIMPLAS decided to purchase the Olfasense emissions chamber because of its professionalism, its proximity and, above all, the knowledge it demonstrated of the requirements of automotive standards. Something very important for us. During the installation of the equipment, Olfasense helped the AIMPLAS staff to understand everything that is necessary for the correct functioning of the chamber, demonstrating once again their professionalism. Without a doubt, it was a good choice.

For iLF Magdeburg GmbH, customer service comes first. We expect the same from our suppliers. In our view, Olfasense fulfills this in a first-class manner. The support and advice as well as the reliability of the Olfasense emission chambers are the decisive factors for us, which we will continue to rely on in future projects.
Dr. Ute Holzhausen, Head Materials Analysis at iLF Magdeburg GmbH
We have been using Olfasense’s emission test chambers since market launch and we are very satisfied with both the product and the service. In our recent ISO 17025 accreditation audit, the installed emission test chambers have been successfully approved by the German accreditation body DAkkS, and are now included under the accreditation scope of Hohenstein Textile Testing Institute.
Rainer Fusenig, Assistant Head of Laboratory, Hohenstein Textile Testing Institute
DSM Coating Resins makes products used in paints and lacquers, and is driven to low VOC emissions. For our VOC measurements, we have been using Olfasense’s EK250 emission test chamber for half a year now. We are very content with both the installation and the service of Olfasense. The EK250 is robust and easy in use and it meets our expectations as we are now fully compliant with the ISO 16000-9 standard.
