Wood-based panels - Determination of formaldehyde release - Part 3: Gas analysis method (ISO 12460-3:2015)

ISO 12460-3:2015 specifies a procedure for determination of accelerated formaldehyde release from uncoated and coated wood-based panels using the gas analysis method. The procedure is also suitable for the testing of other materials (e.g. edge bands, floor coverings, foams, foils, laminated wood products, veneered wood products, coated wood products).

Holzwerkstoffe - Bestimmung der Formaldehydabgabe - Teil 3: Gasanalyse-Verfahren (ISO 12460-3:2015)

Dieser Europäische Norm-Entwurf legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung der beschleunigten Formaldehydabgabe von Holzwerkstoffen fest. Das Verfahren ist auch zur Prüfung anderer Werkstoffe (z. B. Kantenstreifen, Fußbodenbeläge, Schäume, Folien, schichtverklebte Holzprodukte, furnierte Holzprodukte, beschichtete Holzprodukte) geeignet.

Panneaux à base de bois - Détermination du dégagement de formaldéhyde - Partie 3: Méthode d'analyse de gaz (ISO 12460-3:2015)

ISO 12460-3:2015 prescrit une procédure pour la détermination du dégagement accéléré de formaldéhyde à partir de panneaux à base de bois utilisant la méthode d'analyse de gaz. La procédure est aussi adaptée aux essais d'autres matériaux (par exemple bandes de chant, revêtements de sol, mousses, feuilles de papier décor, panneaux de particules mélaminés, produits avec placages en bois, produits en bois revêtus).

Lesne plošče - Ugotavljanje sproščanja formaldehida - 3. del: Metoda plinske analize (ISO 12460-3:2015)

Ta evropski standard določa postopek za ugotavljanje pospešenega sproščanja formaldehida iz lesnih plošč z uporabo metode plinske analize. Postopek je primeren tudi za preizkušanje drugih materialov (npr. robni trakovi, talne obloge, pene, folije, laminate).

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation on the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions related to conformity
assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the WTO principles in the Technical
Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following URL: Foreword - Supplementary information
The committee responsible for this document is ISO/TC 89, Wood-based panels.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 12460-3:2008), which has been
technically revised.
The objective of the revision was to improve the detection limit and the reproducibility of the method
with regard to boards with low formaldehyde content.
Compared to ISO 12460-3:2008, the following modifications have been made:
a) in 6.1 preparation of test pieces is described more in detail;
b) in 6.2 recommendation of maximum time 72 h after sampling for formaldehyde determination is
added;
c) in 6.4 conditioning for sampling and testing in case of dispute is added;
d) in 7.1 and 8.2.2 procedure and evaluation of third determination are modified;
e) in 7.3 use of smaller gas wash bottles and volumetric flasks to improve the sensitivity is included
as an option;
f) in 7.4.3 the use of a mixed reagent is included as an option to reduce the amounts of aqueous
solution and hence improve the sensitivity;
g) in 7.4.3 temperature of water bath increased to 60 °C
