(Main)Construction products: Assessment of release of dangerous substances - Determination of emissions into indoor air
Construction products: Assessment of release of dangerous substances - Determination of emissions into indoor air
This European Standard specifies a horizontal reference method for the determination of emissions of regulated dangerous substances from construction products into indoor air. This method is applicable to volatile organic compounds, semi-volatile organic compounds, and very volatile aldehydes. It is based on the use of a test chamber and subsequent analysis of the organic compounds by GC-MS or HPLC.
NOTE 1 Supplemental information is given on indirect test methods (see Annex B) and on measuring very volatile organic compounds (see Annex C).
NOTE 2 This European Standard describes the overall procedure and makes use of existing standards mainly by normative reference, complemented when necessary with additional or modified normative requirements.
Bauprodukte: Bewertung der Freisetzung von gefährlichen Stoffen - Bestimmung der Emissionen in die Innenraumluft
Dieses Dokument legt ein horizontales Referenzverfahren zur Bestimmung der Emission regulierter gefährlicher Stoffe aus Bauprodukten in die Innenraumluft fest. Das Verfahren ist für flüchtige organische Verbindungen, schwerflüchtige organische Verbindungen, leicht flüchtige Aldehyde und Ammoniak anwendbar. Es basiert auf der Nutzung einer Prüfkammer und der nachfolgenden Analyse der organischen Verbindungen anhand von GC-MS, HPLC und, im Fall von Ammoniak, der nachfolgenden Analyse durch spektrophotometrische Verfahren oder durch andere gleichwertige Analyseverfahren (wie zum Beispiel Ionenchromatographie und ammoniakspezifische Elektrode).
ANMERKUNG 1 Zusätzliche Informationen über indirekte Prüfverfahren werden in Anhang B und über die Messung leicht flüchtiger organischer Verbindungen in Anhang C gegeben.
ANMERKUNG 2 Diese Europäische Norm beschreibt das allgemeine Verfahren unter Verwendung bestehender Normen, hauptsächlich durch normative Verweisungen, die durch weitere oder modifizierte normative Festlegungen ergänzt werden, soweit erforderlich.
Produits de construction : Évaluation de l'émission de substances dangereuses - Détermination des émissions dans l'air intérieur
Le présent document décrit une méthode de référence horizontale pour la détermination des émissions de substances dangereuses réglementées générées par les produits de construction dans l’air intérieur. Cette méthode est applicable aux composés organiques volatils, aux composés organiques semi-volatils, aux aldéhydes très volatils et à l’ammoniac. Elle est basée sur l’utilisation d’une chambre d’essai et sur l’analyse ultérieure des composés organiques par chromatographie en phase gazeuse couplée à la spectrométrie de masse (CG/SM), par chromatographie liquide à haute performance (CLHP), et pour l’ammoniac, sur l’analyse ultérieure par des méthodes spectrophotométriques ou toute autre méthode analytique équivalente (telle que la chromatographie ionique ou une électrode sélective de l’ion ammonium).
NOTE 1 Des informations supplémentaires sont disponibles sur les méthodes d’essai indirectes (voir l’Annexe B) et sur la mesure des composés organiques très volatils (voir l’Annexe C).
NOTE 2 La présente Norme européenne décrit le mode opératoire global et utilise des normes existantes, principalement par référence normative, complétées, si nécessaire, par des exigences normatives supplémentaires ou modifiées.
