Indoor air - Part 12: Sampling strategy for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) (ISO 16000-12:2008)

ISO 16000-12:2008 specifies the planning of measurements for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) also known as polychlorinated oxanthrenes, polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in indoor air. In the case of indoor air measurements, the careful planning of sampling and the entire measurement strategy are of particular significance since the result of the measurement may have far-reaching consequences, e.g. with respect to the need for remedial action or the success of such an action.
An inappropriate measurement strategy may contribute more overall uncertainty to the measurement result than the measurement procedure itself.

Dieser Teil der ISO 16000 legt die Planung von Innenraumluftschadstoffmessungen für polychlorierte Biphenyle (PCB), polychlorierte Dibenzo-p-dioxine (PCDD, auch bekannt als polychlorierte Oxanthrene), polychlorierte Dibenzofurane (PCDF) und polycyclische aromatische Kohlenwasserstoffe (PAH) fest. Die sorgfältige Planung der Probenahme und der gesamten Messstrategie sind bei Innenraumluftuntersuchungen von besonderer Tragweite, da das Untersuchungsergebnis erhebliche Konsequenzen haben kann, so z. B. hinsichtlich eines Sanierungsbedarfs oder des Erfolgs einer Sanierung.
Eine ungeeignete Messstrategie kann zur Gesamtunsicherheit des Messergebnisses stärker beitragen als das Messverfahren selbst.

Air intérieur - Partie 12: Stratégie d'échantillonnage des polychlorobiphényles (PCB), des polychlorodibenzo-p-dioxines (PCDD), des polychlorodibenzofuranes (PCDF) et des hydrocarbures aromatiques polycycliques (HAP) (ISO 16000-12:2008)

L'ISO 16000-12:2008 spécifie la planification des mesurages des polychlorobiphényles (PCB), des polychlorodibenzo-p-dioxines (PCDD), également connues sous le nom oxanthrènes polychlorées, des polychlorodibenzofuranes (PCDF) et des hydrocarbures aromatiques polycycliques (HAP) dans l'air intérieur. Dans le cas des mesurages relatifs à l'air intérieur, une planification de l'échantillonnage élaborée avec soin ainsi que l'ensemble de la stratégie de mesure jouent un rôle particulièrement significatif étant donné que les résultats de mesure peuvent avoir des conséquences importantes, par exemple eu égard à la nécessité de mesures correctives ou au succès de telles mesures.
Une stratégie de mesure inadéquate peut contribuer à l'incertitude globale des résultats de mesure de façon plus importante que le mode opératoire de mesure lui-même.

ISO 16000-12:2008(E)
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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
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.

Introduction
ISO 16000 (all parts) specifies general requirements relating to the measurement of indoor air pollutants and
the necessary conditions to be observed before or during the sampling of individual pollutants or groups of
pollutants as well as the measurement procedures themselves (see Foreword).
Sampling of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) also known as
polychlorinated oxanthrenes, and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) in indoor air is described in
ISO 160
