Construction products - Assessment of release of dangerous substances - Determination of emissions into indoor air
This Technical Specification 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 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 (Annex B) and on measuring very volatile organic compounds (see informative Annex C).
NOTE 2 This Technical Specification 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 von Emissionen in die Innenraumluft

Das Verfahren ist für flüchtige organische Verbindungen, schwerflüchtige organische Verbindungen und flüchtige Aldehyde anwendbar. Es beruht auf der Verwendung einer Prüfkammer und der nachfolgenden Analyse der organischen Ver¬bindungen mittels GC MS oder HPLC.
ANMERKUNG 1 Es werden zusätzliche Informationen über indirekte Prüfverfahren (im Anhang B) und über die Messung leichtflüchtiger organischer Verbindungen (im informativen Anhang C) gegeben.
ANMERKUNG 2 Diese Technische Spezifikation beschreibt das Gesamtverfahren und zieht bestehende Normen, hauptsächlich durch normative Verweisungen, heran, soweit erforderlichen mit zusätzlichen oder modifizierten normativen Festlegungen.
Produits de construction - Détermination des émissions de substances dangereuses - Détermination des émissions dans l'air intérieur

Foreword
This document (CEN/TS 16516:2013) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 351 “Construction
products - Assessment of release of dangerous substances”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following
countries are bound to announce this Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus,
Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany,
Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland,
Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.
Introduction
This Technical Specification was developed in the frame of the Mandate M/366 "Development of horizontal
standardized assessment methods for harmonised approaches relating to dangerous substances under the
Construction Products Regulation (CPR)" addressing the preparation of horizontal measurement/test methods
for the determination of emission of regulated dangerous substances from construction products into indoor
air. This mandate is a complement to the product mandates granted by the European Commission to CEN
under the Construction Products Regulation. The harmonised products standards (hEN) developed in CEN
under mandates from the European Commission specify construction product(s) as put on the market and
address their intended conditions of use.
This Technical Specification has gone through a robustness validation for identifying how small changes in
specific testing parameters can influence the test result. This study also delivered data on repeatability within
one testing laboratory (see Annex A). It is planned to convert the TS into an EN standard immediately after
publication of this TS taking into account any relevant information provided during that process. This may
include data from further round robin tests.
It is vital that such information is clearly linked to a specified product in a product standard. The responsibility
of product specification is with the product TCs, as described in CEN/TR 16496. This determination of
emission into indoor air is to be carried out on products under their intended conditions of use. The intended
use of a construction product is generally specified in the corresponding harmonised product standard. The
specific emission rates determined using this Technical Specification are associated with application of the
product in a defined European Reference Room under specified climate (temperature and humidity) and
ventilation conditions. A refe
