Indoor air - Part 7: Sampling strategy for determination of airborne asbestos fibre concentrations (ISO 16000-7:2007)

ISO 16000-7:2007 specifies procedures to be used in planning of air measurements to determine the concentrations of asbestos in indoor atmospheres. Careful planning of the measurement strategy is important, because the results can become the basis of recommendations for major building renovations, or for the return of a building to normal occupancy status after removal of asbestos-containing materials.
ISO 16000-7:2007 uses the following definition for indoor environments as specified in ISO 16000-1: dwellings having living rooms, bedrooms, do-it-yourself (DIY) rooms, recreation rooms, cellars, kitchens and bathrooms; workrooms or workplaces in buildings which are not subject to health and safety inspections in regard to air pollutants (for example, offices and sales premises); public and commercial buildings (for example, hospitals, schools, kindergartens, sports halls, libraries, restaurants and bars, theatres and other function rooms); cabins of vehicles and public transport.

Innenraumluftverunreinigungen - Teil 7: Probenahmestrategie zur Bestimmung luftgetragener Asbestfaserkonzentrationen (ISO 16000-7:2007)

In diesem Teil der ISO 16000 werden Verfahren festgelegt, die bei der Planung von Luftuntersuchungen zur Bestimmung der Asbestkonzentrationen im Innenraum verwendet werden. Die sorgfältige Planung der Messstrategie ist sehr wichtig, weil die Ergebnisse als Basis für die Empfehlungen für größere Gebäudesanierungen dienen oder für die Wiedereinstufung des Gebäudes in den Benutzbarkeitsstatus nach der Entfernung asbesthaltiger Materialien verwendet werden.
In diesem Teil der EN ISO 16000 wird die folgende Definition, so wie die in ISO 16000-1 festgelegt ist,  für den Innenraum verwendet:
   Wohnungen mit Wohn , Schlaf , Bastel , Sport , Kellerräumen, Küchen und Badezimmern;
   Arbeitsräume bzw. Arbeitsplätze in Gebäuden, die nicht im Hinblick auf Luftschadstoffe arbeitsschutz-rechtlichen Kontrollen unterliegen (so z. B. Büros und Verkaufsräume);
   öffentliche und kommerzielle Gebäude (z. B. Krankenhäuser, Altersheime, Schulen, Kindergärten, Sporthallen, Bibliotheken, Restaurants und Gaststätten, Theater und andere Veranstaltungsräume);
   Fahrgasträume von Kraftfahrzeugen und öffentliche Verkehrsmittel.

Air intérieur - Partie 7: Stratégie d'échantillonnage pour la détermination des concentrations en fibres d'amiante en suspension dans l'air (ISO 16000-7:2007)

L'ISO 16000-7:2007 spécifie les modes opératoires à employer dans la planification des mesurages de l'air pour la détermination des concentrations en amiante des atmosphères intérieures. Il est important de planifier attentivement la stratégie de mesurage car les résultats peuvent constituer la base de recommandations visant les rénovations majeures d'un bâtiment ou le retour à la normale de l'occupation d'un bâtiment après retrait des matériaux contenant de l'amiante.
L'ISO 16000-7:2007 utilise la définition des environnements intérieurs telle que spécifiée dans l'ISO 16000-1: habitations possédant des séjours, des chambres à coucher, des pièces pour le bricolage, des salles de jeu, des caves, des cuisines et des salles de bain; pièces ou lieux de travail au sein des bâtiments non soumis aux inspections d'hygiène et sécurité concernant les polluants de l'air intérieur (par exemple, bureaux, locaux commerciaux); bâtiments publics ou commerciaux (par exemple hôpitaux, écoles, jardins d'enfants, salles de sport, bibliothèques, restaurants et bars, théâtres et autres salles); habitacles des véhicules et des transports en commun.

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.

ISO 16000-7:2007(E)
Introduction
Measurements of airborne asbestos fibre concentrations in indoor atmospheres are made for several reasons
related to short-term or long-term exposure of building occupants to asbestos. One application of such
measurements is to ensure that airborne asbestos fibres dispersed in areas of a building that are undergoing
asbestos abatement do not result in unacceptable exposures of occupants in other areas of the building. After
asbestos abatement is completed, measurements are made prior to removal of containment barriers and
before safety precautions are discontinued to determine whether any residual asbestos that may remain in the
abated area could give rise to unacceptable airborne asbestos exposures when the areas are re-occupied.
The characterization and assessment of ambient air at a fixed position, whether in a building or outside, is
normally based on a series of measurements made over a long period of time, generally months or years.
However, the release of asbestos fibres into ambient air is not constant and human, or in some cases animal,
activity will result in short-term release episodes. Maintenance activity in particular will disturb asbestos-
containing materials and settled dust in buildings. Control and monitoring of these activities will determine the
[1][2]
long-term exposure levels . Workplace atmospheres are also assessed by a series of repeated
measurements, the number of measurements depending on the difference between the measured value and
the control limit.
In contrast to the strategy used for assessment of long-term asbestos fibre concentrations and personal
exposure
