Indoor air - Part 5: Sampling strategy for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) (ISO 16000-5:2007)

ISO 16000-5:2007 is intended as an aid to planning volatile organic compound (VOC) indoor pollution measurements. 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, for example, with regard to the need for remedial action or the success of such an action.
An inappropriate measurement strategy may contribute to the complete uncertainty of the measurement result in a larger extent than the measurement procedure itself.

Innenraumluftverunreinigungen - Teil 5: Probenahmestrategie für flüchtige organische Verbindungen (VOC) (ISO 16000-5:2007)

Dieser Teil der ISO 16000 gibt Hilfestellungen zur Planung von Messungen flüchtiger organischer Verbindungen (VOC) als Innenraumluftschadstoff. Die sorgfältige Planung der Probenahme und der gesamten Messstrategie ist 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.
In diesem Teil der ISO 16000 wird die Definition für den Innenraum entsprechend der Festlegung in der  
ISO 16000-1 verwendet.

Air intérieur - Partie 5: Stratégie d'échantillonnage pour les composés organiques volatils (COV) (ISO 16000-5:2007)

L'ISO 16000-5:2007 a pour but d'apporter une aide lors de la planification des mesurages de la pollution de l'air intérieur par des composés organiques volatils (COV). Dans le cas des mesurages de l'air intérieur, une planification de l'échantillonnage ainsi que l'ensemble de la stratégie de mesurages élaborée avec soin jouent un rôle particulièrement important, étant donné que le mesurage peut avoir des conséquences importantes, par exemple pour déterminer la nécessité de mesures correctives ou le succès de telles mesures.
Une stratégie de contrôle inappropriée peut contribuer à une incertitude générale des résultats de mesurage, dans une plus grande mesure que la procédure de mesurage elle-même.

ISO 16000-5:2007(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.
ISO 16000-5 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 146, Air quality, Subcommittee SC 6, Indoor air
and by Technical Committee CEN/TC 264, Air quality in collaboration.
ISO 16000 consists of the following parts, under the general title Indoor air:
⎯ Part 1: General aspects of sampling strategy
⎯ Part 2: Sampling strategy for formaldehyde
⎯ Part 3: Determination of formaldehyde and other carbonyl compounds — Active sampling method
⎯ Part 4: Determination of formaldehyde — Diffusive sampling method
⎯ Part 5: Sampling strategy for volatile organic compounds (VOCs)

ISO 16000-5:2007(E)
Introduction
In ISO 16000-1, general requirements relating to the measurement of indoor air pollutants and the important
conditions to be observed before or during the sampling of individual pollutants or groups of pollutants are
described.
This part of ISO 16000 describes basic aspects to be considered when working out a sampling strategy for the
measurements of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in indoor air. It is intended to be a link between
⎯ ISO 16000-1, Indoor air, General aspects of sampling strategy,
⎯ the analytical procedures described in ISO 16000-6, Indoor air, Determination of volatile organic ®
compounds in indoor air and test chamber air by active sampling on Tenax TA sorbent, thermal
desorption and gas chromatography using MS/FID, and
⎯ the more generic ISO 16017-1, Indoor, ambient and workplace air — Sampling and analysis of volatile
organic compounds by sorbent tube/thermal desorption/capillary gas chromatography — Part 1: Pumped
sampling and ISO 16017-2, Indoor, ambient and workplace air — Sampling and analysis of volatile
organic compounds by sorbent tube/thermal desorption/capillary gas chromatography — Part 2: Diffusive
sampling.
This part of ISO 16000 presupposes knowledge of ISO 16000-1.

The sampling strategy procedure described in this part of ISO 16000 is based on Guideline VDI 4300 Part 6 .
