Adhesives — Floor covering adhesives and products for flooring installation — Assessment and classification of low volatile organic compound (VOC) products

This document specifies a reference method for the determination of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions into indoor air from floor covering adhesives and products used for flooring installation. This method is used to determine volatile organic compounds, semi-volatile organic compounds, and volatile aldehydes. It is based on the use of a test chamber and subsequent analysis of an air sample for organic compounds by GC-MS respectively HPLC. The main purpose of the test procedure is to obtain relevant performance data for the classification of flooring adhesives and products used for the installation of floor coverings with respect to low VOC emissions during the use phase of the flooring.

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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)

Introduction
Safety in use is an important criterion when selecting adhesives and installation materials. This applies
both to the user of the installation materials and to the residential user of the floor or flooring over its
entire service life. Volatile solvents with boiling points of less than 200 °C, which occur in relatively high
concentrations at the workplace during application, should not be used with respect to occupational safety.
Even those products that are referred to as "solvent-free" by the manufacturers and labelled accordingly can,
if they contain higher-boiling solvents and/or plasticisers, release volatile ingredients into the indoor air
over long periods of time (e.g. weeks, months and years), which is not compatible with today's requirements
for indoor air quality. In addition, products used in residential areas should not release long-term emissions
of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and very volatile organic compounds (VVOC) that can be detected in
the indoor air over weeks, months and sometimes years in relatively low but nevertheless health-relevant
concentrations.
This document specifies an easy reference method for testing the emission (release) of substances from floor
covering adhesives and products for flooring installation into indoor air, expressed as emission classes based
on toluene equivalents. This method uses a test chamber to determine the emissions under conditions, which
are kept constant during the test. These conditions are selected so, that the test results can be expressed
in terms of concentrations of substances in the air of the reference room. The reference room dimensions,
associated product loading factors, as well as climate and ventilation conditions are selected according to
existing standards for determining product emissions to represent the general indoor environment.
This test setup determines a material characteristic of the floor covering adhesives and products for flooring
installation and is limited to this.
NOTE 1 This document describes the overall procedure and makes use of existing standards mainly by normative
reference, complemented when necessary, with additional or modified normative requirements.
NOTE 2 No conclusions about occupational health and safety can be drawn from the testing and/or the classification
of products according to this document.
