ISO 12219-10:2021(E)
Introduction

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are widely used in industry and can be emitted by many every-day

products and materials. They have attracted much attention in recent years because of their impact

on cabin air quality. After homes and workplaces, people spend a lot of time in their vehicles. It is

important to determine the material emissions of interior parts and to reduce them to an acceptable

level. Therefore, it is important to get comprehensive and reliable information about the types of

organic compounds in the interior air of vehicles and also their concentrations.

This document outlines a method of measuring the types and levels of VOCs in vehicle cabin air under

controlled conditions. It describes requirements for a whole vehicle test chamber and a test protocol.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 12219-10:2021(E)
Interior air of road vehicles —
Part 10:
Whole vehicle test chamber — Specification and methods
for the determination of volatile organic compounds in
cabin interiors — Trucks and buses
1 Scope

This document describes and specifies the whole vehicle test chamber, the vapour sampling

assembly and the operating conditions for the determination of volatile organic compounds (VOCs;

for more information see Annex E), and carbonyl compounds in vehicle cabin air. There are three

measurements performed: one (for VOCs and carbonyl compounds) during the simulation of ambient

conditions (ambient mode) at standard conditions of 23 °C with no air exchange; a second only for

the measurement of formaldehyde at elevated temperatures (parking mode); and a third for VOCs

and carbonyl compounds simulating driving after the vehicle has been parked in the sun starting at

elevated temperatures (driving mode). For the simulation of the mean sun irradiation, fixed irradiation

in the whole vehicle test chamber is employed.

The VOC method is valid for measurement of non-polar and slightly polar VOCs in a concentration range

of sub-micrograms per cubic metre up to several milligrams per cubic metre. Using the principles

described in this method, some semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOC) can also be analysed.

®1)

Compatible compounds are those which can be trapped and released from the Tenax TA sorbent

tubes described in ISO 16000-6, which includes VOCs ranging in volatility from n-C6 to n-C16.

The sampling and analysis procedure for formaldehyde and other carbonyl compounds is performed

by collecting air on to cartridges coated with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) and subsequent

analysis by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with detection by ultraviolet absorption.

Formaldehyde and other carbonyl compounds can be determined in the approximate concentration

3 3
range 1 μg/m to 1 mg/m .

This method applicable to trucks and buses, as defined in ISO 3833:1977 3.1.1 to 3.1.6.

This document describes:
a) Transport and storage of the test vehicle until the start of the test;

b) Conditioning of the surroundings of the test vehicle and the test vehicle itself as well as the whole

vehicle test chamber;
c) Conditioning of the test vehicle prior to measurements;
d) Simulation of ambient air conditions (ambient mode);
e) Formaldehyde sampling at elevated temperatures (parking mode);

f) Simulation of driving after the test vehicle has been parked in the sun (driving mode).

1) Tenax TA is the trade name of a product supplied by Buchem. This information is given for the convenience of

users of this document and does not constitute an endorsement by ISO of the product named. Equivalent products

may be used if thex can be shown to lead to the same results.

document.]
4 Apparatus and materials
4.1 General

The whole vehicle test chamber is big enough to house the test vehicle completely. An air conditioning

system is installed to allow standardized air conditions for a temperature of 23 °C ± 2 °C, humidity

of 50 % RH ± 10 % RH. A solar radiator system is installed to heat the test vehicle cabin to a defined

temperature (see also Figure 1).
4.2 Heating radiator

Infrared radiator, halogen radiator or other radiators (simulating sunlight). The heating radiators used

shall be powered to maintain a temperature of 40°C ± 2 °C for trucks and 35°C ± 2 °C for buses.

Position the heating radiators on the roof. There shall be no heating radiators shining from the side.

Take care not to have too short a distance between radiator and surface in order to avoid hot spots.

4.3 Sampling trains
4.3.1 Sampling in the test vehicle

Four sampling trains are employed: two for the VOC measurements in parallel and two for the carbonyl

compound measurements in parallel in the test vehicle (to check the repeatability) (see ISO 16000-3 for

carbonyl compounds and ISO 16000-6 or ISO 16017-1 for VOCs).
© ISO 2021 – All rights reserved PROOF/ÉPREUVE 3
---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
ISO 12219-10:2021(E)

There is one sampling line with a manifold for the division of the sampling flow outside the test vehicle

(see 4.3.3). It consists of the probe, the sampling line (heated, if necessary), the sorbent tube for VOC or

the DNPH cartridge for carbonyl compound sampling respectively, the gas meters and the pumps.

All sampling trains shall be checked for leaks and shall have a maximum vacuum decay rate of 30 kPa

for an average time of 10 s. For the leak check, the nozzle shall be plugged. Other equivalent leak checks

can be employed.
4.3.2 Sampling in the whole vehicle test chamber

Four sampling trains are used to determine the background concentration in the whole vehicle test

chamber. The sampling trains are identical to those of 4.3.1, apart from the sampling line, which is much

shorter and not heated.

All sampling trains shall have a maximum vacuum decay rate of 30 kPa for an average of 10 s. The

nozzle is plugged for the leak check. Other equivalent leak checks can be employed.

4.3.3 Sampling line

Tubing, between the sampling point (probe) inside the test vehicle, via the manifold outside the test

vehicle to the VOC sorbent tubes or DNPH cartridges respectively (see Figure 1).
The sampling line shall be constructed so as described in ISO 12219-1.

The tubing should be inserted between the door and the door frame or between the door frame and the

glazing and should be sufficiently non-compressible to ensure an unimpeded flow of air.

The second sampling line [tubing, between the sampling point (probe) in the whole vehicle test chamber

in the vicinity of the test vehicle (see 6.1 b)) and the manifold and to the VOC sorbent tubes or DNPH

cartridges, respectively is identical to that described in the preceding, but no heating is necessary. This

second sampling line is needed to monitor the background analyte concentration of the whole vehicle

test chamber.
4.4 Analytical equipment and materials

The analytical equipment used for the determination of VOCs and carbonyl compounds or formaldehyde

alone shall be in accordance with ISO 16000-6 (VOCs) or ISO 16000-3 (carbonyl compounds),

respectively.

It shall be proven for the VOC sorbent tubes and the DNPH cartridges that there is no breakthrough.

This can be identified by a back-up sorbent tube which is analysed separately (see ISO 16017-1).

4.5 Test vehicle

A new vehicle (i.e. minimum mileage after vehicle manufacture and within 28 d ± 5 d after the

completion of manufacture) to be tested shall have been manufactured by the normal production

process. The preferred colour of the test vehicles for the determination of the official VOC and carbonyl

compound emissions is black or a dark colour.
All manual glazing shades shall remain open.

The test vehicle shall be stored and transported under conditions preventing direct solar heating,

otherwise the vehicle shall be conditioned after arrival overnight with open doors and windows before

it is transferred into the whole vehicle test chamber. No transport waxes for protection should be used.

All transport foils or transit lacquers shall be removed carefully before the test. The test vehicle shall

not be cleaned (inside) for at least 24 h before starting the measurements.

The method specified in this documentcan also be employed for used vehicles. In this case, it is

possible that the measurement results are not identical to those obtained on a new test vehicle due to

different usage.

ISO 12219-10:2021(E)
5 Principle

A whole vehicle test chamber (see Annex A) reserved for this purpose is assembled. The air in the test

vehicle cabin is measured according to a uniform standardized programme (see Figure 1). Sampling of

VOCs and carbonyl compounds is performed for the ambient mode at 23 °C. Subsequently, formaldehyde

is determined alone under elevated temperature conditions in the parking mode (see Figure 3).

Sunshine is simulated by the use of heating radiators providing fixed irradiation for 3,5 h, after which

a third sample is taken in the driving mode. The humidity and temperature of the air inside the whole

vehicle test chamber are measured.

The VOC and carbonyl compound vapour samples are taken in the driver breathing zone and collected

on VOC sorbent tubes and DNPH cartridges. Later the samples shall be analysed in the laboratory

according to ISO 16000-6 or ISO 16000-3, respectively.

Furthermore, VOC and carbonyl compound vapour samples are taken in the whole vehicle test chamber

to determine background concentrations. Altogether, a total of eight VOC and 12 carbonyl compound

samples are required: two duplicate room temperature samplings (ambient mode) and two duplicate

elevated temperature samplings (driving mode), and the same duplicate background samples in the

whole test chamber in each of the modes as well as the two formaldehyde measurements under the

elevated temperature conditions (parking mode).

The analytical part of the overall measurement procedure is based on the use of sorbent tubes with

subsequent thermal desorption and gas chromatographic analysis for VOCs (according to ISO 16000-6)

and the use of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) cartridges for the determination of carbonyl

compounds (according to ISO 16000-3).
6 Requirements of the whole vehicle test chamber, test vehicle and
measurement procedures
6.1 Requirements for the whole vehicle test chamber

The whole vehicle test chamber with the following requirements is assembled as shown in Figure 1.

The following requirements shall be met:

a) The whole vehicle test chamber shall be large enough to accommodate the complete test vehicle.

b) The whole vehicle test chamber shall be capable of maintaining a temperature of 23 °C ± 2 °C. A

heating and ventilation system (including the adjustment of the humidity) and, if necessary, a

cooling system is necessary. The sampling point for the background concentrations in the whole test

chamber shall be more than 1 m from the side of the test vehicle passanger seat door for trucks or

passanger entrance soor closer to the front for buses and at the height of 1m from the chamber floor.

NOTE An air filter system can be used to keep the whole vehicle test chamber clean.

c) The temperature profile shall be in accordance with Figure 3.

d) Relative humidity (RH) during the ambient mode in the whole vehicle test chamber shall be

50 % RH ± 10 % RH.

e) Relative humidity RH during the parking and driving mode in the whole vehicle test chamber shall

be documented.

f) The maximum background concentration for each analyte shall not exceet 20 µg/m for each single

component and 200 µg/m for TVOCs or a maximum of 10 % of the respective measured values

(whichever is greater). If this is not met, the source of the contamination shall be identified and

removed or covered to exclude it from the test.

g) Two duplicate VOCs and tow duplicate carbonyl background samples (one during parking mode

and one during driving mode) as well as one duplicate formaldehyde background sample (parking

mode) are required. The VOC sorbent tubes and the DNPH cartridges for the VOC and carbonyl

compound sampling in the test vehicle as well as the pumps and the other sampling devices are

positioned in the whole vehicle test chamber. The air exchange rate of the whole vehicle test

chamber during the driving mode should be a minimum of twice per hour.

h) The heating radiators are fixed above the test vehicle overlapping the footprint of the cabin of the

test vehicle. The heating radiators used shall be powered to maintain a temperature of 40 °C ± 2 °C

Introduction

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are widely used in industry and can be emitted by many every-day

products and materials. They have attracted much attention in recent years because of their impact

on cabin air quality. After homes and workplaces, people spend a lot of time in their vehicles. It is

important to determine the material emissions of interior parts and to reduce them to an acceptable

level. Therefore, it is important to get comprehensive and reliable information about the types of

organic compounds in the interior air of vehicles and also their concentrations.

This part of ISO 12219 outlines a method of measuring the types and levels of VOCs in vehicle cabin

air under controlled conditions. It describes requirements for a whole vehicle test chamber and a test

protocol.

DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/DIS 12219-10:2020(E)
Interior air of road vehicles —
Part 10:
Whole vehicle test chamber — Specification and methods
for the determination of volatile organic compounds in
cabin interiors — Trucks and buses
1 Scope

This part of ISO 12219 describes and specifies the whole vehicle test chamber, the vapour sampling

assembly and the operating conditions for the determination of volatile organic compounds (VOCs),

and carbonyl compounds in vehicle cabin air. There are three measurements performed: one (for VOCs

and carbonyl compounds) during the simulation of ambient conditions (ambient mode) at standard

conditions of 23 °C with no air exchange; a second only for the measurement of formaldehyde at elevated

temperatures (parking mode); and a third for VOCs and carbonyl compounds simulating driving after

the vehicle has been parked in the sun starting at elevated temperatures (driving mode). For the

simulation of the mean sun irradiation, fixed irradiation in the whole vehicle test chamber is employed.

The VOC method is valid for measurement of non-polar and slightly polar VOCs in a concentration range

of sub-micrograms per cubic metre up to several milligrams per cubic metre. Using the principles

described in this method, some semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOC) can also be analysed.

®1)

Compatible compounds are those which can be trapped and released from the Tenax TA sorbent

tubes described in ISO 16000-6, which includes VOCs ranging in volatility from n-C6 to n-C16.

The sampling and analysis procedure for formaldehyde and other carbonyl compounds is performed

by collecting air on to cartridges coated with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) and subsequent

analysis by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with detection by ultraviolet absorption.

Formaldehyde and other carbonyl compounds can be determined in the approximate concentration

3 3
range 1 μg/m to 1 mg/m .
This method is valid for trucks and buses, as defined in ISO 3833 3.1.1 – 3.1.6.
This part of ISO 12219 describes:
a) Transport and storage of the test vehicle until the start of the test;

b) Conditioning of the surroundings of the test vehicle and the test vehicle itself as well as the whole

vehicle test chamber;
c) Conditioning of the test vehicle prior to measurements;
d) Simulation of ambient air conditions (ambient mode);
e) Formaldehyde sampling at elevated temperatures (parking mode);

f) Simulation of driving after the test vehicle has been parked in the sun (driving mode).

1) Tenax TA is the trade name of a product supplied by Buchem. This information is given for the convenience of

users of this document and does not constitute an endorsement by ISO of the product named. Equivalent products

may be used if thex can be shown to lead to the same results.

3.9
field blank

Air quality sample taken in an identical manner as the real sample, but without sucking air through the

4 Apparatus and materials
4.1 General

The whole vehicle test chamber is big enough to house the test vehicle completely. An air conditioning

system is installed to allow standardized air conditions for a temperature of 23 °C ± 2 °C, humidity

of 50 % RH ± 10 % RH. A solar radiator system is installed to heat the test vehicle cabin to a defined

temperature (see also Figure 1).
4.2 Heating radiator

Infrared radiator, halogen radiator or other radiators (simulating sunlight). The heating radiators used

shall be powered to maintain a temperature of 40°C ± 2 °C for trucks and 35°C ± 2 °C for buses.

Position the heating radiators on the roof. There shall be no heating radiators shining from the side.

Take care not to have too short a distance between radiator and surface in order to avoid hot spots.

4.3 Sampling trains
4.3.1 Sampling in the test vehicle

Four sampling trains are employed: two for the VOC measurements in parallel and two for the carbonyl

compound measurements in parallel in the test vehicle (to check the repeatability) (see ISO 16000-3 for

carbonyl compounds and ISO 16000-6 or ISO 16017-1 for VOCs).

There is one sampling line with a manifold for the division of the sampling flow outside the test vehicle

(see 4.3.3). It consists of the probe, the sampling line (heated, if necessary), the sorbent tube for VOC or

the DNPH cartridge for carbonyl compound sampling respectively, the gas meters and the pumps.

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
oSIST ISO/DIS 12219-10:2021
ISO/DIS 12219-10:2020(E)

All sampling trains shall be checked for leaks and shall have a maximum vacuum decay rate of 30 kPa

for an average time of 10 s. For the leak check, the nozzle shall be plugged. Other equivalent leak checks

can be employed.
4.3.2 Sampling in the whole vehicle test chamber

Four sampling trains are used to determine the background concentration in the whole vehicle test

chamber. The sampling trains are identical to those of 4.3.1, apart from the sampling line, which is much

shorter and not heated.

All sampling trains shall have a maximum vacuum decay rate of 30 kPa for an average of 10 s. The

nozzle is plugged for the leak check. Other equivalent leak checks can be employed.

4.3.3 Sampling line

Tubing, between the sampling point (probe) inside the test vehicle, via the manifold outside the test

vehicle to the VOC sorbent tubes or DNPH cartridges respectively (see Figure 1).
The sampling line shall be constructed so as described in ISO 12219-1.

The tubing should be inserted between the door and the door frame or between the door frame and the

glazing and should be sufficiently non-compressible to ensure an unimpeded flow of air.

The second sampling line [tubing, between the sampling point (probe) in the whole vehicle test chamber

in the vicinity of the test vehicle (see 6.1 b)) and the manifold and to the VOC sorbent tubes or DNPH

cartridges, respectively is identical to that described in the preceding, but no heating is necessary. This

second sampling line is needed to monitor the background analyte concentration of the whole vehicle

test chamber.
4.4 Analytical equipment and materials

The analytical equipment used for the determination of VOCs and carbonyl compounds or formaldehyde

alone shall be in accordance with ISO 16000-6 (VOCs) or ISO 16000-3 (carbonyl compounds),

respectively.

It shall be proven for the VOC sorbent tubes and the DNPH cartridges that there is no breakthrough.

This can be identified by a back-up sorbent tube which is analysed separately (see ISO 16017-1).

4.5 Test vehicle

A new vehicle (i.e. minimum mileage after vehicle manufacture and within 28 d ± 5 d after the

completion of manufacture) to be tested shall have been manufactured by the normal production

process. The preferred colour of the test vehicles for the determination of the official VOC and carbonyl

compound emissions is black or a dark colour.-
All manual glazing shades shall remain open.

The test vehicle shall be stored and transported under conditions preventing direct solar heating,

otherwise the vehicle shall be conditioned after arrival overnight with open doors and windows before

it is transferred into the whole vehicle test chamber. No transport waxes for protection should be used.

All transport foils or transit lacquers shall be removed carefully before the test. The test vehicle shall

not be cleaned (inside) for at least 24 h before starting the measurements.

The method specified in this part of ISO 12219 can also be employed for used vehicles. In this case, it is

possible that the measurement results are not identical to those obtained on a new test vehicle due to

different usage.

5 Principle

A whole vehicle test chamber (see Annex A) reserved for this purpose is assembled. The air in the test

vehicle cabin is measured according to a uniform standardized programme (see Figure 1). Sampling of

VOCs and carbonyl compounds is performed for the ambient mode at 23 °C. Subsequently, formaldehyde

is determined alone under elevated temperature conditions in the parking mode (see Figure 3).

Sunshine is simulated by the use of heating radiators providing fixed irradiation for 3,5 h, after which

a third sample is taken in the driving mode. The humidity and temperature of the air inside the whole

vehicle test chamber are measured.

The VOC and carbonyl compound vapour samples are taken in the driver breathing zone and collected

on VOC sorbent tubes and DNPH cartridges. Later the samples shall be analysed in the laboratory

according to ISO 16000-6 or ISO 16000-3, respectively.

Furthermore, VOC and carbonyl compound vapour samples are taken in the whole vehicle test chamber

to determine background concentrations. Altogether, a total of eight VOC and 12 carbonyl compound

samples are required: two duplicate room temperature samplings (ambient mode) and two duplicate

elevated temperature samplings (driving mode), and the same duplicate background samples in the

whole test chamber in each of the modes as well as the two formaldehyde measurements under the

elevated temperature conditions (parking mode).

The analytical part of the overall measurement procedure is based on the use of sorbent tubes with

subsequent thermal desorption and gas chromatographic analysis for VOCs (according to ISO 16000-6)

and the use of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) cartridges for the determination of carbonyl

compounds (according to ISO 16000-3).
6 Requirements of the whole vehicle test chamber, test vehicle and
measurement procedures
6.1 Requirements for the whole vehicle test chamber
