EN 16402:2013 (E) 4 Foreword This document (EN 16402:2013) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 139 “Paints and varnishes”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by April 2014, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by April 2014. 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. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: 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. SIST EN 16402:2014



EN 16402:2013 (E) 5 Introduction This European Standard refers to the horizontal method (see CEN/TS 16516) for emission testing of construction products (developed in according to the Mandate M/366) and specifies the product specific details for architectural coatings and the product categories described in Clause 5. The Construction Products Regulation (CPR) covers only coatings that are of influence to the construction and does not include architectural coatings. Both CPR covered coatings and architectural coatings not covered by CPR may be tested according to this European Standard. The determination of emission into indoor air is to be made under the conditions of use during the service life. The determination of emissions specified in this European Standard is associated with an emission scenario which specifies the climate and ventilation conditions of the air surrounding the product in a reference room. It is not applicable for the determination of emissions during the application. A reference room is needed since it is not possible to evaluate emissions by testing in all possible use situations. The reference room dimensions and the resulting loading factors, the climate and ventilation conditions are the reference representing the general indoor air conditions. Based on the huge amount of available European experience, it was possible to identify one emission scenario and one reference room including a set of loading factors to be used. This method is using a test chamber in which emissions are generated under conditions maintained constant during the test. These conditions are selected so that the results could be expressed either as emission rates or converted to concentrations in the reference room by calculations within the ranges where such calculations are valid. This European Standard also addresses separately (see Clause 14 and informative Annex A) the simplified test methods, indirect test methods, secondary/alternative test methods that provide within their specific field of application a result comparable or correlated to the result of the reference method. Such methods can be easier to apply and/or cheaper. They can be used especially for Factory Production Control testing (FPC). The aim of this European Standard is not to develop a new testing method but to combine by normative references the use of existing standards complemented, when necessary, with additional and/or modified requirements so that architectural coatings can be evaluated under comparable conditions with regard to emission into indoor air. In particular, the horizontal test methods for emission testing of construction products (see CEN/TS 16516) as developed regarding to Mandate M/366 have been considered and will be taken into account for further revisions of this European Standard to ensure that comparable methods are applied for construction products as defined in Mandate M/366 and coatings covered by this European Standard. SIST EN 16402:2014



EN 16402:2013 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a reference method for the determination of emissions from coatings into indoor air. This method is applicable to volatile organic compounds, semi-volatile organic compounds and volatile aldehydes. NOTE This European Standard is aimed at describing the overall procedure and makes use of existing standards mainly by normative reference complemented when necessary with additional or modified normative requirements. This European Standard applies to coatings for indoor use as listed in Clause 5.It is not applicable to coatings that are applied off site or coatings that are applied on site, prior to the structure being permanently weatherproof. It is not applicable for tinting pastes that are not ready for use as coating. It is mainly aimed at determining emission data in indoor air for the purpose of voluntary labelling of products but may also be used for CE marking and associated Attestation of Conformity in the case of products that are covered by the Construction Products Regulation. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

When no preparation of the laboratory sample is required, the laboratory sample is the test sample. A test portion is removed from the test sample for the performance of the test/analysis or for the preparation of a test specimen. Note 2 to entry: The laboratory sample is the final sample from the point of view of sample collection but it is the initial sample from the point of view of the laboratory. 3.1.4 curing hardening of freshly prepared mixtures under well-defined conditions (time, temperature, humidity, etc) 3.1.5 curing time minimum time necessary for curing before an emission test will produce meaningful test results 3.2 Terms relating to emissions into indoor air and associated laboratory testing 3.2.1 emission liberation of chemical substances from a product into air Note 1 to entry: Emission may be expressed as an emitted quantity in terms of concentrations in a defined volume of air or in terms of emission rate per hour and per unit quantity of the product (i.e. per area, length, mass, volume, unit or component). SIST EN 16402:2014



EN 16402:2013 (E) 8 Note 2 to entry: The terms “emission” and “release” have fundamentally the same meaning. However, by tradition, the term “emission” is used when describing liberation of chemical substances or radiation into air and the term “release” is used when describing the liberation of chemical substances into soil or water. 3.2.2 emission test chamber enclosure with controlled operational parameters for the determination of volatile organic compounds emitted from products [SOURCE: EN ISO 16000-9:2006, 3.6] 3.2.3 intended conditions of use conditions that a product can experience during service life and that influence its release/emission behaviour Note 1 to entry: These conditions are expressed in parameters such as temperature, amount of water during exposure, wetting/drying; intended conditions of use can vary for instance as a function of time, location, orientation, geographical location, etc. For simplification, intended conditions of use are transferred into release scenarios for test purposes. 3.2.4 test sample sample, prepared from the laboratory sample, from which test portions are removed for testing or for analysis [SOURCE: IUPAC:1997, 2.5.6] 3.2.5 test portion quantity or volume removed from the test sample for analysis purposes, generally of known weight or volume [SOURCE: IUPAC:1997, 2.5.7] 3.2.6 product loading factor ratio of exposed surface area of the test specimen and the free emission test chamber volume [SOURCE: EN ISO 16000-9:2006, 3.8] Note 1 to entry: The product loading factor is often expressed as the ratio of the exposed area of the test specimen and the volume of the test facility (LA expressed in m²/m³).
