Indoor air - Part 11: Determination of the emission of volatile organic compounds from building products and furnishing - Sampling, storage of samples and preparation of test specimens (ISO 16000-11:2006)

Studies of the emission of volatile organic compounds from unused building products or furnishing in test chambers or cells require proper handling of the product prior to testing, and during the testing period. This part of ISO 16000 defines three types of building products or furnishing: solid, liquid and combined. For each type, specifications are given for the sampling procedures, transport conditions, storage, and substrate used that can affect emissions of volatile organic compounds. For individual products, the preparation of a test specimen for each type is prescribed.

Innenraumluftverunreinigungen - Teil 11: Bestimmung der Emission von flüchtigen organischen Verbindungen aus Bauprodukten und Einrichtungsgegenständen - Probenahme, Lagerung der Proben und Vorbereitung der Prüfstücke (ISO 16000-11:2006)

Emissionsuntersuchungen von flüchtigen organischen Verbindungen aus ungebrauchten Bauprodukten oder Einrichtungsgegenständen in Prüfkammern oder Prüfzellen setzen eine sorgfältige Behandlung der Prüfstücke vor und während der Prüfung voraus.
Dieser Teil der ISO 16000 definiert drei Typen von Bauprodukten oder Einrichtungsgegenständen: feste, flüssige und kombinierte. Für jeden Produkttyp werden Angaben zu den Probenahmeverfahren, den Transportbedingungen, der Lagerung und den eingesetzten Trägermaterialien, die die Emissionen der flüchtigen organischen Verbindungen beeinflussen können, gemacht. Für einzelne Produkte wird die Vorbereitung des Prüfstückes für jeden Produkttyp beschrieben.
ANMERKUNG   In Abhängigkeit von der Inhomogenität des Produktes, können Messungen an verschiedenen Prüfstücken notwendig sein, um die spezifische Emissionsrate zu bestimmen.

Air intérieur - Partie 11: Dosage de l'émission de composés organiques volatils de produits de construction et d'objets d'équipement - Echantillonnage, conservation des échantillons et préparation d'échantillons pour essai (ISO 16000-11:2006)

Les études des émissions de composés organiques volatils provenant de produits de construction non utilisés ou d'objets d'équipement, dans des chambres ou des cellules d'essai, nécessitent une manipulation correcte du produit avant l'essai et pendant la période d'essai.
L'ISO 16000-11:2006 définit trois types de produits de construction ou d'objets d'équipement, sous forme solide, liquide et combinée. Le mode opératoire d'échantillonnage, les conditions de transport, le stockage et le support utilisé, susceptible d'avoir une incidence sur les émissions, sont spécifiés pour chaque type. Pour les produits individuels, la préparation d'une éprouvette d'essai pour chaque type est spécifiée.

Introduction
The determination of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from building products using emission test
chambers in conjunction with the standardised sampling, storage of samples and preparation of test
specimens has objectives such as:
⎯ to provide manufacturers, builders, and end users with emission data useful for the evaluation of the
impact of building products on the indoor air quality;
⎯ to promote the development of improved products.
The method can in principle be used for most building products used indoors.

1 Scope
Studies of the emission of volatile organic compounds from unused building products or furnishing in test
chambers or cells require proper handling of the product prior to testing, and during the testing period.
This part of ISO 16000 defines three types of building products or furnishing: solid, liquid and combined. For
each type, specifications are given for the sampling procedures, transport conditions, storage, and substrate
used that can affect emissions of volatile organic compounds. For individual products, the preparation of a test
specimen for each type is prescribed.
NOTE Depending on the non-homogeneity of the product, it can be necessary to make measurements on different
test specimens to determine the specific emission rate.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 16000-9 and ISO 16000-10, and the
following apply.
3.1
solid product
〈building product or furnishing〉 resilient or rigid product whose properties meet user-specifications directly
without a transition phase, e.g. curing or drying
EXAMPLE 1 Examples of resilient products are several insulation products, flexible flooring and wall coverings.
EXAMPLE 2 Examples of rigid products are tiles, parquets, laminated floorings, wall construction products, such as
chip- and gypsum boards, wood panels, ceiling materials, acoustic panels, and doors etc.
3.2
liquid product
〈building product or furnishing〉 product whose properties meet the user-specifications after a transition phase,
e.g. curing or drying
EXAMPLE Examples of liquid products are paints, varnishes, oils, waxes, levelling compounds, plasters, mortars,
concrete, adhesives, sealants, caulks, putties, and surface coatings.
NOTE 1 Liquid products can have a wide range of viscosity and are supplied to the user in containers, such as cans,
tubes, bottles, and sacks and are applied on the site.
NOTE 2 Some liquid products need the addition of water before they can be applied.
3.3
combined product
〈building product or furnishing〉 combined product formed on-site by the combination of more than one solid or
liquid product
EXAMPLE Examples are glued applications such as floor and wall coverings that are fixed on the site on surfaces
using adhesives.
NOTE When liquid products as paints, oils and waxes are spread on an absorbing surface such as wood and
gypsum board etc, the systems are considered to be combined.
4 Sampling the product and transport and storage of sample
4.1 Sampling of the product to be tested
Product samples collected at the point of manufacture shall be taken as soon as possible after the normal
manufacturing process. Product samples can also be collected from retail stores.
4.2 Sample packaging and transport
Samples shall be thoroughly protected from chemical contamination or any physical exposure, e.g. heat, light
and humidity.
For solid products, this can usually be achieved by wrapping each specimen separately in aluminium foil and
in a polyethylene bag or alternatively, in aluminised packaging lined with polyethylene or clear polyvinyl
fluoride film. Liquid products shall be shipped in unopened cans, tubes, etc.
NOTE Transportation of collected samples can affect the emission characteristics of the product. The possible effects
of temperature and humidity are of particular concern.

Introduction
The determination of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from building products using emission test
chambers in conjunction with the standardised sampling, storage of samples and preparation of test
specimens has objectives such as:
⎯ to provide manufacturers, builders, and end users with emission data useful for the evaluation of the
impact of building products on the indoor air quality;
⎯ to promote the development of improved products.
The method can in principle be used for most building products used indoors.

Indoor air —
Part 11:
Determination of the emission of volatile organic compounds
from building products and furnishing — Sampling, storage of
samples and preparation of test specimens
1 Scope
Studies of the emission of volatile organic compounds from unused building products or furnishing in test
chambers or cells require proper handling of the product prior to testing, and during the testing period.
This part of ISO 16000 defines three types of building products or furnishing: solid, liquid and combined. For
each type, specifications are given for the sampling procedures, transport conditions, storage, and substrate
used that can affect emissions of volatile organic compounds. For individual products, the preparation of a test
specimen for each type is prescribed.
NOTE Depending on the non-homogeneity of the product, it can be necessary to make measurements on different
test specimens to determine the specific emission rate.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 16000-9 and ISO 16000-10, and the
following apply.
3.1
solid product
〈building product or furnishing〉 resilient or rigid product whose properties meet user-specifications directly
without a transition phase, e.g. curing or drying
EXAMPLE 1 Examples of resilient products are several insulation products, flexible flooring and wall coverings.
EXAMPLE 2 Examples of rigid products are tiles, parquets, laminated floorings, wall construction products, such as
chip- and gypsum boards, wood panels, ceiling materials, acoustic panels, and doors etc.
3.2
liquid product
〈building product or furnishing〉 product whose properties meet the user-specifications after a transition phase,
e.g. curing or drying
EXAMPLE Examples of liquid products are paints, varnishes, oils, waxes, levelling compounds, plasters, mortars,
concrete, adhesives, sealants, caulks, putties, and surface coatings.
NOTE 1 Liquid products can have a wide range of viscosity and are supplied to the user in containers, such as cans,
tubes, bottles, and sacks and are applied on the site.
NOTE 2 Some liquid products need the addition of water before they can be applied.
3.3
combined product
〈building product or furnishing〉 combined product formed on-site by the combination of more than one solid or
liquid product
EXAMPLE Examples are glued applications such as floor and wall coverings that are fixed on the site on surfaces
using adhesives.
NOTE When liquid products as paints, oils and waxes are spread on an absorbing surface such as wood and
gypsum board etc, the systems are considered to be combined.
4 Sampling the product and transport and storage of sample
4.1 Sampling of the product to be tested
Product samples collected at the point of manufacture shall be taken as soon as possible after the normal
manufacturing process. Product samples can also be collected from retail stores.
4.2 Sample packaging and transport
Samples shall be thoroughly protected from chemical contamination or any physical exposure, e.g. heat, light
and humidity.
For solid products, this can usually be achieved by wrapping each specimen separately in aluminium foil and
in a polyethylene bag or alternatively, in aluminised packaging lined with polyethylene or clear polyvinyl
fluoride film. Liquid products shall be shipped in unopened cans, tubes, etc.
NOTE Transportation of collected samples can affect the emission characteristics of the product. The possible effects
of temperature and humidity are of particular concern.
