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.

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.

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.

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.
