Indoor air - Part 24: Performance test for evaluating the reduction of volatile organic compound (except formaldehyde) concentrations by sorptive building materials

This part of ISO 16000 specifies a general laboratory test method for evaluating the reduction in concentration of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) (except formaldehyde) by sorptive building materials. This method applies to boards, wallpapers, carpets, paint products, and other building materials. The sorption of VOCs (except formaldehyde) can be brought about by adsorption, absorption and chemisorption. The performance of the material, with respect to its ability to reduce the concentration of VOCs (except formaldehyde) in indoor air, is evaluated by measuring sorption flux and saturation mass per area. The former directly indicates material performance with respect to VOC reduction at a point in time; the latter relates to the ability to maintain that performance. Formaldehyde has been excluded from this part of ISO 16000 because it is difficult to obtain as a stable standard in air. This part of ISO 16000 is based on the test chamber method specified in ISO 16000-9. Sampling, transport and storage of materials to be tested, and preparation of test specimens are described in ISO 16000-11. Air sampling and analytical methods for the determination of carbonyl compounds (except formaldehyde) are described in ISO 16000-3, and those of VOCs are described in ISO 16000-6 and ISO 16017-1.

Notranji zrak - 24. del: Zmogljivostni preskus za vrednotenje zmanjšanja koncentracije hlapnih organskih spojin (razen formaldehida) z vpojnimi stavbnimi gradbenimi materiali

Ta del standarda ISO 16000 določa splošne laboratorijske preskusne metode za vrednotenje zmanjšanja koncentracije hlapnih organskih spojin (VOC) (razen formaldehida) z vpojnimi gradbenimi materiali. Ta metoda se uporablja za plošče, tapete, preproge, barve in druge gradbene materiale. Vpijanje hlapnih oranskih spojin (razen formaldehida) se lahko doseže z adsorpcijo, absorpcijo in kemisorpcijo. Učinek materiala glede na njegovo zmožnost zmanjševanja koncentracije hlapnih organskih spojin (razen formaldehida) v notranjem zraku se vrednosti z merjenjem toka vpijanja in mase nasičenosti na površino. Prvi neposredno nakazuje, kakšen je učinek materiala na zmanjševanje koncentracije hlapnih organskih spojin v nekem trenutku; slednja pa se nanaša na sposobnost izdelka, da ta učinek vzdržuje. Formaldehid je bil iz tega dela standarda ISO 16000 izključen, ker ga je iz zraka težko pridobiti v stabilni obliki. Ta del standarda ISO 16000 temelji na metodi preskusne komore, navedene v standardu ISO 16000-9. Vzorčenje, prevoz in skladiščenje materialov, ki se jih bo preskušalo, in priprava preskušancev so opisani v standardu ISO 16000-11. Vzorčenje zraka in analizne metode za ugotavljanje prisotnosti karbonilnih spojin (razen formaldehida) so opisane v standardu ISO 16000-3, tiste za hlapne organske spojine pa so opisane v standardu ISO 16000-6 in ISO 16017-1.

Introduction
Sorptive building materials have been marketed in the form of sheet and board products for removing airborne
pollutants via physical sorption or chemical reaction.
Harmonized test methods for evaluating sorptive effects are important for comparative assessment of the
performance of sorptive building materials that are used for reducing levels of indoor air contaminants.
This part of ISO 16000 specifies a test method for evaluating the performance of sorptive building materials
for reducing indoor air volatile organic compound (VOC) (except formaldehyde) concentrations over time.
The performance of sorptive building materials is evaluated by sorption flux and saturation mass per area and
is affected by a number of factors. Specific test conditions are therefore defined in this part of ISO 16000.
This part of ISO 16000 can be applied to most sorptive building materials used indoors and for VOCs
(excluding formaldehyde).
This part of ISO 16000 is based on and is complementary to the test chamber method specified in
ISO 16000-9.

building materials
1 Scope
This part of ISO 16000 specifies a general laboratory test method for evaluating the reduction in concentration
of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) (except formaldehyde) by sorptive building materials. This method
applies to boards, wallpapers, carpets, paint products, and other building materials. The sorption of VOCs
(except formaldehyde) can be brought about by adsorption, absorption and chemisorption. The performance
of the material, with respect to its ability to reduce the concentration of VOCs (except formaldehyde) in indoor
air, is evaluated by measuring sorption flux and saturation mass per area. The former directly indicates
material performance with respect to VOC reduction at a point in time; the latter relates to the ability to
maintain that performance.
Formaldehyde has been excluded from this part of ISO 16000 because it is difficult to obtain as a stable
standard in air.
This part of ISO 16000 is based on the test chamber method specified in ISO 16000-9. Sampling, transport
and storage of materials to be tested, and preparation of test specimens are described in ISO 16000-11. Air
sampling and analytical methods for the determination of carbonyl compounds (except formaldehyde) are
described in ISO 16000-3, and those of VOCs are described in ISO 16000-6 and ISO 16017-1.

5 Principle
The performance of a building material, the test material, with respect to its ability to reduce the concentration
of target VOCs (except formaldehyde) is evaluated by monitoring the reduction of the vapour concentration
inside a test chamber containing a test specimen of that material. The test includes an assessment of both the
initial performance of the material and how long that performance is maintained. Target compounds are VOCs
(except formaldehyde) detected in the test chamber inlet and outlet air.
In this test method, target compounds are spiked into the air of a test chamber containing the material under
test. The spiked air should be prepared approximately at the WHO guideline level for target compounds in
indoor air. Reference to national standards is possible if this is clearly highlighted in the test report and
certificate.
Performance is determined by monitoring the difference of the inlet and outlet concentration of the test
chamber. Testing should be continued for the half-lifetime, i.e. until the concentration of target compounds
decreases to one-half of the initial concentration under constant ventilation conditions. With this test, sorption
flux, F , and total mass per area of sorption, ρ , at the half-lifetime are determined. The measured ρ at the
m Ac Ac
half-lifetime is defined as the saturation mass per area, ρ .

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
ISO 16000-24:2009(E)
If a test material has a long-lasting target compound reduction performance (e.g. more than 28 days) and it
might take too long a time for the test, alternative methods specified in Annex A for determining ρ may be
Aa
applied.
The performance of sorptive building materials is mainly determined by the concentration of target compounds,
the mass transfer coefficient of target compounds to the surface, and the sorption characteristics of the
building materials themselves (adsorption isotherm, diffusion resistance, and so on). Therefore, the
performance test method shall specify both the concentration of target compounds and the mass transfer
coefficient associated with the sorptive building materials.
This method does not apply to materials capable of decomposing VOCs (except formaldehyde) by catalytic
reaction in the presence of ultraviolet and visible rays.
NOTE The long-term target compound reduction performance is represented by the saturation mass per area, ρ ,
Aa
and, if necessary, the lifetime of the pollutant-removing performance, t , as the subsidiary index.

6 Apparatus and materials

6.1 Test chamber, complying with with relevant specifications and requirements of ISO 16000-9 (see

ISO 16000-24:2009(E)
6.2 Sealing material for test specimens, such as aluminium foil or a tape covered with aluminium foil,
to cover the edges and the back of the test specimen, if only the surface normally directly exposed to the
indoor environment under the intended conditions of use is the subject of the test.
6.3 Air purifier or cylinder of clean air. The purifier shall ensure the supply air before being spiked with
target compounds is as clean as possible, i.e. it shall not contain any contaminants at levels greater than the
chamber background requirements. In order to prevent a rise in background concentration, an air purifier shall
be provided or a cylinder of clean air shall be used.
6.4 Supply air spiked with target compound(s). Apply a standard gas (with known target compound
concentrations) or a stable source like a target compound solution as specified in ISO 6353-3 to generate
spiked air for supply of the test chamber, at a constant concentration. The stability of the spiked
concentration(s) shall be monitored.
The spiked concentration(s) should be determined at least twice (at the beginning and end of the test).
6.5 Temperature and humidity control. Temperature shall be maintained either by installing a test
chamber in a place maintained at a required temperature, such as a constant-temperature climate chamber,
or by maintaining a required temperature in the chamber. Relative humidity shall be maintained at the required
humidity of the supply air.
6.6 Air flow meter, installed at the inlet or the outlet of the test chamber to measure the air flow rate
through the chamber.
6.7 Air sampling devices. Use the inlet and outlet air of the test chamber for sampling. When a separate
sampling port is used, sample directly from the inlet or outlet of the chamber.
If a duct or tube is used, it shall be as short as possible and maintained at the same air temperature as that in
the test chamber. Such a duct or tube shall be made of a material with a very low sorption capacity, e.g.
polytetrafluoroethylene.
The sum of sampling air flow rates shall be smaller than the air flow rate into the chamber. Sampling devices
shall comply with the specifications of ISO 16000-3 and ISO 16000-6, respectively. When the air is sampled
from the inlet, ensure the supply air flow rate remains constant.
A multiport sampling manifold may be used to provide flexibility for duplicate air sampling. A mixing chamber
between the test chamber and the manifold or between the air inlet and the test chamber can be included to
permit addition and mixing of internal standard gases with the test chamber air stream.
The exhaust from the test chamber should be ducted into a fume hood, ensuring any chemicals emitted from
the test material are isolated from the laboratory environment.
6.8 Analytical instrument. For determination of VOCs, a gas chromatograph (GC) shall be used as
specified in ISO 16000-6 and ISO 16017-1. For determination of carbonyl compounds, a high performance
liquid chromatograph (HPLC) shall also be used as specified in ISO 16000-3. Alternative devices with an
equal or better accuracy may be used.
7 Test conditions
7.1 General
The test conditions shall comply with 7.2 and 7.3. This test shall be conducted under atmospheric pressure
conditions.

Introduction
Sorptive building materials have been marketed in the form of sheet and board products for removing airborne
pollutants via physical sorption or chemical reaction.
Harmonized test methods for evaluating sorptive effects are important for comparative assessment of the
performance of sorptive building materials that are used for reducing levels of indoor air contaminants.
This part of ISO 16000 specifies a test method for evaluating the performance of sorptive building materials
for reducing indoor air volatile organic compound (VOC) (except formaldehyde) concentrations over time.
The performance of sorptive building materials is evaluated by sorption flux and saturation mass per area and
is affected by a number of factors. Specific test conditions are therefore defined in this part of ISO 16000.
This part of ISO 16000 can be applied to most sorptive building materials used indoors and for VOCs
(excluding formaldehyde).
This part of ISO 16000 is based on and is complementary to the test chamber method specified in
ISO 16000-9.

Indoor air —
Part 24:
Performance test for evaluating the reduction of volatile organic
compound (except formaldehyde) concentrations by sorptive
building materials
1 Scope
This part of ISO 16000 specifies a general laboratory test method for evaluating the reduction in concentration
of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) (except formaldehyde) by sorptive building materials. This method
applies to boards, wallpapers, carpets, paint products, and other building materials. The sorption of VOCs
(except formaldehyde) can be brought about by adsorption, absorption and chemisorption. The performance
of the material, with respect to its ability to reduce the concentration of VOCs (except formaldehyde) in indoor
air, is evaluated by measuring sorption flux and saturation mass per area. The former directly indicates
material performance with respect to VOC reduction at a point in time; the latter relates to the ability to
maintain that performance.
Formaldehyde has been excluded from this part of ISO 16000 because it is difficult to obtain as a stable
standard in air.
This part of ISO 16000 is based on the test chamber method specified in ISO 16000-9. Sampling, transport
and storage of materials to be tested, and preparation of test specimens are described in ISO 16000-11. Air
sampling and analytical methods for the determination of carbonyl compounds (except formaldehyde) are
described in ISO 16000-3, and those of VOCs are described in ISO 16000-6 and ISO 16017-1.

5 Principle
The performance of a building material, the test material, with respect to its ability to reduce the concentration
of target VOCs (except formaldehyde) is evaluated by monitoring the reduction of the vapour concentration
inside a test chamber containing a test specimen of that material. The test includes an assessment of both the
initial performance of the material and how long that performance is maintained. Target compounds are VOCs
(except formaldehyde) detected in the test chamber inlet and outlet air.
In this test method, target compounds are spiked into the air of a test chamber containing the material under
test. The spiked air should be prepared approximately at the WHO guideline level for target compounds in
indoor air. Reference to national standards is possible if this is clearly highlighted in the test report and
certificate.
Performance is determined by monitoring the difference of the inlet and outlet concentration of the test
chamber. Testing should be continued for the half-lifetime, i.e. until the concentration of target compounds
decreases to one-half of the initial concentration under constant ventilation conditions. With this test, sorption
flux, F , and total mass per area of sorption, ρ , at the half-lifetime are determined. The measured ρ at the
m Ac Ac
half-lifetime is defined as the saturation mass per area, ρ .

SIST ISO 16000-24:2013

If a test material has a long-lasting target compound reduction performance (e.g. more than 28 days) and it
might take too long a time for the test, alternative methods specified in Annex A for determining ρ may be
Aa
applied.
The performance of sorptive building materials is mainly determined by the concentration of target compounds,
the mass transfer coefficient of target compounds to the surface, and the sorption characteristics of the
building materials themselves (adsorption isotherm, diffusion resistance, and so on). Therefore, the
performance test method shall specify both the concentration of target compounds and the mass transfer
coefficient associated with the sorptive building materials.
This method does not apply to materials capable of decomposing VOCs (except formaldehyde) by catalytic
reaction in the presence of ultraviolet and visible rays.
NOTE The long-term target compound reduction performance is represented by the saturation mass per area, ρ ,
Aa
and, if necessary, the lifetime of the pollutant-removing performance, t , as the subsidiary index.

6.2 Sealing material for test specimens, such as aluminium foil or a tape covered with aluminium foil,
to cover the edges and the back of the test specimen, if only the surface normally directly exposed to the
indoor environment under the intended conditions of use is the subject of the test.
6.3 Air purifier or cylinder of clean air. The purifier shall ensure the supply air before being spiked with
target compounds is as clean as possible, i.e. it shall not contain any contaminants at levels greater than the
chamber background requirements. In order to prevent a rise in background concentration, an air purifier shall
be provided or a cylinder of clean air shall be used.
6.4 Supply air spiked with target compound(s). Apply a standard gas (with known target compound
concentrations) or a stable source like a target compound solution as specified in ISO 6353-3 to generate
spiked air for supply of the test chamber, at a constant concentration. The stability of the spiked
concentration(s) shall be monitored.
The spiked concentration(s) should be determined at least twice (at the beginning and end of the test).
6.5 Temperature and humidity control. Temperature shall be maintained either by installing a test
chamber in a place maintained at a required temperature, such as a constant-temperature climate chamber,
or by maintaining a required temperature in the chamber. Relative humidity shall be maintained at the required
humidity of the supply air.
6.6 Air flow meter, installed at the inlet or the outlet of the test chamber to measure the air flow rate
through the chamber.
6.7 Air sampling devices. Use the inlet and outlet air of the test chamber for sampling. When a separate
sampling port is used, sample directly from the inlet or outlet of the chamber.
If a duct or tube is used, it shall be as short as possible and maintained at the same air temperature as that in
the test chamber. Such a duct or tube shall be made of a material with a very low sorption capacity, e.g.
polytetrafluoroethylene.
The sum of sampling air flow rates shall be smaller than the air flow rate into the chamber. Sampling devices
shall comply with the specifications of ISO 16000-3 and ISO 16000-6, respectively. When the air is sampled
from the inlet, ensure the supply air flow rate remains constant.
A multiport sampling manifold may be used to provide flexibility for duplicate air sampling. A mixing chamber
between the test chamber and the manifold or between the air inlet and the test chamber can be included to
permit addition and mixing of internal standard gases with the test chamber air stream.
The exhaust from the test chamber should be ducted into a fume hood, ensuring any chemicals emitted from
the test material are isolated from the laboratory environment.
6.8 Analytical instrument. For determination of VOCs, a gas chromatograph (GC) shall be used as
specified in ISO 16000-6 and ISO 16017-1. For determination of carbonyl compounds, a high performance
liquid chromatograph (HPLC) shall also be used

L'ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d'organismes nationaux de
normalisation (comités membres de l'ISO). L'élaboration des Normes internationales est en général confiée
aux comités techniques de l'ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude a le droit de faire partie du
comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non
gouvernementales, en liaison avec l'ISO participent également aux travaux. L'ISO collabore étroitement avec
la Commission électrotechnique internationale (CEI) en ce qui concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les Normes internationales sont rédigées conformément aux règles données dans les Directives ISO/CEI,
Partie 2.
La tâche principale des comités techniques est d'élaborer les Normes internationales. Les projets de Normes
internationales adoptés par les comités techniques sont soumis aux comités membres pour vote. Leur
publication comme Normes internationales requiert l'approbation de 75 % au moins des comités membres
votants.

Introduction
Les matériaux de construction sorptifs ont fait l'objet d'une diffusion sous forme de produits en tôle et en
planche servant à éliminer les polluants aériens par sorption physique ou par réaction chimique.
La normalisation des méthodes d'essai relatives à l'évaluation des effets sorptifs est essentielle pour effectuer
une analyse comparative des performances des matériaux de construction sorptifs utilisés pour réduire les
niveaux des contaminants dans l'air intérieur.
La présente partie de l'ISO 16000 spécifie une méthode d'essai pour l'évaluation des performances des
matériaux de construction sorptifs en matière de réduction des concentrations en composés organiques
volatils (COV) (hors formaldéhyde) dans l'air intérieur dans le temps.
La performance des matériaux de construction sorptifs est évaluée par flux de sorption et masse surfacique
de saturation et est affectée par plusieurs facteurs. Des conditions d'essai spécifiques sont par conséquent
définies dans la présente partie de l'ISO 16000.
La présente partie de l'ISO 16000 peut s'appliquer à la majorité des matériaux de construction sorptifs utilisés
en intérieur ainsi qu'aux COV (à l'exception du formaldéhyde).
La présente partie de l'ISO 16000 est basée sur, et est complémentaire de, la méthode de la chambre d'essai
spécifiée dans l'ISO 16000-9.

Partie 24:
Essai de performance pour l'évaluation de la réduction
des concentrations en composés organiques volatils
(sauf formaldéhyde) par des matériaux de construction sorptifs
1 Domaine d'application
La présente partie de l'ISO 16000 spécifie une méthode générale d'essai de laboratoire en vue de l'évaluation
de la réduction des concentrations en composés organiques volatils (COV) (sauf formaldéhyde) grâce à
l'utilisation de matériaux de construction sorptifs. Cette méthode s'applique aux planches, papiers peints, tapis,
produits de peinture et autres matériaux de construction. La sorption de COV (sauf formaldéhyde) peut être
réalisée par adsorption, absorption et chimisorption. La performance du matériau, au regard de sa capacité de
réduction de la concentration en COV (sauf formaldéhyde) en air intérieur, est évaluée par flux de sorption et
masse surfacique de saturation. Le premier indique directement la performance d'un matériau en fonction de
la réduction de la concentration en COV à un instant donné; la dernière indique la capacité d'un produit à
maintenir cette performance.
Le formaldéhyde a été exclu de la présente partie de l'ISO 16000 car il est difficile de l'obtenir à une
concentration stable dans l'air.
La présente partie de l'ISO 16000 est basée sur la méthode de la chambre d'essai telle que spécifiée dans
l'ISO 16000-9. L'échantillonnage, le transport et le stockage des matériaux à soumettre à essai, ainsi que la
préparation des éprouvettes pour essai, sont spécifiés dans l'ISO 16000-11. L'échantillonnage de l'air et les
méthodes d'analyse en vue de la détermination des composés carbonylés (sauf formaldéhyde) sont décrits
dans l'ISO 16000-3 et, pour les COV, dans l'ISO 16000-6 et l'ISO 16017-1.

ISO 16000-24:2009(F)
5 Principe
La performance d'un matériau de construction, le matériau d'essai, par rapport à sa capacité à réduire la
concentration en COV cibles (hors formaldéhyde) est évaluée en surveillant la réduction de la concentration
en vapeur à l'intérieur d'une chambre d'essai contenant une éprouvette de ce matériau d'essai. L'essai
comprend une évaluation de la performance initiale du matériau ainsi que de la durée pendant laquelle la
performance est maintenue. Les composé cibles sont les COV (hors formaldéhyde) détectés dans l'air entrant
et sortant de la chambre d’essai.
Dans cette méthode d'essai, une chambre d'essai contenant le matériau soumis à essai est alimentée avec
de l'air marqué en composés cibles. Il convient de préparer l'air marqué approximativement au niveau de
référence de l'OMS pour les composés cibles dans l'air intérieur. Il est possible de se référer aux normes
nationales si le rapport et le certificat d'essai l'indiquent clairement.
La performance est déterminée en observant la différence de concentration en COV cibles entre l'entrée et la
sortie de la chambre d'essai. Il convient de continuer l'essai pendant la moitié de la durée de vie, c'est-à-dire
jusqu'à ce que la concentration en composés cibles soit réduite à la moitié de celle constatée au début de
l'essai dans des conditions de ventilation constantes. Cet essai permet de déterminer le flux de sorption, F ,
m
et la masse surfacique totale de sorption, ρ , à la moitié de la durée de vie. La valeur ρ mesurée à la moitié
Ac Ac
de la durée de vie est définie comme la masse surfacique de saturation, ρ .
Aa
Si la performance d'un matériau d'essai, en matière de réduction de la concentration en composés cibles, se
confirme pendant plus de 28 jours, il est possible d'appliquer d'autres méthodes, spécifiées dans l'Annexe A,
pour la détermination de ρ .
Aa
Les performances des matériaux de construction sorptifs sont déterminées en grande partie par la
concentration en composés cibles, le coefficient de transfert massique des composés cibles à leur surface,
ainsi que les caractéristiques de sorption des matériaux de construction (isotherme d'adsorption, résistance à
la diffusion, etc.). De ce fait, la méthode d'essai relative aux performances doit spécifier la concentration en
composés cibles et le coefficient de transfert massique associés au matériau de construction sorptif.
Cette méthode ne s'applique pas aux matériaux capables de décomposer les COV (hors formaldéhyde) par
réaction catalytique en présence de rayons ultraviolets et visibles.
NOTE La performance longue durée en matière de réduction de la concentration des composés cibles est
représentée par la masse surfacique de saturation, ρ , avec, si nécessaire, la durée de vie de la performance
Aa
d'élimination des polluants, t , en indicateur secondaire.

6 Appareillage
Appareillage usuel de laboratoire, et en particulier ce qui suit.
6.1 Chambre d'essai, conforme aux spécifications et exigences correspondantes de l'ISO 16000-9 (voir la
Figure 1). Aucun retour du flux d'air de la sortie vers l'entrée ne doit être possible.
6.2 Matériau d'étanchéité pour les éprouvettes pour essai, tel qu'une feuille d'aluminium ou un ruban
adhésif recouvert d'une feuille d'aluminium doivent être utilisés pour recouvrir les bords et l'arrière de
l'éprouvette pour essai, si l'essai porte uniquement sur la surface normalement directement exposée à
l'environnement intérieur dans les conditions d'utilisation prévues.
6.3 Purificateur d'air ou de l'air propre en cylindre. Le purificateur doit permettre d'assurer que l'air
d'alimentation, avant d'être marqué aux composés cibles, est le plus propre possible, c'est-à-dire qu'il ne
contient pas de polluants à des niveaux qui dépassent ceux spécifiés pour la concentration de fond de la
chambre d'essai. Afin d'empêcher toute augmentation de la concentration de fond, un purificateur d'air doit
être fourni ou bien de l'air propre en cylindre doit être utilisé.
