Short description
The project specifies a general laboratory test method for determination of area specific emission rate of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from newly produced building products or furnishing under defined climate conditions. This method can also, in principle, be applied to aged products. The emission data obtained can be used to calculate concentrations in a model room. Part 10 is applicable for different types of emission test cells used for the determination of volatile organic compounds from building products or furnishing. According to the use of an emission test cell, it is also possible to perform non-destructive emission measurements on building products or furnishing on-site in buildings. However, the procedure for such measurements is not described in this standard (see DIN ISO 16000-6).
