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. ISO 16000-11 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee CEN/TC 264, Air quality, in collaboration with Technical Committee ISO/TC 146, Air quality, Subcommittee SC 6, Indoor air, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement). ISO 16000 consists of the following parts, under the general title Indoor air: Part 1: General aspects of sampling strategy Part 2: Sampling strategy for formaldehyde Part 3: Determination of formaldehyde and other carbonyl compounds Active sampling method Part 4: Determination of formaldehyde Diffusive sampling method Part 5: Measurement strategy for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) Part 6: Determination of volatile organic compounds in indoor and test chamber air by active sampling on Tenax TA sorbent, thermal desorption and gas chromatography using MS/FID Part 7: Sampling strategy for determination of airborne asbestos fibre concentrations Part 8: Determination of local mean ages of air in buildings for characterizing ventilation conditions Part 9: Determination of the emission of volatile organic compounds from building products and furnishing Emission test chamber method Part 10: Determination of the emission of volatile organic compounds from building products and furnishing Emission test cell method Part 11: Determination of the emission of volatile organic compounds from building products and furnishing Sampling, storage of samples and preparation of test specimens The following parts are under preparation: Part 12: Sampling strategy for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p- dioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzo-furans (PCDFs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) ISO 16000-11:2006(E) © ISO 2006 All rights reserved v Part 13: Determination of total (gas and particle-phase) polychlorinated dioxin-like biphenyls and polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/dibenzofurans Collection on sorbent-backed filters with high- resolution gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric analysis Part 14: Sampling strategy for nitrogen dioxide (NO2) Part 15: Measurement of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) Part 16: Detection and enumeration of moulds Sampling of moulds by filtration Part 17: Detection and enumeration of moulds Culture-based method ISO 16000-11:2006(E) vi © ISO 2006 All rights reserved 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. INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 16000-11:2006(E) © ISO 2006 All rights reserved 1 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. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

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.

The sample shall be kept in its package, see 4.2, and stored at normal indoor conditions during any period of storage. Storage may affect the emission properties due to ageing of the sample. It is recommended to minimise the storage time of the sample prior to preparation of the test specimen. 5 Preparation of test specimens The preparation of test specimens of different product classes are prescribed in the annexes. The period of time between the unpacking and preparation of the test specimen shall be as short as possible and shall be recorded. After the completion of the test specimen, it shall immediately be put in the conditioned storage in accordance with 12.3 of ISO 16000-9 and ISO 16000-10, or in the emission test chamber, or in the emission test cell. This time shall be regarded as the starting time of the emission test, i.e. t = t0.

A.2 Sampling A.2.1 Selection of samples from rolls (see Figure A.1) Dimensions in metres Key 1 sample Figure A.1 Procedure for sampling of solid products from rolls Discard one meter, or at least the outer layer, of the roll to take the sample. The sample shall have an area appropriate to the test chamber or cell. After taking the sample, it is rolled across the direction of the production roll, secured with staples, wrapped in aluminium foil, and placed in an unprinted, airtight polyethylene bag and sealed. Each bag shall contain only one sample. Not more than 1 h shall elapse from the time of taking the sample to packing it. The packed samples shall be sent to the testing laboratory with the shortest possible delay. A.2.2 Selection of samples of rigid products Send an unopened standard package of the product to the testing laboratory. ISO 16000-11:2006(E) © ISO 2006 All rights reserved 5 Boards are transported in the normal manufacturers delivery package unless the delivery package is large and impractical to handle. Then a sample may be taken from the middle of the board for more convenient transportation. In the latter case the sample is packed according to 4.2. Tiles, laminated parquets and other products assembled from pieces are transported to the laboratory for emission testing in the original package. A.3 Preparation of test specimens A.3.1 Samples from rolls (see Figure A.2) Unpack the sample and select an appropriate area of the product from the middle, if possible at least 50 cm from the edge of the short side, and take a test specimen.
