Indoor air - Part 10: Determination of the emission of volatile organic compounds from building products and furnishing - emission test cell method (ISO 16000-10:2006, IDT)
This Malaysian Standard specifies a general laboratory test method for determination of the area specific emission rate of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from newly produced building products or furnishing under defined climate conditions. The method can in principle also be applied to aged products. The emission data obtained can be used to calculate concentrations in a model room.
According to the definition of an emission test cell, it is also possible to perform non-destructive emission measurements on building products on-site in buildings. However, the procedure for such measurements is not described in this part of MS ISO 16000.
