Description (English):

This document specifies a general laboratory test method for the determination of the area specific emission rate of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from samples of newly produced building products or furnishing under defined climate conditions. The method can also, in principle, be applied to samples of aged products. The emission data obtained can be used to calculate concentrations in a model room (see Table B.1). This document is applicable to various emission test chambers used for the determination of the emission of VOCs from building products or furnishing. This document is also applicable to samples of wood-based panels and other building products, in order to determine the emission rate of formaldehyde. NOTE In principle, this document can be applied to the study of any gas phase emissions from samples of building products and furnishing.

Abstract

Overview

EN ISO 16000-9:2024 - "Indoor air - Part 9: Determination of the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from samples of building products and furnishing - Emission test chamber method" - is a CEN-endorsed update to the ISO method for measuring VOC emissions from building products and furnishings. The standard defines a laboratory emission test chamber method to determine the area specific emission rate of VOCs under defined climate conditions. It applies to newly produced and, in principle, aged samples, and can also be used to determine formaldehyde emissions from wood-based panels.

Key topics and technical requirements

Scope and purpose: Standardised laboratory procedure for determining VOC emission rates to support indoor air quality evaluation and product development.
Emission test chamber system: Requirements for chamber materials, air supply, mixing, air tightness, sampling devices and sink/recovery effects.
Test conditions: Control and verification of temperature, relative humidity, supply air quality, air velocity, air change rate and area specific air flow.
Specimen handling: Sample preparation, loading, positioning and background concentration checks (links to ISO 16000-11 for sampling/transport).
Measurement and calculation: Procedures to measure chamber concentrations over time and calculate area specific emission rates and model-room concentrations (see informative Table B.1).
Quality assurance: System for QA/QC is provided (Annex A), plus chamber descriptions (Annex C) and guidance on seams/cut-edge emissions (Annex D).
Performance and reporting: Criteria for performance characteristics and required information in the test report.

Practical applications and users

Manufacturers - validate product emissions and support claims for low-emitting materials.
Test laboratories - perform standardised emission testing for compliance, certification and research.
Indoor air quality (IAQ) consultants and specifiers - assess product impact on indoor environments and select low-emission options.
Regulators and certification bodies - set limits, define compliance testing and compare products using harmonised data.
Use cases include product development, conformity assessment, indoor air exposure modelling and building material certification.

ISO 16000-3 and EN 717-1 - formaldehyde measurement and specific methods for wood-based panels
EN ISO 16000-9:2024 supersedes EN ISO 16000-9:2006

EN ISO 16000-9:2024 is essential for anyone needing reproducible, comparable VOC and formaldehyde emission data from building products using emission test chambers.
