Construction products: Assessment of release of dangerous substances - Determination of emissions into indoor air; German version EN 16516:2017+A1:2020
This document specifies a horizontal reference method for the determination of emissions of regulated dangerous substances from construction products into indoor air. This method is applicable to volatile organic compounds, semi-volatile organic compounds, very volatile aldehydes and ammonia. It is based on the use of a test chamber and subsequent analysis of the organic compounds by GC-MS, HPLC, and for ammonia, subsequent analysis by spectrophotometric methods or any equivalent analytical methods (such as ion chromatography and ammonium specific electrode). NOTE 1 Supplementalinformation is given on indirect test methods (see Annex B) and on measuring very volatile organic compounds (see Annex C). NOTE 2 This European Standard describes the overall procedure and makes use of existing standards mainly by normative reference, complemented when necessary with additional or modified normative requirements.
