Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). 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 16000-9 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

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.

1 Scope
This part of ISO 16000 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 also, in principle, be applied to aged products. The
emission data obtained can be used to calcula
