Introduction
The determination of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from building products and furnishing
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.
Studies of the emission of volatile organic compounds from building products or furnishing in test chambers
or cells require proper handling of the product prior to testing and during the testing period.
The method can in principle be used for most building products and furnishings used indoors.
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.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminology databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at https:// www .iso .org/ obp
— IEC Electropedia: available at https:// www .electropedia .org/
3.1
solid product
resilient or rigid product whose properties meet user-specifications
directly without a transition phase, e.g. curing or drying
EXAMPLE 1 Examples of resilient products are several insulation products, flexible flooring and wall coverings.
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.

ISO 16000-11:2024(en)
3.2
liquid product
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 to entry: 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 to entry: Some liquid products need the addition of water before they can be applied.
3.3
combined product
product formed on-site by the combination of more than one solid product
(3.1) or liquid product (3.2)
EXAMPLE Examples are glued applications such as floor and wall coverings that are fixed on the site on surfaces
using adhesives.
Note 1 to entry: When liquid products as paints, oils and waxes are spread on an absorbing surface such as wood and
gypsum board, 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. The dates of sample manufacture and sample collection shall be recorded. Product
samples can also be collected from retail stores.
[1]
NOTE An example of a sampling report is given in EN 16516 .
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.
The product shall arrive in the laboratory within 14 days of sampling. If it takes longer than this, the time
shall be recorded in the test report.
NOTE Transportation of collected samples can affect the emission characteristics of the product. The possible
effects of temperature and humidity are of particular concern.
4.3 Sample description
The sample shall be labelled with the details of the type of product, week of manufacture (if known) and/
or any identification numbers, such as the batch numbers, as specified in ISO 16000-9:2024, Clause 15 and
ISO 16000-10.
4.4 Storage of the sample prior to starting the testing
In many cases, it can be necessary to store the sample in the laboratory before starting the test. The sample
shall be kept in its package, see 4.2, and stored at normal indoor conditions during any period of storage.

ISO 16000-11:2024(en)
Storage can affect the emission properties due to ageing of the sample. It is recommended to minimize the
storage time of the sample prior to preparation of the test specimen.
Testing shall begin within eight weeks of sampling provided that the sample remains in the specified
packaging while stored at the laboratory. Wet-applied products that are shipped in a sealed container (e.g.
can, cartridge) shall be tested within four months of sampling.
5 Preparation of test specimens
The dimensions of the test specimen depend on the selected test scenario and chamber size.
The preparation of test specimens of different product classes is prescribed in Annexes A, B and C. 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 be treated in accordance with ISO 16000-9.
NOTE 1 Some products (e.g. paint products) can require preconditioning prior to placing into a test chamber or
emission cell.
NOTE 2 This document does not cover all types of construction materials and furnishings. Additional test methods
for products are described in References [9], [10], [11] and [12].
The preparation of test specimens for the determination of emissions from cut edges is described in Annex D.

Discard one metre, 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 or sales unit of the product to the testing laboratory.
Boards are transported in the normal manufacturer’s 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.
