Complete Guide to ISO 16000-2 Sampling Strategy Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab
ISO 16000-2 is an international standard for the determination of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in indoor and outdoor air. The standard provides a comprehensive framework for sampling, analysis, and reporting of VOC concentrations in various environments.
The standard is developed by ISO Technical Committee 146 (TC 146), which is responsible for standards related to air quality and ventilation. TC 146 has published several standards related to VOCs, including ISO 16000-2, which is the second part of a five-part series on indoor air quality.
International and National Standards
ISO 16000-2 is based on international standards, such as:
Additionally, national standards may also apply to specific industries or countries. For example:
Standard Development Organizations
ISO TC 146 is responsible for developing standards related to air quality and ventilation. Other organizations, such as:
also contribute to the development of standards related to VOCs.
Evolution of Standards
Standards evolve over time to reflect new technologies, research findings, or changes in regulations. For example:
Standard Numbers and Scope
ISO 16000-2 is a member of the following family of standards:
Part 1: Stationary source emissions
Part 2: Indoor air quality
Part 3: Outdoor air quality
Part 4: Personal exposure assessment
Part 5: Emissions from materials and products
Standard Compliance Requirements
Standards compliance is required for various industries, including:
Industry-specific requirements may vary depending on local regulations or international standards.
Standard-Related Regulations
Regulations related to VOCs vary globally. For example:
