Standard-Related Information

ISO 16000-21 is a widely recognized international standard for the sampling and analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in indoor air. This standard provides a comprehensive framework for laboratory testing, ensuring that results are accurate, reliable, and comparable across different laboratories.

The relevant standards governing ISO 16000-21 Sampling and Analysis testing include:

  • ISO 16000-1:2004 General aspects of sampling strategy for VOCs
  • ISO 16000-2:2002 Determination of the emission rates of volatile organic compounds from building products
  • ASTM D5197-10 (2015) Standard Test Method for Determining Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in Various Materials Using a Dynamic Headspace Concentration
  • EN 15267:2008 Indoor air - Determination of the emission rates of volatile organic compounds from building products
  • The international and national standards applicable to this specific laboratory test are:

  • ISO 17025:2017 General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories
  • ISO/IEC 17020:2012 Conformity assessment Requirements for the operation of various types of bodies performing inspection
  • Standard development organizations, such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), play a crucial role in ensuring that standards are up-to-date, relevant, and applicable to industry needs.

    Standard Requirements and Needs

    The ISO 16000-21 Sampling and Analysis testing service is essential for various industries, including:

  • Construction: To ensure compliance with indoor air quality regulations
  • Furniture and building materials: To evaluate VOC emissions from these products
  • Consumer goods: To assess VOC content in household items
  • This test is required to:

    1. Ensure product safety and reliability by minimizing VOC exposure risks

    2. Meet regulatory requirements for indoor air quality standards

    3. Comply with industry-specific regulations, such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification

    4. Maintain customer trust by providing accurate and reliable testing results

    Consequences of not performing this test include:

  • Non-compliance with regulatory requirements
  • Potential health risks from VOC exposure
  • Damage to brand reputation and loss of customer trust
  • Increased costs due to potential product recalls or rework
  • Test Conditions and Methodology

    The ISO 16000-21 Sampling and Analysis testing service involves the following steps:

    1. Sample collection: Using a suitable sampling method, such as dynamic headspace concentration or static chamber testing

    2. Sample preparation: Preparing the sample for analysis using techniques like gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) or Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR)

    3. Testing parameters and conditions:

    Temperature range: 20C to 30C

    Humidity range: 40 to 60

    Sample size: 1-5 liters, depending on the testing equipment used

    4. Measurement and analysis methods: GC-MS or FTIR, followed by data interpretation using specialized software

    Eurolabs laboratory technicians are trained to follow strict quality control procedures, including calibration, validation, and verification of test results.

    Test Reporting and Documentation

    The ISO 16000-21 Sampling and Analysis testing service provides a comprehensive report that includes:

  • Test results: VOC concentrations in parts per million (ppm) or micrograms per cubic meter (μg/m³)
  • Measurement uncertainty: Estimated uncertainty associated with the measurement
  • Report format: Compliant with ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ASTM D5197-10 (2015)
  • Eurolabs reporting system ensures that all test results are accurately documented, validated, and verified to meet international standards.
