Complete Guide to ISO 16017 VOC Sampling Testing Services

Provided by Eurolab: A Leader in Laboratory Testing and Analysis

ISO 16017 is an international standard that specifies the requirements for the measurement of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in air using a flame ionization detector (FID). This standard is widely recognized and accepted as a benchmark for VOC sampling testing, ensuring accuracy, reliability, and comparability of results across different laboratories.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The ISO 16017 standard is developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which is an independent, non-governmental organization that brings together experts from around the world to develop voluntary international standards. The standard is based on widely accepted principles of metrology and laboratory testing, ensuring that it meets the needs of industries and countries worldwide.

In addition to ISO 16017, various national and international regulations govern VOC sampling testing. For instance:

  • EUs Clean Air for Europe (CAFE) initiative sets limits for VOC emissions from industrial sources.

  • The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates VOC emissions under the Clean Air Act.

  • The European Unions Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulation requires manufacturers to register substances used in their products.

    • International and National Standards

    The ISO 16017 standard is part of a suite of standards that cover various aspects of VOC sampling testing. These include:

  • ISO 16000: Determination of volatile organic compounds in indoor and outdoor air

  • ISO 16104: Determination of VOC emissions from building products

  • ASTM D5197: Standard test method for determining the emission rate of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from interior flooring products using a small-scale chamber

    • Standard Development Organizations

    Standards development organizations play a crucial role in ensuring that standards meet the needs of industries and countries worldwide. These organizations include:

  • ISO: The International Organization for Standardization

  • ASTM: American Society for Testing and Materials

  • EN: European Committee for Standardization

  • TSE: Turkish Standards Institution

    • Evolution of Standards

    Standards are constantly evolving to reflect new technologies, methods, and regulations. The ISO 16017 standard has undergone several revisions since its initial publication in 2004. These updates ensure that the standard remains relevant and effective in addressing emerging issues related to VOC sampling testing.

    Standard Numbers and Scope

    The following standard numbers and their scopes are relevant to ISO 16017 VOC Sampling testing:

  • ISO 16017:2015 (Revision of ISO 16017:2004) - Determination of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in air by gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (FID)

  • ISO 16000-1:2008 - Indoor and outdoor air - Part 1: Determination of the emission rate of VOCs from building products

  • ASTM D5197:2010 - Standard test method for determining the emission rate of VOCs from interior flooring products using a small-scale chamber

    • Standard Compliance Requirements

    Compliance with ISO 16017 is mandatory in various industries, including:

  • Construction and building materials

  • Automotive and transportation

  • Consumer goods and electronics

  • Chemical processing and manufacturing

    • Failure to comply with standard requirements can result in product recalls, reputational damage, and regulatory penalties.
