DIN EN ISO 16000-32:2012-08

This part of ISO 16000 specifies the requirements for investigating buildings for the presence of pollutants or other harmful factors, as basis for a subsequent sampling of suspect areas and determining the quantity and type of pollutant, which are described in other parts of ISO 16000. The results of the investigation provide the basis for assessing the building with regard to utilisation, remediation or demolition. An assessment with regard to utilisation may include hygiene and comfort parameters (e. g. for ""Building Passports""). In specific circumstances it may be expedient to to assess the indoor air quality in order to undertake an investigation. The following objectives can be achieved: - to provide instructions for a structured approach, - to gather data and information as the basis for a more detailed assessment, - to assist in the compilation of a pollutant register, - to provide legal certainty for the client and the provider.
