NBN ISO 12219-9:2021

This document specifies a large bag sampling method for measuring volatile organic compounds
(VOCs), formaldehyde and other carbonyl compounds which are emitted from vehicle interior parts
into the air inside road vehicles. This method is intended for evaluation of large new vehicle interior
parts, and complete assemblies. This is a screening method to compare similar car components under
similar test conditions on a routine basis.
Evaluating VOC emissions of vehicle interior parts is an important aspect of the vehicle indoor air
quality.
This document is complementary to existing standards and provides test laboratories and the
manufacturing industry with a cost-effective evaluation of vehicle interior parts. This method is only
applicable to newly manufactured vehicle parts. This method is applicable to all types of vehicles, and
vehicle products which are used as parts in the interior of vehicles.
