Indoor air — Part 24: Performance test for evaluating the reduction of volatile organic compound concentrations by sorptive building materials
Summary
This document specifies a general laboratory test method for evaluating the reduction in concentration
of VOCs by sorptive building materials. This method applies to boards, wallpapers, carpets, paint
products, and other building materials. The sorption of those target compound(s), i.e. VOCs, can be
brought about by adsorption, absorption and chemisorption. The performance of the material, with
respect to its ability to reduce the concentration of VOCs in indoor air, is evaluated by measuring
area-specific reduction rate and saturation mass per area. The former directly indicates material
performance with respect to VOC reduction at a point in time; the latter relates to the ability to maintain
that performance.
This document is based on the test chamber method specified in ISO 16000-9.
NOTE Sampling, transport and storage of materials to be tested, and preparation of test specimens, are
described in ISO 16000-11. Air sampling and analytical methods to determine VOCs are described in ISO 16000-6
and ISO 16017-1.
