Indoor air — Part 6: Determination of organic compounds (VVOC, VOC, SVOC) in indoor and test chamber air by active sampling on sorbent tubes, thermal desorption and gas chromatography using MS or MS FID

Summary

This document specifies a method for determination of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in indoor
air and in air sampled for the determination of the emission from products or materials used in indoor
environments (according to ISO 16000-1) using test chambers and test cells. The method uses sorbent
sampling tubes with subsequent thermal desorption (TD) and gas chromatographic (GC) analysis
employing a capillary column and a mass spectrometric (MS) detector with or without an additional
flame ionisation detector (FID)[13]
.
The method is applicable to the measurement of most GC-compatible vapour-phase organic compounds
at concentrations ranging from micrograms per cubic metre to several milligrams per cubic metre.
Many very volatile organic compounds (VVOC) and semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOC) can be
analysed depending on the sorbents used.
