The determination is done by the use of emission test chambers (ISO 16000-9) in combination with appropriate sampling and analysis methods. Although the emission test chamber method is established since about 20 years it is still not validated. However, during the last 5 years some roundrobin tests (Wilke et al., 2009) showed good comparability for the testing in different laboratories using different test parameters. Nevertheless it was about time to Start a validation process.

Since then the emission of VOC from consumer and construction products got more and more attention. In 2001 the AgBB-scheme (AgBB: Committee for health-related evaluation of building products, 2010) was developed in Germany for a health-related evaluation of building products. The AgBB-scheme has been implemented to all “Blue Angels” but RAL-UZ 38. Therefore it was about time to include the AgBB-scheme also for this environmental label.

Some manufacturers promise a complete demineralisation of VOCs into C02 and water being not possible for most of typical indoor air pollutants. On the contrary, sometimes new substances are generated due to surface reactions, e.g. formaldehyde (Salthammer and Fuhrmann, 2007). For evaluating such products a testing system was built up at BAM enabling testing under defined, reproducible and realistic conditions. Tue VOC test gas is provided by a gas mixing system (GMS) developed at our institute (Richter, 2010). VOC gas mixtures with retraceable concentrations between 1 µg m·3 up to 1.5 mg m·3 can be produced. A gypsum board promoted as an 'air cleaner' was put in a 1 m3 emission test chamber connected with the GMS. The board was exposed to a gas mixture of four VOCs - ethyl acetate, hexanal, (+)-a-pinene and R-(+)-limonene - with gas concentrations between 600 µg m·3 and 1,440 µg m·3 for a period of 14 days.

Several investigations Show that harmful (semi-) volatile organic Compounds ((S)VOC) can emit from fumiture and building products into indoor air. Additionally, a significant impact of (S)VOC on the human health is also given (Boeglin et al., 2005). To assess the health impact and air quality, reliable and significant measurements and analytical procedures for the detection of contaminants in indoor air are necessary. Several studies show that the results from inter-Iaboratory round robin test for such (S)VOC measurements show considerable variations up to 300 % (Howard-Reed et al., 2007). Therefore standardisations of Methods for sample preparation, air sampling and for the measurement of (S)VOC emissions are important to get reproducible results. MACPoll (Metrology for Chemical pollutants in air) is one section ofthe environment call of EMRP (European Metrology Research Projekt) and aims to improve the analysis of gaseous pollutants in air. By investigate the traceability for the measurement of (S)VOC in indoor air one part of this project deals with the addressed problems.
