Development of a procedure for the analysis of the emissions of VVOCs – Results of a research project
- Since 1997, the Committee for Health-related Evaluation of Building Products (AgBB) has been developing the basis for building regulations for protection against indoor health risks that may arise when building products are used. In 2009, the AgBB decided to include relevant VVOCs in the assessment procedure. The ISO 16000-6 (2021) states that the use of the thermal desorption gas chromatography technique is appropriate for VVOCs, if adaptations are considered. However, a suitable method for the trustworthy quantification of VVOC emissions from building products and in the indoor air is still missing.
This webinar will present the results of a research project on the development of a procedure for VVOC analysis:
• identification of the gaps towards standardization
• investigations on gas standards and the suitability of chromatography columns
• investigations on sorbent combinations and water management
• validation of the method and screening of VVOC emissions from buildingSince 1997, the Committee for Health-related Evaluation of Building Products (AgBB) has been developing the basis for building regulations for protection against indoor health risks that may arise when building products are used.
