Find and commission the right testing lab for your emission test

In emission tests, testing laboratories examine whether and to what extent products and materials release potentially harmful substances. This applies, for example, to building products such as floor coverings, wood-based materials, adhesives, paints and varnishes. A common procedure for emission tests is the so-called… test chamber procedure. In this method, the test laboratory places the test piece to be tested in an emission test chamber in which certain climatic conditions are simulated. Within a specified period of time, for example 28 days, an emission measurement is then carried out to determine the concentration of certain harmful substances in the air. An important standard for emission tests is DIN EN ISO 16000-9 (Determination of the emission of volatile organic compounds from building products and furnishings). Read more Hide
