    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Describes a reference method for the determination of emissions from coatings into indoor air.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This European Standard specifies a reference method for the determination of emissions from coatings into indoor air. This method is applicable to volatile organic compounds, semi -volatile organic compounds and volatile aldehydes.

    NOTE This European Standard is aimed at describing the overall procedure and makes use of existing standards mainly by normative reference complemented when necessary with additional or modified normative requirements.

    This European Standard applies to coatings for indoor use as listed in Clause 5.It is not applicable to coatings that are applied off site or coatings that are applied on site, prior to the structure being permanently weatherproof. It is not applicable for tinting pastes that are not ready for use as coating.

    It is mainly aimed at determining emission data in indoor air for the purpose of voluntary labelling of products but may also be used for CE marking and associated Attestation of Conformit y in the case of products that are covered by the Construction Products Regulation.
