ISO 16000-10:2006规定了一种通用的实验室测试方法，用于确定新生产的建筑产品或在确定的气候条件下提供的挥发性有机化合物（VOC）的面积特定排放率。该方法原则上也适用于老化产品。获得的排放数据可用于计算模型室中的浓度。 根据排放测试单元的定义，还可以对建筑物现场的建筑产品进行非破坏性排放测量。然而，ISO 16000-10:2006中没有描述这种测量的过程。描述发射测试电池的示例。 ISO 16000-10:2006也适用于木质面板等建筑产品，以确定甲醛的排放率

ISO 16000-10:2006 specifies a general laboratory test method for determination of the area specific emission rate of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from newly produced building products or furnishing under defined climate conditions. The method can also, in principle, be applied to aged products. The emission data obtained can be used to calculate concentrations in a model room. According to the definition of an emission test cell, it is also possible to perform non-destructive emission measurements on building products on-site in buildings. However, the procedure for such measurements is not described in ISO 16000-10:2006. An example of an emission test cell is described. ISO 16000-10:2006 is also applicable to wood-based panels and other building products, in order to determine the emission rate of formaldehyde.
