BS ISO 16000-24:2018 specifies a general laboratory test method for evaluating the reduction in concentration of VOCs by sorptive building materials. This method applies to boards, wallpapers, carpets, paint products, and other building materials. The sorption of those target compound(s), i.e. VOCs, can be brought about by adsorption, absorption and chemisorption. The performance of the material, with respect to its ability to reduce the concentration of VOCs in indoor air, is evaluated by measuring area-specific reduction rate and saturation mass per area. The former directly indicates material performance with respect to VOC reduction at a point in time; the latter relates to the ability to maintain that performance.Cross References:ISO 16000-9ISO 16017-1ISO 16000-6ISO 16000-3ISO 16000-11JIS A1901VDI 3490 seriesASTM D6646ISO 6353-3JIS A1905-1ISO 554All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
