DIN ISO 12219-4:2012-04 - Draft

This part of ISO 12219 describes a qualitative and quantitative analytical method for vapour-phase volatile organic compounds (VOC) released from car trim materials under simulated real use conditions using small emission test chambers (small chamber) (reference method). Small chambers are intended to provide a transfer function to vehicle level emissions. This method is intended for evaluating new car interior trim components but can, in principle, be applied to used car components. Target compounds include VOCs (in the volatility range from n-hexane to n-hexadecane) n-hexane to n-hexadecane) and volatile carbonyls such as formaldehyde. Compounds more volatile can also be analyzed. This part of ISO 12219 provides third party test laboratories and manufacturing industry with an approach for: - identifying the effect of real use conditions on specific VOC emissions data, - comparing emissions from various assemblies with regards to specific VOC emissions, - evaluating and sorting specific assemblies regarding specific VOC emissions data, - providing specific VOC emissions data to develop and verify a correlation between material level methods and the vehicle level method, - evaluating prototype, "low-emission" assemblies during development.
