Introduction

Analysis of the core content of the standard

This standard specifies a method system for determining the release of VOCs, TVOC, and aldehyde and ketone compounds in wood-based panels and their products using a small release chamber, including instrument configuration, test conditions, and full-process requirements for data processing.

Test ConditionsBasic ParametersAdded Appendix D Common Test Conditions
Calculation MethodRelease ConcentrationAdded 5 new algorithms including mass release rate

Key Instrument Requirements

Small Release Chamber System Must meet the following requirements:

  • Effective volume deviation ≤1%
  • Temperature control accuracy ±0.3℃
  • Background concentration TVOC ≤20μg/m³
  • Toluene recovery rate ≥80%

Sample processing specifications

Typical case: Floor samples need to be prepared after removing 50mm of the edges, and the edges must be sealed according to the load rate of 0.4m²/m³, and loading must be completed within 4 hours.

Implementation recommendations

  1. GC-MSD is preferred for VOCs analysis
  2. Temperature 23±1℃ and humidity 50±3% are recommended
  3. The first sampling requires a series of adsorption tubes to verify the penetration rate

Technology evolution background

This standard revision responds to the requirements of international standards such as EU EN 16516, and adds mass release rate calculation and stable release determination clauses, which are more in line with the evaluation needs of green building materials.
