ISO 16000-6 Indoor Air - Part 6: Determination of Organic Compounds (VVOC, VOC, SVOC) in Indoor and Test Room Air by Active Sampling on Sorbent Tubes, Thermal Desorption and Gas Chromatography Using MS or MS FID

In the ISO 16000-6 standard developed by the International Standards Organization (ISO), the volatile organic compounds (VOC) in the sampled indoor air and in the air to determine the emission from the products or materials used in indoor environments (conforming to the ISO 16000-1 standard) using test chambers and test cells. A test method for determining This test method uses sorbent sampling tubes with subsequent thermal desorption and gas chromatographic analysis using a mass spectrometric detector with or without a capillary column and an additional flame ionization detector.

This method is applied to the measurement of vapor-phase organic compounds at concentrations ranging from micrograms per cubic meter to several milligrams per cubic meter, most compatible with gas chromatography. Many very volatile organic compounds and semivolatile organic compounds are analyzed depending on the sorbents used.

For the purposes of the ISO 16000-6 standard,

• The term semivolatile organic compound refers to the organic compound that is separated after n-hexadecane on a gas chromatographic column specified as a 5 percent phenyl 95 percent methyl polysiloxane phase capillary gas chromatographic column.
• The concept of volatile organic compound (VOC) refers to the organic compound that is separated between n-hexane and n-hexadecane on a gas chromatographic column specified as a 5 percent phenyl 95 percent methyl polysiloxane phase capillary gas chromatographic column.
• The term very volatile organic compound refers to the organic compound that is separated before n-hexane on a gas chromatographic column designated as a 5 percent phenyl 95 percent methyl polysiloxane phase capillary gas chromatographic column.
• The concept of total volatile organic compounds, on the other hand, refers to the sum of the concentration of defined and undefined volatile organic compounds calculated in detail in the annex to the standard.

Among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it has given for businesses in various sectors, our organization, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, is on sorbent tubes, thermal desorption and gas chromatography, within the scope of ISO 16000-6 standard, using MS or MS FID. It also provides testing services for the determination of organic compounds in indoor and test room air through active sampling.
