TIS 01204-00232 Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC)

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are chemicals that are emitted as gases from certain solids or liquids. Some of these contain various chemicals that cause short- and long-term adverse health effects. Concentrations of many volatile organic compounds are consistently higher indoors than outdoors. Volatile organic compounds are gases emitted into the air from products or processes. Some are dangerous enough to cause cancer. It can also react with other gases and form other air pollutants after mixing with the air.

The main indoor sources of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are building materials such as paints, paint removers, varnishes and polishes, sealants, adhesives, flooring, carpets, and pressed wood products. Cigarette smoke is also a significant source of VOCs. When products containing VOCs are used in enclosed spaces, such as vehicles, adequate ventilation is essential.

TIS 01204-00232 Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) standard has been prepared within the scope of Toyota security concept, which is offered as a standard and is a security technologies package. This standard defines the test method for volatile organic compound sources that are mainly used or formed in automobile interiors.

During these tests, highly sensitive laboratory analysis techniques such as gas chromatography and mass spectrometry are applied. Following the TIS 01204-00232 standard test procedures, even the smallest traces of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the air are determined and measured. For this purpose, material samples are placed in test chambers made of stainless steel, and typical indoor climates are simulated in these test chambers. During the test, the air inside the chamber is completely replaced every 2 hours. The temperature is maintained at 23 degrees Celsius and the relative humidity of the incoming air is kept at 50 percent. Measurements are taken to determine the carcinogenic properties of volatile organic compounds and the concentrations of semi-volatile organic compounds.

Meanwhile, many man-made volatile organic compounds come from vehicle exhaust. Volatile organic compounds from consumer solvents have the most impact on indoor air quality.

Our organization also provides volatile organic compounds (VOC) testing services within the scope of TIS 01204-00232 standard, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it provides for businesses in various sectors.
