This method is applicable to volatile organic compounds, semi-volatile organic compounds, and very volatile aldehydes. It is based on the use of a test chamber and subsequent analysis of the organic compounds by GC-MS or HPLC.NOTE 1Supplemental information is given on indirect test methods (see Annex B) and on measuring very volatile organic compounds (see Annex C).NOTE 2This European Standard describes the overall procedure and makes use of existing standards mainly by normative reference, complemented when necessary with additional or modified normative requirements.
