Product Emission Testing - Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC)

VOC testing

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) are contained in various products and due to their volatility, they can be released from these products into indoor air. VOC may lead to health risks when a significant volume is set free.

Determination of VOC release into indoor air is the purpose of emission testing and is done by simulating a model room in emission test chambers. Testing is performed according to ISO 16000 series and in EN 16516 using defined parameters like temperature, humidity and air change rate.

We are global market leader in product emission testing and accepted laboratory for a large number of requirements and labels.

VOC in the international regulatory scenario

VOC regulations, voluntary ecolabels and certification schemes for sustainable buildings define requirements for products across different industries and they may vary from country to country.

Eurofins companies’ services for product emission can guide you in the identification of the regulatory scope of compliance and voluntary certification schemes applicable to your products and the determination of a cost-effective testing plan, thereby reducing the time-to-market to ease you the access to global destinations.
