It does not include details on recording building characteristics or field inspections by qualified professionals which have to take place prior to any microbiological measurement. This part of ISO 16000 is not applicable to a detailed description of the building physics- and building-engineering-related procedures applicable to field inspections. The methods and procedures presented do not allow quantitative exposure assessment with regard to the room occupants. The application of this part of ISO 16000 presupposes the knowledge of ISO 16000-1.
