ÖNORM ISO 16000-6

Issue date: 2026 03 15

Indoor air - Part 6: Determination of organic compounds (VVOC, VOC, SVOC) in indoor and test chamber air by active sampling on sorbent tubes, thermal desorption and gas chromatography using MS or MS-FID (ISO 16000-6:2021)

This document specifies a method for determining volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in indoor air and in the air of test chambers and test cells to determine emissions from products and materials used indoors (according to ISO 16000-1). The method is based on the use of sorption tubes followed by thermal desorption (TD) and gas chromato-graphic (GC) analysis using a capillary column and a mass spectrometric (MS) detector with or without an additional flame ion detector (FID). The method is suitable for measurements of most GC-compatible gaseous organic com-pounds in the mass concentration range from micrograms per cubic meter to several milligrams per cubic meter. Many highly volatile organic compounds (VVOC) and semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOC) can be analyzed depending on the sorbents used.

Frequently Asked Questions about ÖNORM ISO 16000-6

What is a "Single-User Licence"?

When you purchase a standard from the Austrian Standards webshop (e.g. ÖNORM, ISO), a single-user licence is included as standard. This entitles a single person to use the standard. A multi-user licence is required if several employees need access. It enables company-wide, legally compliant use and sharing of standards.

How can I get involved in the further development of this standard?

Standardization thrives on expertise and participation. Anyone interested can play an active role in its further development – for example, by joining the relevant committee or a working group. In this way, you can help shape the content and contribute to advancing the state of the art.
