ÖNORM ISO 16000-8

Issue date: 2026 03 15

Indoor air - Part 8: Determination of local mean ages of air in buildings for characterizing ventilation conditions (ISO 16000-8:2007)

This part of ISO 16000 specifies the use of a single indicator gas to determine the local age of air as an indicator of ventilation conditions in a building. The methods include the concentration decay method and the homogeneous constant emission method. The methods described are suitable for the following air quality studies: a) Check whether the building ventilation requirements are met; b) assessing whether building ventilation is appropriate to indoor air problems; c) Characterization of the strength and distribution of the sources in the interior. In principle, the methods can be used for all interior spaces, regardless of the ventila-tion methods and the mixing of air between the zones in the measurement object. The existing ventilation conditions cannot be disturbed by the measurement.

Frequently Asked Questions about ÖNORM ISO 16000-8

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.
