Interior air of road vehicles - Part 6: Method for the determination of the emissions of semi-volatile organic compounds from vehicle interior parts and materials at higher temperature - Small chamber method

This document describes a qualitative and quantitative analytical method for vapour-phase organic
compounds released from car trim materials under simulated real use conditions, i.e. a vehicle is
parked for several hours in direct sunlight. Under these conditions, some interior parts and materials
reach higher temperatures than 65 °C (ISO 12219-4), e.g. a dashboard can reach temperatures up to
120 °C. This document can be implemented as an optional addition to ISO 12219-4 so that VOC, volatile
carbonyl and SVOC testing can all be completed within one day. This part has been added to gain insight
into the emission behaviour and emission potential of selected vehicle interior parts and materials
exposed to higher temperatures. (By convention, 100 °C is set as the higher temperature.)
The test is performed in small emission test chambers (small chambers). These small chambers are
intended to provide a transfer function for vehicle level emissions. This method is intended for
evaluating new car interior trim components but can, in principle, be applied to used car components.
The specified analytical procedure for SVOCs and semi-volatile carbonyls is ISO 16000-6.
This document is complementary to existing standards[1],[2] and provides third party test laboratories
and manufacturing industry with an approach for
— identifying the effect of real use conditions on specific VOC and SVOC emissions data,
— comparing emissions from various assemblies with regards to specific VOC and SVOC emissions,
— evaluating and sorting specific assemblies regarding specific VOC and SVOC emissions data,
— providing specific VOC and SVOC emissions data to develop and verify a correlation between
component level methods and in vehicle air quality and
— evaluating prototype, “low-emission” assemblies during development.
The method described can be exclusively performed as a high temperature test or it can be performed
in combination with the determination of VOCs at 65 °C in one run, which is described in ISO 12219-4.

Air intérieur des véhicules routiers - Partie 6: Méthode pour la détermination des émissions de composés organiques semi-volatils des parties et matériaux intérieurs des véhicules à des températures élevées - Méthode de la petit chambre

ISO 12219-6:2017 d�crit une m�thode d'analyse qualitative et quantitative des compos�s organiques en phase vapeur lib�r�s par les garnissages int�rieurs de v�hicules dans des conditions d'utilisation r�elle simul�es, c'est-�-dire un v�hicule gar� plusieurs heures � la lumi�re directe du soleil. Dans ces conditions, certaines pi�ces et certains mat�riaux int�rieurs atteignent des temp�ratures sup�rieures � 65 �C (ISO 12219‑4), par exemple un tableau de bord peut atteindre des temp�ratures allant jusqu'� 120 �C. Le pr�sent document peut �tre mis ?uvre comme suppl�ment facultatif � l'ISO 12219‑4, de sorte que les essais COV, compos�s carbonyl�s volatils et COSV peuvent tous �tre effectu�s en un jour.

Notranji zrak v cestnih vozilih - 6. del: Metoda za določevanje emisij polhlapnih organskih spojin iz notranjih delov in materialov pri visoki temperaturi - Metoda z majhno komoro

Ta dokument opisuje kvalitativno in kvantitativno analitično metodo za organske spojine v parni fazi, ki se sproščajo iz sestavnih delov v notranjosti vozila v simuliranih pogojih dejanske uporabe, tj, ko je vozilo več ur parkirano pod neposredno sončno svetlobo. Pod temi pogoji določeni deli in materiali v notranjosti dosežejo temperaturo, višjo od 65 °C (ISO 12219-4), npr. armaturna plošča lahko doseže temperaturo do
120 °C. Ta dokument se lahko uporablja kot izbirni dodatek k standardu ISO 12219-4, tako da je mogoče preskušanje hlapnih organskih spojin (VOC), hlapnega karbonila in polhlapnih organskih spojin (SVOC) opraviti v enem dnevu. Ta del je bil dodan za pridobivanje vpogleda v vedenje emisij in emisijskega potenciala izbranih notranjih delov vozila ter materialov, izpostavljenih višjim temperaturam. (Po dogovoru je kot višja temperatura nastavljena temperatura 100 °C.)
Preskus se izvaja v majhnih komorah za preskušanje emisij (majhne komore). Namen teh majhnih komor je zagotavljanje funkcije prenosa za stopnje emisije vozil. Ta metoda je namenjena za vrednotenje novih sestavnih delov v notranjosti vozila, vendar jo je načeloma mogoče uporabiti tudi za rabljene avtomobilske dele.
Opredeljeni analitični postopek za spojine SVOC in polhlapne karbonile je ISO 16000-6.
Ta dokument je dopolnilo obstoječim standardom[1],[2] preskusnim laboratorijem tretjih oseb in proizvodni industriji pa ponuja pristop za: – prepoznavanje učinka dejanskih pogojev uporabe pri specifičnih podatkih o emisijah VOC in SVOC;
– primerjavo emisij iz različnih sestavov v zvezi s posebnimi emisijami VOC in SVOC;
– vrednotenje in razvrščanje posebnih sestavov glede podatkov o posebnih emisijah VOC in SVOC;
– podajanje podatkov o posebnih emisijah VOC in SVOC za razvijanje in potrjevanje korelacije med metodami na ravni komponent in pri kakovosti zraka v vozilu; ter
– vrednotenje prototipnih sestavov »z nizko stopnjo emisij« med razvojem.
Opisano metodo lahko ekskluzivno izvajate kot preskus visoke temperature ali pa jo izvajate
sočasno v kombinaciji z določanjem spojin VOC pri 65 °C, kar je opisano v standardu ISO 12219-4.

Introduction
Volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds (VOCs and SVOCs) are widely used in industry and
can be emitted by many everyday products and materials. They have attracted attention in recent
years because of their impact on indoor air quality. After homes and workplaces, people spend a lot
of time in their vehicles. It is important to determine the material emissions of interior parts and to
reduce them to an acceptable level, if required. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain comprehensive and
reliable information about the types of organic compounds in the interior air of vehicles and also their
concentrations.
Monitoring emissions from vehicle trim components can be performed in several ways and the approach
selected depends upon the desired outcome and the material type. For example, to obtain emissions
data from complete assemblies (e.g. a dashboard or seat), it is necessary to employ emission chambers
3
or bags that have sufficient volume to house the complete assembly (typically ≥ 1 m ). The performance
of such tests may take several hours or even days, depending on specified equilibration times and the
requirements of the relevant test protocol.
This document outlines a screening method for measuring the types and levels of VOCs and SVOCs
in vehicle trim components under controlled conditions using a small emission test chamber (small
chamber). The described screening method can be used to investigate the emissions of car interior trim
under conditions of real use where elevated temperatures are prevailing in the cabin of road vehicles.
For this purpose, tests are performed at 65 °C and 100 °C. ISO 12219-6 describes requirements for a
small chamber and a test protocol. Measurements are carried out according to ISO 16000-6 (VOCs).
The capacity of a small chamber is not limited to small assemblies or representative test specimens
of homogeneous car trim materials. Small chambers allow qualitative and quantitative VOC and SVOC
emission data to be measured and recorded. The subsequent emission data can be used to develop a
correlation between material level methods and the vehicle level method.

A vehicle interior trim component or material sample, referred to as a test specimen, is inserted into a
3 3
small chamber (0,5 m to 4,0 m ) and kept under controlled conditions of temperature, humidity and
air change rate (air flow rate). The air inside the chamber is thoroughly mixed at all times so that the
concentration of any organic substances emitted by the test specimen is uniform – both within the
chamber and in the flow of air exhausting from the chamber.
The air exhausting from the chamber is sampled for semi-volatile organic compounds at selected times.
Chemical analysis of these samples allows the chamber air concentration and specific emission rates
from the test specimen to be determined.

6 Emission test bed preparation
6.1 General
A test bed to determine gaseous emissions consists of the following functional components/operational
elements:
— small chamber;
— air circulation;
— clean air supply;
— temperature, humidity, and flow control and regulation;
— sample line.
General guidelines regarding suitable construction materials and configurations of test apparatus are
given below. Recommendations for continuous monitoring of the chamber air for quality assurance
purposes are also given in Clause 7.
6.2 Small chamber
6.2.1 General
3 3
The small chamber is an airtight container with the volume of 0,5 m to 4,0 m . A typical standard small
3 3
chamber has a volume of 1 m ± 0,05 m . The chamber volume shall be specified in the test report. Inside
the chamber, there is a device for mixing the air and a stand to guarantee positioning of the component
(see 6.2.2) without touching the walls. An inflow pipe and an outlet air pipe shall be provided to adjust
the air change (air renewal) or to test the air.
An example of a small chamber in the form of a flow chart is shown in Figure 1.
6.2.2 Materials
General specifications and requirements, which apply to all types of small chambers, are provided below.
The small chamber method requires the following key components.
6.2.2.1 Airtight small chamber apparatus.
6.2.2.2 Appropriate wall surfaces and rack. The wall surfaces of the small chamber and the rack
for supporting the test specimen should be made of electropolished high-quality steel. When testing
materials or components that are not compatible with hot stainless steel (e.g. test specimens which
emit odorous reactive substances such as some sulfur-containing compounds), the chamber shall be
constructed of inert materials that don’t emit or absorb organic vapours.
6.2.2.3 Heating mechanism and temperature control system.
6.2.2.4 Sampling line, constructed of an inert, non-emitting and non-adsorbing material which is
heated, if necessary, to prevent condensation/deposition on the inner walls. The length of the sampling
line shall be as short as possible and is restricted to about 3 m. It is strongly recommended to heat up the
sampling line to 120 °C to prevent condensation.
6.2.2.5 Clean air supply and humidification system.

SIST ISO 12219-6:2018
ISO 12219-6:2017(E)

6.2.2.6 Appropriate monitoring and control systems (to ensure that the test is carried out according
to specified conditions).
6.2.2.7 Appropriate vapour sampling tubes are also required.
6.2.2.8 Appropriate sealing materials (e.g. gaskets or O-rings). Any sealing materials used for
sealing the doors or lids of the small chambers, shall be compatible with high temperatures and exhibit
low emission and low absorption properties even at elevated temperatures. They shall not contribute
significantly to the background vapour concentration. The O-rings or gaskets should be easily removed
to facilitate cleaning or replacement (see 6.2.5). Surfaces of these parts that are in contact with the small
chamber atmosphere shall not exceed in their sum 5 % of the small chamber walls.
6.2.3 Tightness
In order to avoid uncontrolled sample loss, any leakage shall be either
— less than 0,1 % of the volume of the small chamber per minute or
— less than 5 % of the incoming air (delivery air/supply air) in tests with air change (air renewal) at
1 000 Pa excess pressure.
In order to avoid air inflow from outside, a small excess pressure with regard to the atmospheric
pressure in the laboratory or a volume over-current shall be used.
6.2.4 Air mixing
This method relies on the air inside the chamber being thoroughly mixed. A suitable device for mixing
the air is required, that can also fulfil this prerequisite when testing large-volume, bulky material.
The flow rate (flow velocity) in the middle of the empty small chamber shall exceed 0,1 m/s.
NOTE Suitable equipment for measuring air velocity includes hot wire or film anemometers calibrated in the
range 0,1 m/s to 0,5 m/s.
6.2.5 Cleaning
The chamber shall be easy to clean – mechanically and thermally, including ready access to seals
and gaskets. See 7.3 for performance criteria relating to background levels and see 9.2 and 9.3.4 for
information on cleaning procedures.
6.3 Small chamber temperature control
The chamber temperature shall be precisely controlled because there is a strong link between
temperature and the chemical emission rate. The chamber shall be able to maintain a given temperature
within ± 1 °C. Emission rates are specific to a particular temperature; therefore, it is essential to
maintain a constant temperature within the small chamber throughout the emission test/ comparative
analyses.
6.4 Air humidification
The humidification of the supply air in the small chamber shall be carried out in such a way that the
formation of steam, vapour, and aerosols is ruled out. Maintain a relative humidity of 5 % at 65 °C in
the supply air using the humidification unit. This corresponds to a relative humidity of 50 % at 21 °C or
a dew point of 10,4 °C. It is typical to maintain a targeted dew point temperature and then to reheat to

Introduction
Volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds (VOCs and SVOCs) are widely used in industry and
can be emitted by many everyday products and materials. They have attracted attention in recent
years because of their impact on indoor air quality. After homes and workplaces, people spend a lot
of time in their vehicles. It is important to determine the material emissions of interior parts and to
reduce them to an acceptable level, if required. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain comprehensive and
reliable information about the types of organic compounds in the interior air of vehicles and also their
concentrations.
Monitoring emissions from vehicle trim components can be performed in several ways and the approach
selected depends upon the desired outcome and the material type. For example, to obtain emissions
data from complete assemblies (e.g. a dashboard or seat), it is necessary to employ emission chambers
3
or bags that have sufficient volume to house the complete assembly (typically ≥ 1 m ). The performance
of such tests may take several hours or even days, depending on specified equilibration times and the
requirements of the relevant test protocol.
This document outlines a screening method for measuring the types and levels of VOCs and SVOCs
in vehicle trim components under controlled conditions using a small emission test chamber (small
chamber). The described screening method can be used to investigate the emissions of car interior trim
under conditions of real use where elevated temperatures are prevailing in the cabin of road vehicles.
For this purpose, tests are performed at 65 °C and 100 °C. ISO 12219-6 describes requirements for a
small chamber and a test protocol. Measurements are carried out according to ISO 16000-6 (VOCs).
The capacity of a small chamber is not limited to small assemblies or representative test specimens
of homogeneous car trim materials. Small chambers allow qualitative and quantitative VOC and SVOC
emission data to be measured and recorded. The subsequent emission data can be used to develop a
correlation between material level methods and the vehicle level method.

Interior air of road vehicles —
Part 6:
Method for the determination of the emissions of semi-
volatile organic compounds from vehicle interior parts and
materials at higher temperature — Small chamber method
WARNING — This method is unsuitable for materials that are not stable at 100 °C in air.
Application of this document for thermally unstable materials could lead to irreversible
contamination of the test equipment.
1 Scope
This document describes a qualitative and quantitative analytical method for vapour-phase organic
compounds released from car trim materials under simulated real use conditions, i.e. a vehicle is
parked for several hours in direct sunlight. Under these conditions, some interior parts and materials
reach higher temperatures than 65 °C (ISO 12219-4), e.g. a dashboard can reach temperatures up to
120 °C. This document can be implemented as an optional addition to ISO 12219-4 so that VOC, volatile
carbonyl and SVOC testing can all be completed within one day. This part has been added to gain insight
into the emission behaviour and emission potential of selected vehicle interior parts and materials
exposed to higher temperatures. (By convention, 100 °C is set as the higher temperature.)
The test is performed in small emission test chambers (small chambers). These small chambers are
intended to provide a transfer function for vehicle level emissions. This method is intended for
evaluating new car interior trim components but can, in principle, be applied to used car components.
The specified analytical procedure for SVOCs and semi-volatile carbonyls is ISO 16000-6.
[1],[2]
This document is complementary to existing standards and provides third party test laboratories
and manufacturing industry with an approach for
— identifying the effect of real use conditions on specific VOC and SVOC emissions data,
— comparing emissions from various assemblies with regards to specific VOC and SVOC emissions,
— evaluating and sorting specific assemblies regarding specific VOC and SVOC emissions data,
— providing specific VOC and SVOC emissions data to develop and verify a correlation between
component level methods and in vehicle air quality and
— evaluating prototype, “low-emission” assemblies during development.
The method described can be exclusively performed as a high temperature test or it can be performed
in combination with the determination of VOCs at 65 °C in one run, which is described in ISO 12219-4.

5 Principle
A vehicle interior trim component or material sample, referred to as a test specimen, is inserted into a
3 3
small chamber (0,5 m to 4,0 m ) and kept under controlled conditions of temperature, humidity and
air change rate (air flow rate). The air inside the chamber is thoroughly mixed at all times so that the
concentration of any organic substances emitted by the test specimen is uniform – both within the
chamber and in the flow of air exhausting from the chamber.
The air exhausting from the chamber is sampled for semi-volatile organic compounds at selected times.
Chemical analysis of these samples allows the chamber air concentration and specific emission rates
from the test specimen to be determined.

6 Emission test bed preparation
6.1 General
A test bed to determine gaseous emissions consists of the following functional components/operational
elements:
— small chamber;
— air circulation;
— clean air supply;
— temperature, humidity, and flow control and regulation;
— sample line.
General guidelines regarding suitable construction materials and configurations of test apparatus are
given below. Recommendations for continuous monitoring of the chamber air for quality assurance
purposes are also given in Clause 7.
6.2 Small chamber
6.2.1 General
3 3
The small chamber is an airtight container with the volume of 0,5 m to 4,0 m . A typical standard small
3 3
chamber has a volume of 1 m ± 0,05 m . The chamber volume shall be specified in the test report. Inside
the chamber, there is a device for mixing the air and a stand to guarantee positioning of the component
(see 6.2.2) without touching the walls. An inflow pipe and an outlet air pipe shall be provided to adjust
the air change (air renewal) or to test the air.
An example of a small chamber in the form of a flow chart is shown in Figure 1.
6.2.2 Materials
General specifications and requirements, which apply to all types of small chambers, are provided below.
The small chamber method requires the following key components.
6.2.2.1 Airtight small chamber apparatus.
6.2.2.2 Appropriate wall surfaces and rack. The wall surfaces of the small chamber and the rack
for supporting the test specimen should be made of electropolished high-quality steel. When testing
materials or components that are not compatible with hot stainless steel (e.g. test specimens which
emit odorous reactive substances such as some sulfur-containing compounds), the chamber shall be
constructed of inert materials that don’t emit or absorb organic vapours.
6.2.2.3 Heating mechanism and temperature control system.
6.2.2.4 Sampling line, constructed of an inert, non-emitting and non-adsorbing material which is
heated, if necessary, to prevent condensation/deposition on the inner walls. The length of the sampling
line shall be as short as possible and is restricted to about 3 m. It is strongly recommended to heat up the
sampling line to 120 °C to prevent condensation.
6.2.2.5 Clean air supply and humidification system.
© ISO 2017 – All rights reserved 3

---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
ISO 12219-6:2017(E)

6.2.2.6 Appropriate monitoring and control systems (to ensure that the test is carried out according
to specified conditions).
6.2.2.7 Appropriate vapour sampling tubes are also required.
6.2.2.8 Appropriate sealing materials (e.g. gaskets or O-rings). Any sealing materials used for
sealing the doors or lids of the small chambers, shall be compatible with high temperatures and exhibit
low emission and low absorption properties even at elevated temperatures. They shall not contribute
significantly to the background vapour concentration. The O-rings or gaskets should be easily removed
to facilitate cleaning or replacement (see 6.2.5). Surfaces of these parts that are in contact with the small
chamber atmosphere shall not exceed in their sum 5 % of the small chamber walls.
6.2.3 Tightness
In order to avoid uncontrolled sample loss, any leakage shall be either
— less than 0,1 % of the volume of the small chamber per minute or
— less than 5 % of the incoming air (delivery air/supply air) in tests with air change (air renewal) at
1 000 Pa excess pressure.
In order to avoid air inflow from outside, a small excess pressure with regard to the atmospheric
pressure in the laboratory or a volume over-current shall be used.
6.2.4 Air mixing
This method relies on the air inside the chamber being thoroughly mixed. A suitable device for mixing
the air is required, that can also fulfil this prerequisite when testing large-volume, bulky material.
The flow rate (flow velocity) in the middle of the empty small chamber shall exceed 0,1 m/s.
NOTE Suitable equipment for measuring air velocity includes hot wire or film anemometers calibrated in the
range 0,1 m/s to 0,5 m/s.
6.2.5 Cleaning
The chamber shall be easy to clean – mechanically and thermally, including ready access to seals
and gaskets. See 7.3 for performance criteria relating to background levels and see 9.2 and 9.3.4 for
information on cleaning procedures.
6.3 Small chamber temperature control
The chamber temperature shall be precisely controlled because there is a strong link between
temperature and the chemical emission rate. The chamber shall be able to maintain a given temperature
within ± 1 °C. Emission rates are specific to a particular temperature; therefore, it is essential to
maintain a constant temperature within the small chamber throughout the emission test/ comparative
analyses.
6.4 Air humidification
The humidification of the supply air in the small chamber shall be carried out in such a way that the
formation of steam, vapour, and aerosols is ruled out. Maintain a relative humidity of 5 % at 65 °C in
the supply air using the humidification unit. This corresponds to a relative humidity of 50 % at 21 °C or
a dew point of 10,4 °C. It is typical to maintain a targeted dew point temperature and then to reheat to
a specified air temperature by the feedback from a RH sensor in the chamber. Maintaining a constant
dew point and air temperature produces a very constant relative humidity.

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
ISO 12219-6:2017(E)

6.5 Clean air supply
Tests with air change or air renewal and air sampling require a flow of clean air. An air change or air
−1
renewal of 0,4 h , under the test conditions (65 °C, ambient pressure), shall be set with an accuracy
of ± 5 %. When regulating the supply air flow, the temperature and pressure conditions at which the
mass flow controller was calibrated shall be taken into account.
To prevent localized cooling of the chamber and material/component near the air inlet, the inlet air
supply is normally heated up in the heating jacket between the small chamber and the outer test cabinet.
Before the start of a test, the sum of the concentrations of volatile and semi-volatile organic hydrocarbon
−3
combinations in the supply air shall not be more than 50 µg m ; for individual substances, the
−3
concentration shall not be more than 5 µg m .
Particulate matter in the clean air supply shall be reduced through a particle filter in order to avoid the
adsorption of compounds.

Introduction
Les composés organiques volatils et semi-volatils (COV et COSV) sont couramment utilisés dans
l’industrie et peuvent être émis par de nombreux produits et matériaux de tous les jours. Ces dernières
années, ils ont été au cœur de l’attention en raison de leur impact sur la qualité de l’air intérieur. Après
leur domicile et leur lieu de travail, les individus passent beaucoup de temps dans leur véhicule. Il est
important de déterminer les émissions des matériaux des pièces intérieures et, si nécessaire, de les
réduire à un niveau acceptable. Par conséquent, il est nécessaire d’obtenir des informations exhaustives
et fiables concernant les types de composés organiques présents dans l’air intérieur des véhicules, ainsi
que leur concentration.
Le contrôle des émissions des matériaux de garnissage automobiles peut être effectué de plusieurs
manières et la méthode choisie dépend du résultat espéré ainsi que du type de matériau. Par exemple,
pour obtenir des données d'émissions d'ensembles complets (par exemple tableau de bord ou siège), il
est nécessaire d’utiliser des chambres d’émission ou des sacs ayant un volume suffisant pour accueillir

voire plusieurs jours selon les temps d’équilibre spécifiés et les exigences du protocole d’essai appliqué.
Le présent document décrit une méthode de screening pour mesurer les types et les concentrations
de COV et COSV dans les matériaux de garnissage automobiles sous des conditions contrôlées, en
utilisant une petite chambre d’essai d’émission (petite chambre). La méthode de screening décrite peut
être utilisée pour étudier les émissions des garnissages intérieurs de véhicules dans des conditions
d’utilisation réelle où les températures dans l’habitacle des véhicules routiers sont élevées. Pour cela,
des essais sont effectués à 65 °C et 100 °C. L’ISO 12219-6 décrit les exigences applicables à une petite
chambre et un protocole d’essai. Les mesurages sont réalisés conformément à l’ISO 16000-6 (COV).
La capacité d’une petite chambre ne se limite pas aux petits ensembles ou aux éprouvettes d’essai
représentatives de matériaux homogènes des garnissages intérieurs de véhicules. Les petites chambres
permettent de mesurer et d’enregistrer des données d’émissions de COV et COSV qualitatives et
quantitatives. Les données d’émissions ultérieures peuvent être utilisées pour établir une corrélation
entre la méthode orientée matériau et la méthode orientée véhicule.

AVERTISSEMENT — Cette méthode ne convient pas aux matériaux instables à 100 °C dans l’air.
L’application du présent document aux matériaux thermiquement instables peut entraîner une
contamination irréversible du matériel d’essai.
1 Domaine d’application
Le présent document décrit une méthode d’analyse qualitative et quantitative des composés organiques
en phase vapeur libérés par les garnissages intérieurs de véhicules dans des conditions d’utilisation
réelle simulées, c’est-à-dire un véhicule garé plusieurs heures à la lumière directe du soleil. Dans ces
conditions, certaines pièces et certains matériaux intérieurs atteignent des températures supérieures
à 65 °C (ISO 12219-4), par exemple un tableau de bord peut atteindre des températures allant jusqu’à
120 °C. Le présent document peut être mis œuvre comme supplément facultatif à l’ISO 12219-4, de sorte
que les essais COV, composés carbonylés volatils et COSV peuvent tous être effectués en un jour. Cette
partie a été ajoutée pour mieux comprendre le comportement d’émission et le potentiel d’émission des
pièces et des matériaux intérieurs de véhicules sélectionnés exposés à des températures élevées. (Par
convention, 100 °C est définie comme étant la plus haute température).
L’essai est effectué dans des petites chambres d’essai d’émission (petites chambres). Ces petites
chambres sont destinées à assurer une fonction de transfert aux émissions orientées véhicule. Cette
méthode sert à évaluer les nouveaux composants des garnissages intérieurs de véhicules mais peut, en
principe, être appliquée aux composants de véhicules usagés.
Le mode opératoire analytique spécifié pour les COSV et les composés carbonylés semi-volatils est
l’ISO 16000-6.
[1][2]
Le présent document complète les normes existantes et fournit aux laboratoires d’essai tiers et au
secteur industriel une méthode pour:
— identifier l’effet des conditions d’utilisation réelle sur les données d’émissions de COV et COSV
spécifiques,
— comparer les émissions de COV et COSV spécifiques de différents ensembles,
— évaluer et trier les données d’émissions de COV et COSV spécifiques des ensembles,
— fournir des données d’émissions de COV et COSV spécifiques pour établir et vérifier une corrélation
entre la méthode orientée composant et la qualité de l’air dans le véhicule, et
— évaluer les ensembles prototypes de «faibles émissions» pendant le développement.
La méthode décrite peut être exclusivement effectuée à titre d’essai à haute température ou peut être
réalisée en combinaison avec le dosage des COV à 65 °C en un cycle, qui est décrit dans l’ISO 12219-4.

5 Principe
Un échantillon de matériau ou de composant de garnissage intérieur de véhicule, appelé éprouvette
3 3
d’essai, est inséré dans une petite chambre (0,5 m à 4,0 m ) et stocké dans des conditions de
température, d’humidité et de taux de renouvellement d’air (débit d’air) contrôlées. L’air présent à
l’intérieur de la chambre est soigneusement mélangé sans interruption afin que la concentration en
substances organiques émises par l’éprouvette d’essai soit uniforme – aussi bien dans la chambre que
dans le flux d’air sortant de la chambre.
Les composés organiques semi-volatils de l’air sortant de la chambre sont prélevés à des temps
sélectionnés. L’analyse chimique de ces échantillons permet de déterminer la concentration en air de la
chambre et les taux d’émission spécifiques de l’éprouvette d’essai.
6 Préparation du banc d’essai d’émissions
6.1 Généralités
Un banc d’essai pour déterminer les émissions gazeuses comprend les composants fonctionnels/éléments
opérationnels suivants:
— une petite chambre;
— une circulation d’air;
— une alimentation en air propre;
— un système de contrôle et de régulation de la température, de l’humidité et du débit;
— une ligne d’échantillonnage.
Les lignes directrices générales applicables aux matériaux de construction et aux configurations de
l’appareillage d’essai sont données ci-dessous. Des recommandations relatives au contrôle continu de
l’air de la chambre à des fins d’assurance qualité sont également données dans l’Article 7.
6.2 Petite chambre
6.2.1 Généralités
3 3
La petite chambre est un récipient étanche à l’air d’un volume de 0,5 m à 4,0 m . Une petite chambre
3 3
type a un volume de 1 m ± 0,05 m . Le volume de la chambre doit être spécifié dans le rapport d’essai.
À l’intérieur de la chambre se trouvent un dispositif de mélange de l’air et un support pour garantir
le positionnement du composant (voir 6.2.2) sans contact avec les parois. Un tuyau d’admission et un
tuyau d’évacuation de l’air doivent être installés pour ajuster le taux de renouvellement d’air ou pour
analyser l’air.

ISO 12219-6:2017(F)

Lors de l’analyse de matériaux ou de composants non compatibles avec l’acide inoxydable chaud (par
exemple éprouvettes d’essai émettant des substances réactives odorantes telles que certains composés
contenant du soufre), la chambre doit être fabriquée avec des matériaux inertes qui n’émettent pas ou
n’absorbent pas les vapeurs organiques.
6.2.2.3 Mécanisme de chauffage et système de régulation de la température.
6.2.2.4 Ligne d’échantillonnage, fabriquée avec un matériau inerte, non émetteur et non absorbant,
et chauffée, si nécessaire, pour empêcher toute condensation/tout dépôt sur les parois internes. La
longueur de la ligne d’échantillonnage doit être aussi courte que possible et est limitée à 3 m environ.
Il est vivement recommandé de chauffer la ligne d’échantillonnage à 120 °C pour empêcher toute
condensation.
6.2.2.5 Système d’alimentation en air propre et d’humidification de l’air.
6.2.2.6 Systèmes de surveillance et de contrôle appropriés (pour garantir que l’essai est effectué
conformément aux conditions spécifiées).
6.2.2.7 Tubes d’échantillonnage de la vapeur appropriés.
6.2.2.8 Matériaux d’étanchéité appropriés (par exemple joints ou joints toriques). Les matériaux
d’étanchéité utilisés pour étanchéifier les portes ou les couvercles des petites chambres, doivent être
compatibles avec des températures élevées et doivent présenter de faibles propriétés d’émission et
d’absorption, même à des températures élevées. Ils ne doivent pas contribuer de façon significative au
bruit de fond de la vapeur. Il convient que les joints toriques ou les joints puissent être facilement enlevés
pour faciliter le nettoyage ou le remplacement (voir 6.2.5). Les surfaces de ces pièces qui sont en contact
avec l’atmosphère de la petite chambre ne doivent pas dépasser, si on les additionne, 5 % des parois de la
petite chambre.
6.2.3 Étanchéité
Pour éviter tout perte d’échantillon incontrôlée, toute fuite doit être soit:
— inférieure à 0,1 % du volume de la petite chambre par minute, soit
— inférieure à 5 % de l’air entrant (air introduit/air d’alimentation) lors des essais avec renouvellement
d’air à une surpression de 1 000 Pa.
Pour éviter toute entrée d’air depuis l’extérieur, une légère surpression par rapport à la pression
atmosphérique en laboratoire ou une surintensité volumique doit être utilisée.
6.2.4 Mélange d’air
Cette méthode repose sur le soigneux mélange de l’air contenu dans la chambre. Un mélangeur d’air
approprié, pouvant également satisfaire à ce préalable lorsqu’un matériau volumineux est soumis à
essai, est requis.
Le débit (vitesse d’écoulement) au centre de la petite chambre vide doit être supérieur à 0,1 m/s.

ISO 12219-6:2017(E)

Introduction
Volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds (VOCs and SVOCs) are widely used in industry and
can be emitted by many everyday products and materials. They have attracted attention in recent
years because of their impact on indoor air quality. After homes and workplaces, people spend a lot
of time in their vehicles. It is important to determine the material emissions of interior parts and to
reduce them to an acceptable level, if required. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain comprehensive and
reliable information about the types of organic compounds in the interior air of vehicles and also their
concentrations.
Monitoring emissions from vehicle trim components can be performed in several ways and the approach
selected depends upon the desired outcome and the material type. For example, to obtain emissions
data from complete assemblies (e.g. a dashboard or seat), it is necessary to employ emission chambers
3
or bags that have sufficient volume to house the complete assembly (typically ≥ 1 m ). The performance
of such tests may take several hours or even days, depending on specified equilibration times and the
requirements of the relevant test protocol.
This document outlines a screening method for measuring the types and levels of VOCs and SVOCs
in vehicle trim components under controlled conditions using a small emission test chamber (small
chamber). The described screening method can be used to investigate the emissions of car interior trim
under conditions of real use where elevated temperatures are prevailing in the cabin of road vehicles.
For this purpose, tests are performed at 65 °C and 100 °C. ISO 12219-6 describes requirements for a
small chamber and a test protocol. Measurements are carried out according to ISO 16000-6 (VOCs).
The capacity of a small chamber is not limited to small assemblies or representative test specimens
of homogeneous car trim materials. Small chambers allow qualitative and quantitative VOC and SVOC
emission data to be measured and recorded. The subsequent emission data can be used to develop a
correlation between material level methods and the vehicle level method.
[2]
This document is based on VDA 276 and correlates to ISO 16000-9.

Interior air of road vehicles —
Part 6:
Method for the determination of the emissions of semi-
volatile organic compounds from vehicle interior parts and
materials at higher temperature — Small chamber method
WARNING — This method is unsuitable for materials that are not stable at 100 °C in air.
Application of this document for thermally unstable materials could lead to irreversible
contamination of the test equipment.
1 Scope
This document describes a qualitative and quantitative analytical method for vapour-phase organic
compounds released from car trim materials under simulated real use conditions, i.e. a vehicle is
parked for several hours in direct sunlight. Under these conditions, some interior parts and materials
reach higher temperatures than 65 °C (ISO 12219-4), e.g. a dashboard can reach temperatures up to
120 °C. This document can be implemented as an optional addition to ISO 12219-4 so that VOC, volatile
carbonyl and SVOC testing can all be completed within one day. This part has been added to gain insight
into the emission behaviour and emission potential of selected vehicle interior parts and materials
exposed to higher temperatures. (By convention, 100 °C is set as the higher temperature.)
The test is performed in small emission test chambers (small chambers). These small chambers are
intended to provide a transfer function for vehicle level emissions. This method is intended for
evaluating new car interior trim components but can, in principle, be applied to used car components.
The specified analytical procedure for SVOCs and semi-volatile carbonyls is ISO 16000-6.
[1],[2]
This document is complementary to existing standards and provides third party test laboratories
and manufacturing industry with an approach for
— identifying the effect of real use conditions on specific VOC and SVOC emissions data,
— comparing emissions from various assemblies with regards to specific VOC and SVOC emissions,
— evaluating and sorting specific assemblies regarding specific VOC and SVOC emissions data,
— providing specific VOC and SVOC emissions data to develop and verify a correlation between
component level methods and in vehicle air quality and
— evaluating prototype, “low-emission” assemblies during development.
The method described can be exclusively performed as a high temperature test or it can be performed
in combination with the determination of VOCs at 65 °C in one run, which is described in ISO 12219-4.

5 Principle
A vehicle interior trim component or material sample, referred to as a test specimen, is inserted into a
3 3
small chamber (0,5 m to 4,0 m ) and kept under controlled conditions of temperature, humidity and
air change rate (air flow rate). The air inside the chamber is thoroughly mixed at all times so that the
concentration of any organic substances emitted by the test specimen is uniform – both within the
chamber and in the flow of air exhausting from the chamber.
The air exhausting from the chamber is sampled for semi-volatile organic compounds at selected times.
Chemical analysis of these samples allows the chamber air concentration and specific emission rates
from the test specimen to be determined.

6 Emission test bed preparation
6.1 General
A test bed to determine gaseous emissions consists of the following functional components/operational
elements:
— small chamber;
— air circulation;
— clean air supply;
— temperature, humidity, and flow control and regulation;
— sample line.
General guidelines regarding suitable construction materials and configurations of test apparatus are
given below. Recommendations for continuous monitoring of the chamber air for quality assurance
purposes are also given in Clause 7.
6.2 Small chamber
6.2.1 General
3 3
The small chamber is an airtight container with the volume of 0,5 m to 4,0 m . A typical standard small
3 3
chamber has a volume of 1 m ± 0,05 m . The chamber volume shall be specified in the test report. Inside
the chamber, there is a device for mixing the air and a stand to guarantee positioning of the component
(see 6.2.2) without touching the walls. An inflow pipe and an outlet air pipe shall be provided to adjust
the air change (air renewal) or to test the air.
An example of a small chamber in the form of a flow chart is shown in Figure 1.
6.2.2 Materials
General specifications and requirements, which apply to all types of small chambers, are provided below.
The small chamber method requires the following key components.
6.2.2.1 Airtight small chamber apparatus.
6.2.2.2 Appropriate wall surfaces and rack. The wall surfaces of the small chamber and the rack
for supporting the test specimen should be made of electropolished high-quality steel. When testing
materials or components that are not compatible with hot stainless steel (e.g. test specimens which
emit odorous reactive substances such as some sulfur-containing compounds), the chamber shall be
constructed of inert materials that don’t emit or absorb organic vapours.
6.2.2.3 Heating mechanism and temperature control system.
6.2.2.4 Sampling line, constructed of an inert, non-emitting and non-adsorbing material which is
heated, if necessary, to prevent condensation/deposition on the inner walls. The length of the sampling
line shall be as short as possible and is restricted to about 3 m. It is strongly recommended to heat up the
sampling line to 120 °C to prevent condensation.
6.2.2.5 Clean air supply and humidification system.

6.2.2.6 Appropriate monitoring and control systems (to ensure that the test is carried out according
to specified conditions).
6.2.2.7 Appropriate vapour sampling tubes are also required.
6.2.2.8 Appropriate sealing materials (e.g. gaskets or O-rings). Any sealing materials used for
sealing the doors or lids of the small chambers, shall be compatible with high temperatures and exhibit
low emission and low absorption properties even at elevated temperatures. They shall not contribute
significantly to the background vapour concentration. The O-rings or gaskets should be easily removed
to facilitate cleaning or replacement (see 6.2.5). Surfaces of these parts that are in contact with the small
chamber atmosphere shall not exceed in their sum 5 % of the small chamber walls.
6.2.3 Tightness
In order to avoid uncontrolled sample loss, any leakage shall be either
— less than 0,1 % of the volume of the small chamber per minute or
— less than 5 % of the incoming air (delivery air/supply air) in tests with air change (air renewal) at
1 000 Pa excess pressure.
In order to avoid air inflow from outside, a small excess pressure with regard to the atmospheric
pressure in the laboratory or a volume over-current shall be used.
6.2.4 Air mixing
This method relies on the air inside the chamber being thoroughly mixed. A suitable device for mixing
the air is required, that can also fulfil this prerequisite when testing large-volume, bulky material.
The flow rate (flow velocity) in the middle of the empty small chamber shall exceed 0,1 m/s.
NOTE Suitable equipment for measuring air velocity includes hot wire or film anemometers calibrated in the
range 0,1 m/s to 0,5 m/s.
6.2.5 Cleaning
The chamber shall be easy to clean – mechanically and thermally, including ready access to seals
and gaskets. See 7.3 for performance criteria relating to background levels and see 9.2 and 9.3.4 for
information on cleaning procedures.
6.3 Small chamber temperature control
The chamber temperature shall be precisely controlled because there is a strong link between
temperature and the chemical emission rate. The chamber shall be able to maintain a given temperature
within ± 1 °C. Emission rates are specific to a particular temperature; therefore, it is essential to
maintain a constant temperature within the small chamber throughout the emission test/ comparative
analyses.
6.4 Air humidification
The humidification of the supply air in the small chamber shall be carried out in such a way that the
formation of steam, vapour, and aerosols is ruled out. Maintain a relative humidity of 5 % at 65 °C in
the supply air using the humidification unit. This corresponds to a relative humidity of 50 % at 21 °C or
a dew point of 10,4 °C. It is typical to maintain a targeted dew point temperature and then to reheat to
a specif
