EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 16000-3 testing. This part of ISO 16000 covers the determination of formaldehyde (HCHO) and other carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and ketones) in air.
The method is formaldehyde specific, but by modification, at least 12 other aromatic as well as saturated and unsaturated aliphatic carbonyl compounds (see last paragraph) can be detected and quantified. It is suitable for the determination of formaldehyde and other carbonyl compounds in the concentration range of approximately 1 µg/m3 to 1 mg/m3. The sampling method yields a time-weighted average (TWA) sample. It can be used for long-term (1 hour to 24 hours) or short-term (5 minutes to 60 minutes) air sampling for formaldehyde.
This part of ISO 16000 specifies a sampling and analysis procedure for formaldehyde and other carbonyl compounds that includes collection from air into adsorbent cartridges coated with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) followed by analysis of hydrazones generated by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
This standard is designed to be used to characterize indoor air following the sampling strategy specified in ISO 16000-2. It applies to formaldehyde and other carbonyl compounds. Tested for 14 aldehydes and ketones. Formaldehyde is the simplest carbonyl compound containing one carbon, one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms.
It is a colorless, pungent, reactive gas in the monomolecular state. Urea-formaldehyde resins have been used in the manufacture of adhesives and insulating foams. Emissions from particleboard and wall insulation are major sources of formaldehyde in indoor air.
