ISO 12219-8:2018(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, the other place people
spend a lot of time is in their vehicles. Therefore, it is important to determine the material emissions
of interior parts of vehicles and to reduce them to an acceptable level. To do so, it is necessary to get
comprehensive and reliable information about the types of organic compounds in the indoor air of
vehicles and their concentrations. Since contamination of the materials and/or rapid volatilization
of emissions can influence the results of the measurements, it is necessary to know these effects to
achieve repeatable and accurate test results.
This document describes the handing and packaging of materials and components for emission testing.
It is intended to be used by producers and testing laboratories in the automotive industry.
This document supports the vehicle product development cycle since vehicle interior materials change
frequently. Testing methods can specifically define the handling and packaging conditions for the
material to be analysed. In these cases, the method is followed as closely as possible. This document
can be used as a guide for when the protocol for handling and packaging the samples between part
production and testing is not exactly defined.

Interior air of road vehicles —
Part 8:
Handling and packaging of materials and components for
emission testing
1 Scope
This document specifies the selection, preparation, conditioning, packaging, labelling, transportation
and storage for materials and components for, but not limited to, volatile organic compound (VOC)
testing, fogging testing and odour testing.
It pays special attention to materials sensitive to contamination and/or rapid volatilization of emissions
in order to achieve repeatable and accurate test results.
2 Normative references
There are no normative references in this document.
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at https: //www .iso .org/obp
— IEC Electropedia: available at http: //www .electropedia .org/
3.1
analytical sample
emissions sample that is taken during the emissions test procedure
Note 1 to entry: When determining volatile organic compound emissions, typical air samples are taken at selected
times during the test procedure. Other methods, such as fogging or odour, may produce results without the need
for analytical samples and post analysis. Two other terms used with “analytical sample” are “background sample”
and “blank sample”. Both terms are used to ensure accurate measurements, see ISO 16000-6 and ISO 16000-3 for
more details.
3.2
liquid material
material that arrives at the vehicle assembly line in a liquid form and does not fully solidify
EXAMPLE Sealers and adhesives.
3.3
producer
company and manufacturing plant that makes and supplies the product to be tested
© ISO 2018 – All rights reserved 1

---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------
ISO 12219-8:2018(E)

3.4
product sample
basic material of the vehicle interior component or complete component being assembled in the vehicle
interior (sometimes referred to as a field sample)
Note 1 to entry: The product sample is representative of the production component or a representative sample of
material cut out from vehicle interior parts to be tested. The product samples should have been put through all
of the steps of production intended for the production process and with all of the pertinent auxiliary production
equipment, including the proper production rate. Deviations shall be documented in precise detail in the test
report. Product samples should be selected at random.
3.5
production cycle
processing of raw products and materials from the beginning of manufacturing through the output of a
finished product
Note 1 to entry: In addition to the processing time, the production cycle includes normal drying times and the
period up to the point where the product is packaged and shipped, prior to leaving the control of the product
manufacturer.
3.6
test laboratory
analytical facility
Note 1 to entry: This is where the material product is sent for testing. The test specimens (3.8) and analytical
samples (3.1) are created here. The analytical samples are also analysed by the test laboratory even though the
sampling test may not take place at the same location as the samples are analysed.
3.7
test requester
client of the test laboratory (3.6)
Note 1 to entry: In automotive scenarios, this is typically the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or Tier 1
supplier but it could be anyone requesting a material or component to be tested.
3.8
test specimen
part of the product sample specifically prepared for testing
Note 1 to entry: The test specimen is prepared, stored and conditioned by experienced laboratory personnel in
order to simulate the emission behaviour of the material or component that is tested.
4 Simplified process overview and timeline
4.1 The complete process is simplified and summarized for the benefit of producers and testing
laboratories. In every case, great care should be used when sealing and packaging the test specimens to
halt off-gassing and to preserve the VOC emissions. Also, each product or specimen sent for testing shall
include a complete and accurate label. Follow all the specific instructions described by the test request.
4.2 Time is a very critical parameter. VOC emissions rates are very sensitive to time and exposure
conditions. The times listed are suggestions. Timing should be agreed by the producer, testing laboratory
and the test requester as per the test method and the material or part specification. The testing laboratory
typically requires two weeks to test the specimen(s). Specific aging time shall be specified by the test
requester and documented by the producer and testing laboratory. The testing laboratory could then
require an additional two weeks to analyse the collected test sample(s) and to send the final test report
2 © ISO 2018 – All rights reserved

---------------------- Page: 7 ----------------------
ISO 12219-8:2018(E)

to the requester. The summary table phases, A through H, as shown in Table 1, match the timeline phases
in Figures 1 and 2. For more specific details, see the appropriate clause referenced in Table 1.
Table 1 — Handling and packaging process by phase
Phases Procedure Clause
A The product is manufactured by the producer. 5, 6, 7
B Ample products for the required test(s) are selected and labelled. 5, 9
C The producer handles and stores the product in the normal manner. 5, 11
D Careful preparation and/or packaging the test specimen(s). 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Shipping to the test laboratory. The test laboratory receives the package, verifies
the test method, verifies the quantities and the documents describing when the
E 10
product was manufactured. National shipping logistics should not exceed the two-
week limit from manufacture to receipt from the test laboratory.
The product remains in its original packaging until the specimen is aged and/or
F 7, 11
tested. The test laboratory should photograph the product and/or test specimens.
The test is started per the specific VOC, odour or fogging method. Analytical
G 6, 7, 11
samples created by the test can be stored and analysed at a later date.
Analytical samples shall be analysed and the final test report shall be sent to the
H
requester after the completion of the specific test method.
Timelines for the different phases for the different aging scenarios, explained in Table 1, are shown in
Figure 1 and 2.
Figure 1 — Handling and packaging process timeline (aged by producer under normal process
conditions)
Figure 2 — Handling and packaging process timeline (aged by test laboratory under controlled
conditions)
NOTE The emission status of a material or compound can be preserved by proper packaging and storage.
4.3 This method describes two guidelines for aging products.
a) Age the product at the place of the producer following the normal production process, see Figure 1.
This method also suggests that the producer prepare the test specimens. The test requester or test
method instructs the producer to prepare their product following the normal process for aging
and to create the test specimen(s) before packaging and sending to the testing laboratory. The
producer cuts, moulds, applies, etc. the product into the final agreed shape and size to be tested.
When the testing laboratory receives the sealed test specimen, they can remove the test specimen

---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
ISO 12219-8:2018(E)

from the packaging and can perform the test immediately with no additional preparation, aging or
conditioning of the test specimen.
b) Age the product at the test laboratory under controlled conditions, see Figure 2. In this practice, pull
the product after final production and package the product sample using the same care to halt the
emission of VOCs during storage and transportation to the testing laboratory. When received and
unpackaged by the testing laboratory, immediately age the material under the desired conditions
as described by the test requester and/or test method. After aging is complete, immediately test as
instructed.
5 Sampling the product
5.1 Vehicle interior components selected for emissions testing shall be manufactured and handled
in the usual way prior to packaging and shipping to the test laboratory. In general, samples should
be prepared to allow for emissions from those products that would typically be exposed in the same
application in a vehicle to mimic actual use conditions.
5.2 A representative product sample of material and/or trim component is o

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. Par
conséquent, il est important de déterminer les émissions des matériaux des parties intérieures
de véhicules et de les réduire à un niveau acceptable. Pour ce faire, 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. La contamination des matériaux et/ou la
volatilisation rapide des émissions peuvent influencer les résultats des mesurages. Il est donc nécessaire
de connaître ces effets afin d’obtenir des résultats d’essai répétables et exacts.
Le présent document décrit la manutention et l’emballage des matériaux et des composants pour les
essais d’émissions. Il est destiné à être utilisé par les fabricants et les laboratoires d’essai de l’industrie
automobile.
Le présent document s’applique également au cycle de développement des produits automobiles car les
matériaux intérieurs des véhicules changent souvent. Les méthodes d’essai peuvent particulièrement
définir les conditions de manutention et d’emballage du matériau à analyser. Dans ces cas, suivre la
méthode le plus rigoureusement possible. Lorsque le protocole de manutention et d’emballage des
échantillons entre la production et les essais n’est pas défini avec exactitude, le présent document peut
être utilisé comme un guide.

Note 1 à l'article: Lors de la détermination des émissions de composés organiques volatils, des échantillons d’air
types sont prélevés à des périodes déterminées pendant le mode opératoire d’essai. D’autres méthodes telles
que les essais de condensation ou les essais olfactifs permettent d’obtenir des résultats sans avoir recours à
des échantillons analytiques et à une analyse ultérieure. Deux autres termes utilisés avec le terme «échantillon
analytique» sont «échantillon de référence» et «blanc». Tous deux sont utilisés pour garantir l’exactitude des
mesures, voir l’ISO 16000-6 et l’ISO 16000-3 pour plus de détails.
3.2
matériau liquide
matériau qui arrive sur la chaîne d’assemblage du véhicule sous forme liquide ou qui ne se solidifie pas
complètement
EXEMPLE Apprêts d’impression et adhésifs.

3.4
échantillon de produit
matériau de base des composants intérieurs du véhicule ou des composants complets assemblés à
l’intérieur du véhicule (parfois appelé échantillon de terrain)
Note 1 à l'article: L’échantillon de produit est représentatif du composant de production ou d’un échantillon
représentatif de matériau découpé des parties intérieures du véhicule soumises à essai. Il convient que les
échantillons de produit aient subi toutes les étapes de production destinées au processus de production et avec
l’ensemble de l’équipement de production auxiliaire pertinent, y compris la cadence de production appropriée.
Les écarts doivent être documentés en détail dans le rapport d’essai. Il convient de sélectionner les échantillons
de produit au hasard.
3.5
cycle de production
usinage de produits et de matériaux bruts, du début de la fabrication jusqu’à l’obtention d’un produit fini
Note 1 à l'article: En plus du temps d’usinage, le cycle de production comprend des temps de séchage normaux et
la période allant jusqu’au moment où le produit est emballé et expédié, et avant de quitter l’usine, le contrôle du
fabricant du produit
3.6
laboratoire d’essai
centre d’analyse
Note 1 à l'article: Il s’agit du lieu où le produit est envoyé pour subir les essais. Les éprouvettes d’essai (3.8) et les
échantillons analytiques (3.1) y sont créés. Les échantillons analytiques sont également analysés par le laboratoire
d’essai même si l’échantillonnage n’a pas lieu au même endroit que l’analyse des échantillons.
3.7
demandeur de l’essai
client du laboratoire d’essai (3.6)
Note 1 à l'article: Dans l’industrie automobile, il s’agit généralement de l’équipementier ou du fournisseur de
premier rang, mais cela peut être quiconque demandant l’essai d’un matériau ou d’un composant.
3.8

partie de l’échantillon de produit spécialement préparée pour l’essai
Note 1 à l'article: L’éprouvette d’essai est préparée, stockée et conditionnée par un personnel de laboratoire
qualifié afin de reproduire le comportement d’émission du matériau ou du composant soumis à essai.
4 Vue d’ensemble simplifiée du processus et de la chronologie
4.1 L’ensemble du processus est simplifié et résumé à l’attention des fabricants et des laboratoires
d’essai. Dans tous les cas, lors de la fermeture et de l’emballage des éprouvettes d’essai, il convient
de veiller à empêcher les dégagements gazeux et les émissions de COV. De plus, chaque produit ou
éprouvette envoyé(e) pour subir l’essai doit être accompagnée(e) des informations complètes et exactes.
Respecter toutes les instructions spécifiques décrites par le demandeur de l’essai.
4.2 Le temps est un paramètre crucial. Les taux d’émissions de COV sont très sensibles aux durées
et aux conditions d’exposition. Les temps indiqués sont des suggestions. Il convient que le fabricant, le
laboratoire d’essai et le demandeur de l’essai s’accordent sur la cadence, conformément à la méthode
d’essai et à la spécification sur le matériau ou la partie. Généralement, le laboratoire d’essai a besoin
de deux semaines pour analyser la ou les éprouvette(s). Un temps de vieillissement spécifique doit être
précisé par le demandeur de l’essai et documenté par le fabricant et le laboratoire d’essai. Le laboratoire
d’essai peut ensuite exiger deux semaines de plus pour analyser le ou les échantillon(s) pour essai
prélevé(s) et envoyer le rapport d’essai final au demandeur. Les phases A à H du tableau récapitulatif,

4.3 Cette méthode décrit deux lignes directrices pour le vieillissement des produits.
a) Laisser vieillir le produit chez le fabricant après le processus de production normal, voir la Figure 1.
Cette méthode suggère également que le fabricant prépare les éprouvettes d’essai. Le demandeur de
l’essai ou la méthode d’essai exige que le fabricant prépare son produit en respectant un processus
de vieillissement normal et qu’il crée la ou les éprouvette(s) d’essai avant l’emballage et l’envoi au
laboratoire d’essai. Le fabricant découpe, moule et applique le produit sous sa forme et dans la taille
convenues pour l’essai. Lorsque le laboratoire d’essai reçoit l’éprouvette d’essai fermée, il peut la
sortir de l’emballage et effectuer l’essai immédiatement sans autre préparation, vieillissement ou
conditionnement de l’éprouvette d’essai.
b) Laisser vieillir le produit dans le laboratoire d’essai dans des conditions contrôlées, voir la Figure 2.
Dans ce cas, retirer le produit à la fin de la production et emballer l’échantillon de produit avec le
même soin pour empêcher l’émission de COV pendant le stockage et le transport vers le laboratoire
d’essai. Une fois reçu et déballé par le laboratoire d’essai, laisser immédiatement vieillir le matériau
dans les conditions souhaitées telles que décrites par le demandeur de l’essai et/ou la méthode
d’essai. À la fin du vieillissement, procéder immédiatement à l’essai comme indiqué.
5 Échantillonnage du produit
5.1 Les composants intérieurs du véhicule choisis pour les essais d’émissions doivent être fabriqués
et manipulés de manière habituelle avant l’emballage et l’expédition vers le laboratoire d’essai. En
général, il convient de préparer les échantillons de façon à permettre les émissions de ces produits
habituellement dans les mêmes conditions d’usage dans un véhicule, afin de reproduire les conditions
d’utilisation réelles.
5.2 Un échantillon de matériau et/ou de sellerie représentatif du produit est obtenu sur le site de
fabrication, dès que possible après le cycle de production normal, et équilibré à température ambiante.
Les échantillons de produit ne doivent pas être directement marqués avec n’importe quel type
d’étiquetage.
5.3 Pour les plus grandes parties, des échantillons plus petits peuvent être découpés pour l’emballage,
l’expédition ou le stockage. Les matériaux liquides, les produits chimiques ou les mélanges doivent
être sortis au dernier moment de leurs récipients de transport normaux. Cela vaut également pour les
peintures, les apprêts d’impression, les mastics d’insonorisation liquides et les adhésifs.
5.4 Il convient que la peau, les cheve

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, the other place people
spend a lot of time is in their vehicles. Therefore, it is important to determine the material emissions
of interior parts of vehicles and to reduce them to an acceptable level. To do so, it is necessary to get
comprehensive and reliable information about the types of organic compounds in the indoor air of
vehicles and their concentrations. Since contamination of the materials and/or rapid volatilization
of emissions can influence the results of the measurements, it is necessary to know these effects to
achieve repeatable and accurate test results.
This document describes the handing and packaging of materials and components for emission testing.
It is intended to be used by producers and testing laboratories in the automotive industry.
This document supports the vehicle product development cycle since vehicle interior materials change
frequently. Testing methods can specifically define the handling and packaging conditions for the
material to be analysed. In these cases, the method is followed as closely as possible. This document
can be used as a guide for when the protocol for handling and packaging the samples between part
production and testing is not exactly defined.

1 Scope
This document specifies the selection, preparation, conditioning, packaging, labelling, transportation
and storage for materials and components for, but not limited to, volatile organic compounds (VOC)
testing, fogging testing and odour testing.
It pays special attention to materials sensitive to contamination and/or rapid volatilization of emissions
in order to achieve repeatable and accurate test results.
2 Normative references
There are no normative references in this document.
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at https: //www .iso .org/obp
— IEC Electropedia: available at http: //www .electropedia .org/
3.1
analytical sample
emissions sample that is taken during the emissions test procedure
Note 1 to entry: When determining volatile organic emissions, typical air samples are taken at selected times
during the test procedure. Other methods, such as fogging or odour, may produce results without the need for
analytical samples and post analysis. Two other terms used with “analytical sample” are “background sample”
and “blank sample”. Both terms are used to ensure accurate measurements, see ISO 16000-6 and ISO 16000-3 for
more details.
3.2
liquid material
material that arrives at the vehicle assembly line in a liquid form and does not fully solidify
EXAMPLE Sealers and adhesives.
3.3
producer
company and manufacturing plant that makes and supplies the product to be tested

ISO/FDIS 12219-8:2018(E)

3.4
product sample
basic material of the vehicle interior component or complete component being assembled in the vehicle
interior (sometimes referred to as a field sample)
Note 1 to entry: The product sample is representative of the production component or a representative sample of
material cut out from vehicle interior parts to be tested. The product samples should have been put through all
of the steps of production intended for the production process and with all of the pertinent auxiliary production
equipment, including the proper production rate. Deviations shall be documented in precise detail in the test
report. Product samples should be selected at random.
3.5
production cycle
processing of raw products and materials from the beginning of manufacturing through the output of a
finished product
Note 1 to entry: In addition to the processing time, the production cycle includes normal drying times and the
period up to the point where the product is packaged and shipped, prior to leaving the control of the product
manufacturer.
3.6
test laboratory
analytical facility
Note 1 to entry: This is where the material product is sent for testing. The test specimens (3.8) and analytical
samples (3.1) are created here. The analytical samples are also analysed by the test laboratory even though the
sampling test may not take place at the same location as the samples are analysed.
3.7
test requester
client of the test laboratory (3.6)
Note 1 to entry: In automotive scenarios, this is typically the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or Tier 1
supplier but it could be anyone requesting a material or component to be tested.
3.8
test specimen
part of the product sample specifically prepared for testing
Note 1 to entry: The test specimen is prepared, stored and conditioned by experienced laboratory personnel in
order to simulate the emission behaviour of the material or component that is tested.
4 Simplified process overview and timeline
4.1 The complete process is simplified and summarized for the benefit of producers and testing
laboratories. In every case, great care should be used when sealing and packaging the test specimens to
halt off-gassing and to preserve the VOC emissions. Also, each product or specimen sent for testing shall
include a complete and accurate label. Follow all the specific instructions described by the test request.
4.2 Time is a very critical parameter. VOC emissions rates are very sensitive to time and exposure
conditions. The times listed are suggestions. Timing should be agreed by the producer, testing laboratory
and the test requester as per the test method and the material or part specification. The testing laboratory
typically requires two weeks to test the specimen(s). Specific aging time shall be specified by the test
requester and documented by the producer and testing laboratory. The testing laboratory could then
require an additional two weeks to analyse the collected test sample(s) and to send the final test report

4.3 This method describes two guidelines for aging products.
a) Age the product at the place of the producer following the normal production process, see Figure 1.
