Product Emissions Testing
Product Emissions Testing
Environmental chamber technology measures chemicals that are emitted from products. These emissions can pose a serious health threat to people, which is why it is critical to address product emissions in the research and development phase of the manufacturing process.
Benefits of Product Emissions Testing
Manufacturers pursue product emissions testing to:
- Benchmark their products against competitors
- Avoid costly errors in product development
- Comply with IAQ standards and specifications
- Develop certification compliance data
- Minimize the risk of litigation associated with chemical exposure
Additional testing may be completed to comply with marks of conformity and labels for IAQ certification programs. Click here to view all of the marks of conformity and approvals we are accredited for testing.
Types of Product Emissions Testing
Product Emissions Testing can be performed for:
Methods and Standards – Evaluates products against existing test methods and standards criteria, such as CA Section 01350, GREENGUARD test methods, eco-INSTITUT test criteria, ASTM D 5116, ASTM D 6670, ISO 16000-9, Blue Angel, DIBt’s Ü mark, AgBB, Natureplus, the EU Eco Flower, GEV-Emicode, CE, the Golden M, QUL, the Cork logo, Naturtextil, Organic textile Label, Öko Control, AFSSET, French A+ label, and BIFMA
Exposure Risk – Assesses products for their contributions to chemical exposure, develop comprehensive evaluations and testing data for regulatory compliance needs
Odor Assessment – Identifies product odors and sources against an extensive database of odorants, irritants, their thresholds and descriptions
Ultrafine Particle Studies – Provides manufacturers with ultrafine particle emissions data to fulfill requirements for ECMA 328, ISO 28360, and Blue Angel RAL UZ-122 for print devices
Air Sampling Analysis – Building owners, facility managers, and third-party consultants resolve IAQ concerns in a variety of environments with general analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), microbial VOCs, aldehydes, and other air pollutants
