20、ndard, refer to Terminol-ogy D1356. For an explanation of units, symbols, and conver-sion factors, refer to Practice D1914.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 air change rate (1/h)the flow rate of air into thechamber divided by the net chamber volume usually expressedin unites o

21、f 1/h. The clean air flow rate may be measureddirectly at the clean air supply duct. The clean air change ratecan also be determined by conducting a tracer gas test (forexample, a tracer gas decay test) in the chamber. Note that theair exchange rate (in units of 1/h) is abbreviated as ACH.3.2.2 cham

22、ber loading ratiothe total amount of test speci-men exposed in the chamber divided by the net or correctedinternal air volume of the chamber.3.2.3 clean airdefined in this practice as air that satisfiesall of the following criteria:(1) concentrations of total VOCs 10 g/m3;(2) concentration of any in

23、dividual compound to be mea-sured 2.0 g/m3;(3) particle concentrations 35 200 particles/m3of 0.5 mdiameter or larger (that is, the ISO Class 6 according to ISO14644-1:1999;(4) concentrations of ozone and other potentially reactivespecies such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulfur oxides (SOx)should be

24、 at or below detectable levels (for example, 0.9). However, its validity forextrapolating the test results to a time beyond the test perioddepends on how well the emission process is physicallydescribed by the model. In a product-specific test protocol, theemission characteristics of the specific pr

25、oduct type should beused to specify the time period within which the model is valid.12. Report of the Test Results12.1 The report should generally include the followinginformation:12.1.1 Testing ObjectivesThe purpose of the testing proj-ect and intended use of the results.D6670 181812.1.2 Testing La

26、boratory IdentificationThe name,address, phone/fax numbers, and contact person.12.1.3 Product IdentificationThe name, specific identifi-ers from the manufacturer, and a brief description of theproduct, its application, and history.12.1.4 The procedure of collecting, packaging, handling,shipping, and

27、 storage of material samples.12.1.5 Facility and Equipment IdentificationA generaldescription of the facilities and equipment, including chemicalsampling and analysis.12.1.6 Test ConditionsIncluding temperature, humidity,air change rate, and dimensions of the test specimen.12.1.7 Results(1) names of

28、 VOCs identified in the pre-screening analysis; (2) basis of selecting the individual VOCsfor environmental chamber testing; (3) concentration versustime data; and (4) emission factors calculated or the selectedmodel and its coefficients for TVOCs and selected individualVOCs, or both. The report sho

29、uld clearly state all of thesampling, recovery, and analytical conditions relating to thedetermination of all analytes, as well as the method ofcalculating TVOC values.NOTE 8The TVOC value is a method-dependent measurement. Whenreporting TVOC values, the user of this practice should indicate themeas

30、urement method used, including a detailed description of the adsor-bents employed, the sampling volume, instruments, and analytical condi-tions. It is recommended that the VOC range, expressed as vapor pressure(v.p.) at 25C, of a given method be reported in parentheses with TVOCresults; for example,

31、 TVOC-by-GC/MS (v.p. 150 to 0.3 kPa) = 10 mg/m3.NOTE 9The European Union (EU) and WHO define VOCs bydifferent criteria. The WHO definition is based upon boiling point;whereas, the EU definition contains a specific list of 64 compounds. Thedefinition in Terminology D1356 may exclude some of the VOCs

32、listed bythe European Union (for example, 4-phenylcyclohexene,2-butoxyethoxyethanol, and some of the higher boiling n-alkanes).12.1.8 ReferenceRefer to this practice and others as ap-propriate.12.2 Report all values in SI units unless specified otherwise.13. Quality Control and Quality Assurance13.1

33、 Quality Assurance/Control (QA/QC) PlanA QA/QCplan should be designed and implemented to ensure theintegrity of the measured and reported data obtained duringproduct evaluation studies. This plan should encompass allfacets of the measurement program from sample receipt to finalreview and issuance of

34、 reports.13.2 Data Quality Objectives/Acceptance CriteriaTheQA/QC plan should be based on established data qualityobjectives and acceptance criteria that will depend on thepurpose of the testing and the capability of the laboratory(equipment and personnel) to conduct the test procedures. Dataquality

35、 objectives should be established for the followingparameters prior to initiating the testing program:13.2.1 Test Material/Product Transfer Time and Environ-mental ConditionsTolerance limits should be established forthe elapsed time from production to testing under an acceptablerange of specified en

36、vironmental conditions.13.2.2 Test Chamber Conditions and Test ResultsPrecision and accuracy limits should be established for eachparameter in Table 2.Accuracy certifications are supplied by the manufacturers ofthe sensors who calibrate them against National Institute ofStandards and Technology (NIS

37、T)-traceable primary sources.Accuracy checks are performed with independent sensorscalibrated against NIST-traceable primary standards. Precisionmeasurements are obtained in the laboratory by continuousrecording of the parameters. Non-compliance requires imme-diate correction or replacement of senso

38、rs, or both. Calibratedreplacements should be retained in the laboratory. Experienceshows that routine calibration and tracking of precision canprevent non-compliance.13.2.3 Record Keeping and LogsVarious documentationrequirements shall be implemented for all test parametersincluding environmental c

39、hamber and analytical performance.Many of these are identified in Guide D5116. Additionally, theidentity of persons conducting each procedure shall be re-corded. All devices used, date and time of tests, and the testdata should be part of QA/QC recording process. Complete-ness of records demonstrate

40、s the care and attention given to theQC process.13.3 CalibrationCalibration must be frequent enough toensure performance of the system within specified parameters.Frequency of calibration should be determined prior to the test,and periodic equipment checks should verify the acceptableperformance. Al

41、l calibration and verification measurementsshould be recorded including the time, equipment description,and measurement data.13.4 Accuracy DeterminationsAccuracy determinationsrequire measurements of a known emission source (forexample, permeation tubes, spiked samples) or test gas. Thesemeasurement

42、s should be made prior to establishing the projectdata quality objectives, and shall be consistent with the overalltesting objectives. The procedures and materials used forestablishing the accuracy of the measurement system should berecorded.13.5 PrecisionPrecision determinations require replica-tio

43、ns sufficient to establish the systematic variation associatedwith all measurements. When multiple chambers are used aspart of an experiment, duplicate samples shall be used.Variation in test data from a single chamber and amongchambers can be established by use of standardized sourcesTABLE 2 Recomm
