BS EN 13999-1:2013EN 13999-1:2013 (E) 5 Introduction Solvent-free and low-solvent adhesives may release considerable long-term emissions of volatile chemical compounds. Any documentat
26、ion of emission characteristics requires a test method that includes all relevant and potentially hazardous substances. It is essential that the test be reliable and reproducible, give results in a short time to be useful for decisions for development projects, verify that carcinogenic or sensitizin
27、g volatile substances are substantially absent, characterize the emission properties of the adhesive. This can be achieved by sampling the atmosphere around the applied adhesive kept in an environmental test chamber at controlled ambient conditions. BS EN 13999-1:2013EN 13999-1:2013 (E) 6 1 Scope Th
28、is European Standard describes a conventional standard method for assessing potential emissions from adhesives after their application. This European Standard applies only to “solvent-free” and “low-solvent” adhesives as they are defined in EN 923:2005+A1:2008. The adhesives shall be applicable at r
29、oom temperature. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

35、ncluding n-hexane and n-hexadecane on a gas chromatographic column Note 1 to entry: The measurement is carried out using a capillary column coated with 5 % phenyl / 95 % methyl-poly-siloxane. 4 Principle The test determines the emissions of volatile organic substances from adhesive coatings. Very vo
36、latile and mainly particle bound compounds are not detected with the described procedures. The test is performed in an BS EN 13999-1:2013EN 13999-1:2013 (E) 7 emission test chamber (Figure 1) at specified constant temperature, relative humidity, air mixing and air exchange. A measurement of the conc
37、entrations of the compounds of interest in the air of the exhaust pipe is considered representative of the air in the whole test chamber. Sampling and analysis of the non-polar and slightly polar volatile organic compounds, as defined in ISO 16000-6, shall be carried out as described in EN 13999-2.
38、Sampling and analysis of the volatile aldehydes shall be carried out as described in EN 13999-3. Sampling and analysis of the volatile isocyanates shall be carried out as described in EN 13999-4. The test includes: qualitative and quantitative determination of carcinogenic and sensitizing substances
39、 in an early stage after the application of the adhesive sample, determination of the VOC specific emission rate at two points of time. NOTE There are specific applications for which an emission test cell (as described in EN ISO 16000-10 9) can be easier to handle than the emission test chamber, for
40、 instance when a sample is too small to be properly applied into the test chamber. In these cases, it is possible to apply the procedures as given in this European Standard with the exception that a test cell is used instead of the test chamber. However, as the air flow rate across the sample is hig
41、her than with the chamber method, the results can only be used with supporting correlation data. 5 Apparatus 5.1 General The test apparatus shall be comprised of the following main components: support, air supply and mixing facilities, emission test chamber with monitoring and control systems, air s
42、ampling devices and devices for desorption and analysis. 5.2 Support A clean stainless steel plate or a glass plate shall be used as a substrate for the adhesive to be applied. 5.3 Adhesive coating device A device able to ensure a uniform coating of the adhesive to the support (5.2) shall be used. 5
43、.4 Emission test chamber All the components of the chamber (see Figure 1) and connected pipes and tubes that will be in contact with the vapours shall be low emitting and low adsorbing and shall not contribute to the emission test chamber background concentration. Polished stainless steel or glass s
44、hall be used to build the chamber structure. The internal volume of the chamber shall not be less than 0,004 m3, preferably from 0,1 m3to 1 m3. The emission test chamber shall be airtight in order to avoid uncontrolled air exchange with external air. The emission test chamber shall be operated sligh
45、tly above atmospheric pressure to avoid any influence from the laboratory atmosphere. The emission test chamber is considered sufficiently airtight if at least one of the following requirements is fulfilled: air leakage is less than 0,5 % of the chamber volume per minute at an overpressure of 1 000
46、Pa; air leakage is less than 5 % of the supply air flow rate.

48、controlling the air exchange rate at a fixed value with an accuracy of 3 %. The supply and exhaust air system shall be designed to ensure proper mixing of the air inside the chamber and to keep the air velocity at the surface of the test specimen in the range from 0,1 m/s to 0,3 m/s. The supply air
49、shall be very clean and pre-filtered. The TVOC background concentration shall be lower than 20 g/m3. The background concentration of any single target VOC shall be lower than 2 g/m3. The control of background concentration shall be carried out with the empty support (5.2) inside the test chamber. A four-step filter is suggested: a) filtration membrane particle size (maximum 0,5 mg/m3breakthrough); b) activated charcoal (maximum 0,003 mg/m3breakthrough); c) high efficiency compressed air dryer (dew poin
