Résumé

Indoor air pollutants influence the health and comfort of building occupants and the energy consumption of the building. The pollutants are emitted by various sources. Among these sources, building products are of particular importance because they cannot be easily removed. To control the emission of pollutants from building materials, a few different voluntary labelling systems have been introduced in Europe. In Germany mandatory “Principles for the health assessment of construction products used in interiors” have also been applied for the technical approval of floor coverings since 2004. All of these both voluntary and mandatory systems combine measurements of volatile organic compounds according to ISO 16000-9 and sensory evaluations (new ISO 16000-28). In this paper two German project financed by the Umweltbundesamt (Federal Environmental Agency) will be presented. The first project deals with the questions of how to combine the emission tests with the sensory evaluation and what the best sensory evaluation procedure is for achieving valid and accurate results. The limited values and the evaluation methods will be presented and discussed. In the next step the criteria for labelling those products without an unpleasant odour will be determined. The second project deals with the investigation of the odours in a building before, during and after renovation. The current status of ISO 16000 – 28 (evaluation odour of building products) and 30 (evaluation of indoor Air) will be also presented.
