Designation:D680313Standard Practice forTesting and Sampling of Volatile Organic Compounds(Including Carbonyl Compounds)Emitted from Paint UsingSmall Environmental Chambers1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6803;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This practice provides procedures for preparing testsamples of alkyd primer,alkyd paint,latex primer,or latexpaint applied to building materials such as gypsum wallboard,wood,or engineered wood products and procedures for sam-pling volatile organic compounds(VOCs)emitted from thosetest samples.Emissions are sampled from small environmentalchambers operated under controlled conditions.1.2 This practice describes procedures for preparation oftest specimens by application of primer or paint to commonbuilding materials.Use of the procedures described in thispractice for tests with other application methods or substratesmay affect the results and not meet the criteria recommended inthe practice.1.3 This practice describes procedures for collection ofVOCs on sorbent tubes and carbonyl compounds on silica geltreated with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine(DNPH)that requireanalytical methods for measurement of individual organiccompound concentrations.This practice does not describe thedetailed procedures of analytical methods,but refers to pub-lished methods for these analyses.1.4 This practice describes procedures for testing and sam-pling VOCs emitted from paint under controlled conditions.The test conditions,when combined with analytical data,canbe used to calculate emission rates.This practice does notrecommend a method for the calculations.1.5 Values stated in the International System of Units(SI)are to be regarded as the standard.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D16 Terminology for Paint,Related Coatings,Materials,andApplicationsD1005 Test Method for Measurement of Dry-Film Thick-ness of Organic Coatings Using MicrometersD1212 Test Methods for Measurement of Wet Film Thick-ness of Organic CoatingsD1356 Terminology Relating to Sampling and Analysis ofAtmospheresD3686 Practice for Sampling Atmospheres to Collect Or-ganic Compound Vapors(Activated Charcoal Tube Ad-sorption Method)D3687 Practice for Analysis of Organic Compound VaporsCollected by the Activated Charcoal Tube AdsorptionMethodD5116 Guide for Small-Scale Environmental Chamber De-terminations of Organic Emissions from Indoor Materials/ProductsD5197 Test Method for Determination of Formaldehyde andOther Carbonyl Compounds inAir(Active Sampler Meth-odology)D5466 Test Method for Determination of Volatile OrganicChemicals in Atmospheres(Canister Sampling Methodol-ogy)D6196 Practice for Selection of Sorbents,Sampling,andThermal Desorption Analysis Procedures for Volatile Or-ganic Compounds in AirD6345 Guide for Selection of Methods for Active,Integra-tive Sampling of Volatile Organic Compounds in AirD6886 Test Method for Determination of the IndividualVolatile Organic Compounds(VOCs)in Air-Dry Coatingsby Gas ChromatographyE355 Practice for Gas Chromatography Terms and Relation-ships1This practice is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee D22 on Air Qualityand is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D22.05 on Indoor Air.Current edition approved April 1,2013.Published April 2013.Originallyapproved in 2002.Last previous edition approved in 2007 as D6803-02(2007).DOI:10.1520/D6803-13.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 2.2 Other Referenced Document:3Compendium of Methods for the Determination of ToxicOrganic Compounds in Ambient Air,Compendium Meth-ods TO-15 and TO-17,EPA/625/R-96-010b,January1999,(NTIS No.PB99-172355)3.Terminology3.1 DefinitionsFor definitions and terms used in thispractice,refer to Terminology D1356,Terminology D16,andPractice E355.For definitions and terms related to test methodsusing small-scale environmental chambers,refer to GuideD5116.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 alkyd paintalso referred to as oil paint,it is a paintthat contains drying oil or oil varnish as the basic vehicleingredient.3.2.2 chamber loading(m2/m3)the exposed surface areaof the test specimen coated with paint divided by the testcham
