Designation:D680319Standard Practice forTesting and Sampling of Volatile Organic Compounds(Including Carbonyl Compounds)Emitted from ArchitecturalCoatings Using Small-Scale 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 describes procedures for testing the emis-sions of volatile organic compounds(VOCs),formaldehyde,and other carbonyl compounds,from alkyd paint,latex paint,primer,and other architectural coating samples using a small-scale environmental chamber test facility.1.2 This practice describes the requirements for the chambertest facility,the small-scale test chamber,the clean air supplysystem,the environmental controls,the environmental moni-toring and data acquisition system,and the chamber airsampling system.1.3 This practice describes procedures for documenting thepaint and coating samples and for the handling and storage ofthese samples including splitting of samples into smallercontainers for storage and subsequent testing.1.4 This practice identifies appropriate substrates to be usedfor the preparation of test specimens of paints and coatings,aswell as procedures for preparing substrates for use.1.5 This practice provides detailed procedures for preparingtest specimens of paint and coating samples.1.6 This practice generally describes chamber test proce-dures and chamber air sampling procedures.The details ofthese procedures are dependent upon the objectives of the test.1.7 This practice does not recommend specific methods forsampling and analysis of VOCs,formaldehyde,and othercarbonyl compounds.The appropriate methods are dependentupon the objectives of the test.1.8 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.9 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,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.10 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.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 ofAtmospheresD3687 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 OrganicCompounds in Atmospheres(Canister Sampling Method-ology)D6196 Practice for Choosing Sorbents,Sampling Param-eters and Thermal Desorption Analytical Conditions forMonitoring Volatile Organic Chemicals in Air1This 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 Aug.1,2019.Published September 2019.Originallyapproved in 2002.Last previous edition approved in 2013 as D6803 13.DOI:10.1520/D6803-19.2For 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 StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.1 D6886 Test Method for Determination of the Weight PercentIndividual Volatile Organic Compounds in WaterborneAir-Dry Coatings by Gas ChromatographyD8141 Guide for Selecting Volatile Organic Compounds(VOCs)and Semi-Volatile Organic Compounds(SVOCs)Emission Testing Methods to Determine Emission Param-eters for Modeling of Indoor EnvironmentsE355 Practice for Gas Chromatography Terms and Rela
