The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IsO technical committees.Eachmemberbodyinterestedinasubjectforwhichatechnicalcommitteehasbeen non-governmental, in liaison with iso, also take part in the work. Iso collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/lEc Directives, Part 2 adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

ISO 16000-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 146, Air quality, Subcommittee SC 6, Indoor air. Iso 16000 consists of the following parts, under the general title Indoor air: Part 1: General aspects of sampling strategy Part 2: Sampling strategy for formaldehyde Part 3: Determination of formaldehyde and other carbonyl compounds Active sampling method Part 4: Determination of formaldehyde Diffusive sampling method Part 6: Determination of volatile organic compounds in indoor and test chamber air by active sampling on Tenax TA sorbent, thermal desorption and gas chromatography using MS/FID Part 9: Determination of the emission of volatile organic compounds Emission test chamber method Part 10: Determination of the emission of volatile organic compounds - Emission test cell method Part 11: Determination of the emission of vola
