EMISSIONS, EXPOSURE PATTERNS and HEALTH EFFECTS of
CONSUMER PRODUCTS in the EU
Objectives of EPHECT product testing
to harmonize emission test scenario’s to develop repeatable/reproducible test protocols to evaluate the comparability of results to aim for maximum fit with existing international standards for building/furnishing product testing to compare outcomes of similar experiments in rooms with different dimensions (small rooms – large rooms – real environments)

Examples of standard room concentrations Passive air freshener (30 m³ - 0.5/h) 1 air freshener in 1 m³ up scaled to 30 m³ Perfume (30 m³ - 0.5/h) 1 spray on a cotton cloth in 1 m³ up scaled to 30 m³; peak room concentrations
EPHECT key pollutants marked in red TVOC : C6-C16 according to ISO 16000-6 * Recommended evaluation standard German IRK/AOLG Ad-hoc Working Group, Level 2 - TVOC 0.3-1 mg/m³: ‘No relevant objections, provided that any guide values for individual substances or groups of substances are not exceeded’
0.0509 m³
Conclusions Specific emission rates have been calculated for all studied products ; peak emissions were modelled for all studied products
Total hydrocarbon emission profiles may differ considerably in pattern and magnitude between the studied products
Considerable differences in composition have been identified between products of the same consumer product class
Considerably high TVOCs emissions have been registered
The selected EPHECT priority compounds account for only a minor fraction of the identified volatile organic compounds
Use scenario’s with limited operational steps , allow a better repeatability; Loading factors should be sufficiently high
The smallest applied test chamber showed difficulties for the assessment of terpene emissions from EPHECT products
The EPHECT umbrella for consumer product testing provides a framework to harmonize consumer product testing, yet more
research on repeatability and reproducibility is needed before standardisation of a protocol can take place.
