Christine Däumling AgBB and EU-LCI WG
(former German Environment Agency, UBA)
Example for the Need of Emission Tests for Building Products
AgBB historyEuropean Perspectives

Importance of emission testing - our own experience
Whenbuilding our
new headquarter
inDessau,
Germany 2004….
" Only materials which respond to high health- and environment compatibility standards with regard to source, transport,
manufacture, use and disposal shall be used“
e.g. 18,600 m² rubber flooring…
Samples had a strange smell..

Standardizedsample preparation(accord. EN ISO 16000-11)
Standardizedemission testin chamber
after 3 and 28 days
(EN ISO 16000-6, -9, -10)
Evaluationof results
according to AgBB-scheme
Results were beyond the limits of
AgBB-criteria
for suspected carcinogen
Naphthalene: 3 fold beyond
the limits
for proven
carcinogen1,3 Dichlorpropanol
22-fold beyond the limits

German Approach in AgBB-Scheme: Fundamentals in Assessment of Chemical
Emissions from Building Products1. assess the toxicological relevance
of all detected single substances
- identify harmless or relevant VOC with help of LCI values
- identify carcinogens
3. limit the total amount of emissions of volatile organic compounds - TVOC, TSVOC
2. limit the unassessable substances (precautionary principle)

History of Harmonisation Initiatives • 2007: International Conference “Construction Products and Indoor
Air Quality”, Berlin, 4-5 June UBA initiative to investigate potential for harmonisation
• 2008 - 2009: Work on Harmonisation of labelling systemsM1 DICL AgBB AFSSET Results in
ECA 27
• 2010 International expert hearings on Labelling and on LCI, both coordinated by JRC Ispra
• 2011 – 2012 Work on Harmonization of LCI; Results in ECA 29Procedure and consequences presented 12/2012 …
• 2013 – 2015 further work under own steam for EU-LCIs
• 2015 – 2019 mandated by COM DG Growth work for the full listof EU-LCIs as needed for CPRegulation and CE marking

Different regulations in Germany, France and Belgium..Lituania to come?
SWEDEN……?
Problem:French and German regulations include different substances, LCI values and approaches to labelling; Belgium refers to EU-LCI list and AgBB
Reality challenges:
