IBO - Environmental and Health related Criteria for Buildings - Wood flooring (e.g. parquet flooring, laminated wood flooring) - Flooring adhesives - Decorative paints and varnishes - Wall-coverings (finished wallpapers, wall vinyls and plastic wallcoverings, wallpapers for subsequent decoration, heavy duty wall-coverings, textile wall-coverings) - Adhesive for hanging flexible wall-coverings - Sealings (e.g. polysiloxane sealing, liquid foil) - Bitumen coatings and adhesives (also for outdoor use due to VOC migration) Emissions to indoor air from building products Harmonised horizontal testing methods which still have to be defined by CEN/TC 351 "Construction Products - Assessment of release of dangerous substances" will not be available in the near future. Hardly any mandatory requirements on VOC-emissions from building materials to indoor air exist in Europe, except for Germany or France. In this situation the ECA-EAQ scheme could be used as a basis for assessment. Table 2: Evaluation scheme for the emissions from building materials Requirements / Parameter Minimum (modeled on ECA-EAQ) Excellence (based on natureplus) Measuring method / Chamber Harmonised CEN Standard (based on ISO 16000 series) Harmonised CEN Standard (based on ISO 16000 series) Measuring points (days) 3 and 28 3 and 28 Harmonised list of EU carcinogens classes 1 and 2 compounds not measureable not measureable Single VOCs evaluated (R = Σ Ci/LCI

Then one could not use the declaration for a voluntary scheme requiring a lower emission value (e.g. requiring a threshold of e.g. 0.048 mg/m³ formaldehyde). A shared data handling and reporting tool as suggested by ECA-IAQ (2010) can afford relief to that problem. Miscellaneous Measurements on building sites could be done on a random basis in order to keep costs low. Craftsmen should be aware that their work might be assessed. In addition, preliminary test procedures, to be used before harmonised European standards are available, should be identified. Requirements concerning dangerous substances in, and emissions from, building materials should go as far as possible. In Austria good experiences have been made with the combination of building assessment with product assessment (ecolabels, green public procurement). Detailed criteria for building products can be left to a “product manager” who is in charge of tendering and ordering proper materials. Building assessment systems are limited to requirements for indoor air quality and/or to assessing the “products’ management” or the ecolabelling process itself. Another important step forward would be recording information about installed materials. The EU Eco-Label draft suggests that a list has to be set up with detailed information on the installed materials. If this list also contained information about the ingredients of materials it would be of high importance that bidders were forced to provide this information that is hard to obtain for planners or contracted co-workers in most cases.
