ISO 16000-29 Determination of Carbon Monoxide in Indoor Air Test
The ISO 16000 series is a set of international standards specifically designed to provide methods for the measurement and evaluation of indoor air quality. Within this framework, ISO 16000-29 focuses on the determination of carbon monoxide (CO) in indoor environments. Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas that can be hazardous if present at levels exceeding safe limits for extended periods.
The standard outlines a comprehensive approach to sampling and analysis, ensuring accurate measurement of CO concentrations in various types of enclosed spaces such as residential buildings, offices, schools, and other occupied areas. This service is essential for maintaining a healthy indoor environment by identifying potential risks early on, thereby preventing adverse health effects associated with CO exposure.
Our laboratory adheres strictly to the procedures specified in ISO 16000-29 when conducting these tests. Our team of experts uses state-of-the-art equipment calibrated according to international standards (ISO/IEC 17025) to ensure precise results. The testing process involves careful sampling, sample transport, and analysis using gas chromatography techniques.
Understanding the importance of this test goes beyond mere compliance; it plays a crucial role in protecting public health and ensuring workplace safety. By detecting even trace amounts of CO in indoor air, we provide valuable insights into potential sources and concentrations of this toxic substance. This information is vital for stakeholders including landlords, facility managers, architects, and engineers who are responsible for creating safe living and working environments.
Compliance with ISO 16000-29 ensures that organizations meet regulatory requirements set forth by authorities like the World Health Organization (WHO) and national governments. Regular monitoring helps identify any changes in CO levels due to alterations in building design, occupancy patterns, or operational practices. Early detection allows for timely interventions aimed at reducing exposure risks effectively.
Our comprehensive service not only meets but exceeds customer expectations through rigorous quality control processes. Each test undergoes multiple stages of validation and verification before final results are reported back to clients. This level of accuracy guarantees reliable data that can be used confidently in decision-making processes related to indoor air quality management.

Scope and Methodology
The scope of ISO 16000-29 encompasses both residential and non-residential buildings where there is a need for assessing CO levels in indoor air. The methodology described within the standard provides clear guidelines on how to collect samples, transport them safely, and analyze them using appropriate instrumentation.
Sampling typically involves placing sensors or samplers at strategic locations throughout the building being evaluated. These devices are designed to capture representative samples of the ambient air over specified periods. Once collected, these samples must be transported under controlled conditions to avoid degradation before analysis can commence.
The analytical procedure specified in ISO 16000-29 utilizes gas chromatography with thermal conductivity detection (GC-TCD). This technique allows for sensitive and accurate quantification of CO concentration down to parts per million levels. The results obtained are expressed as volume fractions relative to dry air, providing a standardized format that facilitates comparison across different studies.
Additionally, the standard includes provisions for quality assurance measures such as proficiency testing programs organized by recognized bodies like A2LA (Accredited Laboratory Association) or ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratories. Participating in these programs ensures continuous improvement of our analytical capabilities and maintains high standards of performance.
By following the prescribed procedures outlined in ISO 16000-29, we ensure that every test conducted adheres strictly to best practices ensuring accurate and reliable results. This commitment to quality is reflected not only in our adherence to international standards but also through ongoing training programs for our staff members.
