What is ISO/IEC 28360-1 about?
ISO/IEC 28360-1 discusses methods to determine chemical emission rates of analytes from ICT & CE equipment during intended operation in an Emission Test Chamber (ETC). ISO/IEC 28360-1 also provides specific methods for equipment using consumables such as printers and equipment not using consumables such as monitors and PCs.
ISO/IEC 28360-1 is the first part of a multi-part series that specifies the methods to determine chemical emission rates of VOC and carbonyl compounds from electronic equipment using consumables.
ISO/IEC 28360-1 defines two methods the quasi-equilibrium model (QEM) and the constant emission model (CEM) to determine the pre-operating phase.
Note 1: Under ISO/IEC 28360-1 prediction of “real indoor” concentrators from the determined emission rates are not covered.
Who is ISO/IEC 28360-1 for?
ISO/IEC 28360-1 on using consumables for determination is relevant to:
- Electrical equipment manufacturers
- Academic institutions
- Environmental organizations
- Governmental agencies
- Academic institutions
Why should you use ISO/IEC 28360-1?
Globally, various methods are developed to determine chemical emissions from electrical equipment. But due to the lack of comparability between the results from the test, various editions came into the market.
Under ISO/IEC 28360-1 two methods were used depending on the technical application of the user to determine chemical emission rates from electrical equipment.
ISO/IEC 28360-1 assist in baseline testing for regulatory risk assessments for user exposure.
ISO/IEC 28360-1 reduces odour complaints and assists in determining consumer acceptability for a more environment-friendly product.
ISO/IEC 28360-1 assist the user in creating low emission, more environmentally friendly products that have global acceptance in the market.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS ISO/IEC 28360-1:2021 supersedes BS ISO/IEC 28360-1:2018 which is withdrawn. BS ISO/IEC 28360-1:2021 has incorporated RAL-UZ options as methods with respect to BS ISO/IEC 28360-1:2018.
