AB  - Emission testing of products is currently a rapidly increasing field of 
      measurement activity. Labeling procedures for construction products are based on 
      such emission test chamber measurements, and hence, measurement performance 
      should be verified. One possible route is to conduct testing of one material in 
      different laboratories within a round robin test (RRT), ideally using homogeneous 
      reference materials, which can be used within interlaboratory studies or as part 
      of the quality management system to ensure comparable results. The applicability 
      of a lacquer system with nine added VOCs (hexanal, styrene, n-decane, limonene, 
      2-ethyl-1-hexanol, N-methyl-alpha-pyrrolidone, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, dimethyl 
      phthalate, and n-hexadecane) was evaluated in an international RRT with 55 
      participating laboratories. An intralaboratory quality check confirmed the 
      homogeneity and reproducibility of the lacquer material for most of the compounds 
      (RSD 5%-6%), which was confirmed in the RRT. However, emissions varied for the 
      polar compound N-methyl-alpha-pyrrolidone and the higher boiling compounds 
      1,2-dimethyl phthalate, and n-hexadecane which could be traced back to analytical 
      issues. In the RRT, the interlaboratory relative standard deviations (RSDs) 
      ranged from 30% to 65% for all participants but for reference laboratories the 
      range was between 20% and 45%.
