7.3 How to Understand the Results
7.3.1 Acronyms Used in the Report
< Means less than
> Means bigger than
* Not a part of our accreditation
¤ Please see section regarding uncertainty in the Appendices.
§ Deviation from method. Please see deviation section
a The method is not optimal for very volatile compounds. For these substances smaller results and a
higher measurement uncertainty cannot be ruled out.
b The component originates from the wooden panels and is thus removed.
c The results have been corrected by the emission from wooden panels.
d Very polar organic compounds are not suitable for reliable quantification using tenax TA adsorbent and
HP-5 GC column. A high degree of uncertainty must be expected.
SER Specific emission rate.
7.3.2 Explanation of ID Category
Categories of Identity:
1: Identified and specifically calibrated
2: Identified by comparison with a mass spectrum obtained from library and supported by other information.
Calibrated as toluene equivalent.
3: Identified by comparison with a mass spectrum obtained from a library. Calibrated as toluene equivalent.
4: Not identified, calibrated as toluene equivalent.
