Assessor evaluation
Emission measurements were taken in a test chamber on a specimen of ControllRInnerseal provided by
BetonSeal GmbH & Co. KG in Cologne.
The results, documented in the examination report. led to the assessment below. The examination is
based on the professional guidelines set by the office of Dr Zwiener relating to health and safety standards
drawn up by the town council of the City of Cologne for building materials and construction projects.
Carcinogenic, mutagenic and reprotoxic compounds (CMR-VOC) were not detectable 3 days after
placement in the test chamber.
The total volatile organic compounds (TVOC) 3 days after placement in the test chamber amounted to 47
ug/m3 and well below the reference level of 300 ug//m3.
The total VOC without LCI 3 days after placement in the test chamber amounted to 28 ug/m3 and was
well below the reference level of 100 ug/m3.
VOC according to regulation (EG) No. 1272/2008: category carc.2, muta.2, repr.2; TRGS 905: C3, M3,
R3; IARC: Group 2B; DFG MAK list: category lll3 not detectable 3 days after placement in the test
chamber.
Semivolatile organic compounds (SVOC) were not detectable 3 days after placement in the test chamber.
The R value amounted to 0.02 which is well below the reference level of 1.0.
No formaldehyde was detectable 3 days after placement in the test chamber.

Appendix
Explanatory notes to the Specific Emissions Rate (SER)
Rates of emission are measured under defined physical conditions (temperature, relative air humidity,
placement, air exchange rate etc...).
Such test chamber results are only directly comparable if the experiments are conducted under the same
conditions.
If variations in the physical conditions only affect the air exchange rate and/or the placement, results from
SER (specific emissions rates) can be used as reference. The SER measures how much VOC is released
from a given unit of specimen per hour.
The SER can be calculated for each individual component of VOC proved to be present. This calculation
is based in the findings of the examination report with reference to the formulae below:
The following can be taken as unit of specimen:
L = length unit (m)
emissions relating to the length
A = area unit (m2)
emissions relating to the area
V = volume unit (m3)
emissions relating to the volume
U = (complete) unit
emissions relating to the complete unit
This means we can distinguish 4 dimensions of SER:
Length specific
SER(l) in ug/m h
Area specific
SER(a) in ug/m2 h
Volume specific
SER(v) in ug/m3 h
Unit specific
SER(u) in ug/n h
The SER therefore represents a product specific rate that describes the mass of VOC emitted from the
product per unit of time at a given interval after the beginning of the test.
SER = q . C
q
specific air flow rate (quotient from the air exchange rate and the placement)
C
Concentration of the measured substances
The results can be quoted in microgrammes (ug) or milligrammes (mg). 1mg = 1000 ug
