Statement of conformity with DIBt / ABG emissions principles / AgBB 2018

The sample with the internal sample no. 56488-A001 has been tested on behalf of Regupol BSW GmbH. The article
description according to the customer is REGUPOL everroll ultimate (thickness 12 mm, colour: red).

This evaluation is based on the "Requirements for structural systems with regard to health protection" (i.e. „Anforderungen
an bauliche Anlagen bezüglich des Gesundheitsschutzes“, ABG, as of May 2019) from the Model Administrative Regulation for
Technical Building Regulations MVV TB, edition 2019/1 and the requirements of the AgBB-scheme 2018 (Committee for
Health-related Evaluation of Building Products).
The assessment is subject to the confirmation by the “German Institute of Structural Engineering (Deutsches Institut für
Bautechnik DIBt)”.
This test report does not replace a general technical approval by DIBt.

The results documented in the test report were evaluated as follows.1

Requirement hold
Test parameter Result Requirement
[yes/no]

Emission analysis

Measurement time: 3 days after test chamber loading

Sum VOC (C6-C16) including SVOC with LCI 1) 0.061 mg/m³ ≤ 10 mg/m³ yes

Sum carcinogenic substances (EU cat. 1A and 1B) < 0.001 mg/m³ ≤ 0.01 mg/m³ yes

Measurement time: 28 days after test chamber loading

Sum VOC (C6-C16) including SVOC with LCI 1) 0.012 mg/m³ ≤ 1 mg/m³ yes

Sum SVOC without LCI (C16-C22) 1) < 0.005 mg/m³ ≤ 0.1 mg/m³ yes

R-Wert (dimensionless) 0.13 ≤ 1 yes

Sum VOC without LCI < 0.005 mg/m³ ≤ 0.1 mg/m³ yes

Sum carcinogenic substances (EU cat. 1A and 1B) < 0.001 mg/m³ ≤ 0.001 mg/m³ yes

1) for Sum VOC (C6-C16) and Sum SVOC (C16-C22) only substances ≥ 5 µg/m³ are considered

1 If a measurement result that slightly exceeds the specification is assessed as “not fulfilled”, this is based on the agreement of the “shared risk of
measurement uncertainty (shared risk approach)”. According to this, the probability that the statement is correct is ≥ 50%. Similarly, a result slightly
below the specification value also only has a probability of ≥ 50 % of being compliant. I.e., the risk of making a false negative statement regarding the
fulfilment of the specification is just as high as the risk of making a false positive statement (more information at https://www.eco-
institut.de/en/2019/07/measurement_uncertainty/).

Note:
Due to different requirements in the respective guidelines, the calculation of TVOC, TVVOC, TSVOC and
R-value may result in different values.
Short-chain carbonyl compounds (C1-C5) are quantified via HPLC acc. to DIN ISO 16000-3:2013-01. Therefore, no toluene equivalents are given for VVOC.
These substances are taken into concern by means of their substance specific calibration via the sum of VVOC acc. to DIN EN 16516:2020-10. For VOC
however, the substance specific calibration takes place via HPLC whereas the TVOC is calculated using the toluene equivalent determined via Tenax acc. to
DIN EN 16516:2020-10.

Due to different requirements in the respective guidelines, the calculation of TVOC, TVVOC, TSVOC and
R-value may result in different values.
Short-chain carbonyl compounds (C1-C5) are quantified via HPLC acc. to DIN ISO 16000-3:2013-01. Therefore, no toluene equivalents are given for VVOC.
These substances are taken into concern by means of their substance specific calibration via the sum of VVOC acc. to DIN EN 16516:2020-10. For VOC
however, the substance specific calibration takes place via HPLC whereas the TVOC is calculated using the toluene equivalent determined via Tenax acc. to
DIN EN 16516:2020-10.

Commentary on emission analysis

Test method

Measurement of the volatile organic compounds takes place in the test chamber in conditions similar to those applying in
practice. Standardized test conditions are defined for the test chamber regarding loading, air exchange, relative humidity,
temperature and incoming air, based on the type of test specimen and the required guideline. These conditions and the
underlying standards are to be found in the section on test methods in the laboratory report.
Air samples are taken from the test chamber at defined points in time during the continuously running test. To this end,
approximately 5 L of air are collected from the test chamber with an air flow rate of 100 mL/min for Tenax and approx. 100 L
with an air flow rate of 0.8 L/min for DNPH (dinitrophenylhydrazine).
After thermal desorption, the substances adsorbed on Tenax are analysed using gas chromatographic separation and mass
spectrometric determination. The gas chromatographic separation is performed with a slightly polar capillary column of 60 m
in length.
The substances derivatized with DNPH for the determination of formaldehyde and other short-chain carbonyl compounds (C1 -
C6) are analysed using high-performance liquid chromatography.
Over 200 compounds, including volatile organic compounds (C6 - C16), semi-volatile organic compounds (C16 - C22) and –
insofar as possible with this method – also very volatile organic compounds (less than C6) are determined and quantified
individually from 1µg/m³.
All other substances – insofar as is possible – are identified through comparison with a library of spectra. The quantification of
these substances and non-identified substances is performed through a comparison of their signal area with the signa of the
standard d8 toluene. The identification and quantification of substances is carried out, as far as technically feasible, from a
concentration (evaluation limit) of 5 µg/m3 test chamber air.

Quality assurance

The eco-INSTITUT Germany GmbH is granted flexible scope of accreditation pursuant to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018-03. The
accreditation covers the analytical determination of all volatile organic compounds, including the test chamber method.
In each analysis the analytical system is checked using an external standard based on the specifications in standard DIN EN
16516:2020-10. The stability of the analytical systems is documented based on the test standard using control charts.
Laboratory performance is assessed at least once a year in inter-laboratory comparisons by comparing the results with those
obtained by other laboratories for identical samples.
A blank is run prior to introducing the test specimen into the test chamber to check for the possible presence of volatile organic
compounds.
The expanded measurement uncertainty U for the analytical determination of all volatile organic compounds, including the test
chamber method, is estimated to 41.7 %. The calculation is based on DIN ISO 11352:2013-03 (Nordtest).

Explanation of Specific Emission Rate SER

Emission measurements are accomplished in test chambers under defined physical conditions (temperature, relative humidity,
room loading, air change rate etc.).
Test chamber measurement results are directly comparable only if the investigations were accomplished under the same basic
conditions.
If the differences of the physical conditions refer only to the change of air rate and/or the loading, the "SER" or "specific
emission rate" can be used for comparability of the measurement results. The SER indicates how many volatile organic
compounds (VOC) are released by the sample for each material unit and hour (h).
The SER can be calculated using the formula below for each proven individual component of the VOC from the data in the test
report.

As material units the following are applicable:

l = unit of length (m) relation between emission and length
a = unit area (m²) relation between emission and surface
v = unit volume (m³) relation between emission and volume
u = piece unit (unit = piece) relation between emission and complete unit

From this the different dimensions for SER result:

length-specific SERl in µg/(m·h)
surface-specific SERa in µg/(m²·h)
volume-specific SERv in µg/(m³·h)
unit specific SERu in µg/(u·h)

SER thus represents a product specific rate, which describes the mass of the volatile organic compound, which is emitted by
the product per time unit at a certain time after beginning of the examination.

SER = q·c

q specific air flow rate (quotient from change of air rate and loading)
c concentration of the measured substance(s)

The result can be indicated in milligrams (mg) in place of micro grams (µg), whereby 1 mg = 1000 µg.
