N2 - In order to judge the emission level of furniture, it is common to use a full-scale chamber to test the emission characteristics of the furniture. However, there is lack of proven method to assess the overall performance of the chamber system. In this paper, a kind of emission sample is investigated, which is comprised of a cylinder, a thin film and one kind of purified VOC. It is weighted by microbalance for hours, for the purpose of calculating its emission rate. The main advantage of the presented emission sample is that its emission rate remains constant for months at furniture emission level. Then, the reference emission sample for toluene and benzene are placed in an 3m 3 ventilated chamber separately to calibrate the chamber as a trial. Considering these factors, the objective of this paper is to present the design and performance characteristics of a new constant rate emission reference sample which is suitable for calibrating chamber systems for furniture VOCs emission tests.
