Construction VOC emission (EN 16516) testing cost in the EU
EN 16516 Indoor-air VOC/SVOC — AgBB + French A+: from €1,500 to €3,500 net (indicative). CPR Basic Requirement 3 makes VOC release declarable; one 28-day chamber run satisfies AgBB, French A+, M1, Nordic Swan and BREEAM/LEED at once.
What the package covers
Most cost-driving element
Number of variants — each needs its own dedicated 28-day chamber run; chamber occupancy (not analysis) is the bottleneck, so cost scales almost linearly with specimens.
You pay extra for
- +Each colour / formulation variant (separate 28-day run)
- +Additional sampling time points
- +Extended SVOC / target compounds
- +Multi-language or separate A+ vs AgBB certificate
- +Retest after a fail
The estimate is net of VAT and indicative — a market benchmark, not a quotation. The real figure depends on the number of samples and material variants (the Complexity Factor). Brokers typically add a ~€97 service fee per order.
