1 Saint Ouen l'aumone, the 22 th of June 2016 Evaluation of Volatile Organic Compounds and aldehydes emitted by a Anodized aluminium profile supply by ALUMINIOS CORTIZO according to ISO Report N D Customer: AMUNMINIOS CORTIZO David Macia Arias Number of sample: 1 Received: 31-May-2016 Y. MALVAUT (temporary replacement of C.NICOLET, Technical Manager) Laboratory of Interior Air / VOC analyses The test report relates only to items subject to testing or analysis.

2 Report n D I- Objective The objective of this test was to characterize and quantify the emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by Anodized aluminium profile supply by ALUMINIOS CORTIZO to comply with to the decree N of march 2011 and 19 th april Emission ratings were established on the basis of measurements taken after 3 days and/or 28 days in an emission test chamber. The aim was to classify emission rate from A+ to C, A+ indicating a very low level of emissions and C a high level of emissions. The level of emissions is indicated by the exposure concentration, expressed in µg.m -3. II- Principle of the test The Anodized aluminium profile supply by ALUMINIOS CORTIZO was conditioned as described in the ISO method for 28 days in an emission test chamber under constant conditions of temperature, relative humidity and air flow rate per unit specific surface. Samples of chamber air emissions were carried out after 28 days of conditioning according to ISO methods for VOC analysis method for testing ISO aldehydes. The interpretation of the results was based on targets set by the table below.
