ISO 16000-16:2008 specifies requirements for long-term (0,5 h to several hours) sampling of moulds in indoor air by filtration. Following the instructions given, a sample is obtained for subsequent detection of moulds by cultivation after suspension according to ISO 16000-17, which is part of the complete measurement procedure. ISO 16000-16:2008 is not suitable for personal sampling.

Abstract

Overview

Key topics and technical requirements

Sampling principle: Draw a defined air volume through a filter to retain airborne mould spores; spores are later suspended and cultured (ISO 16000-17).
Filters: Gelatine filters (sterile, 3 µm pore) are recommended for high total sampling efficiency; polycarbonate filters (sterile, 0.8 µm pore) may be used underneath for stability. Other filters may be used only if they show ≥90% relative recovery compared with gelatine filters.
Flow velocity and rates: Filter face velocity shall be 100 mm/s to 250 mm/s. For an 80 mm filter this corresponds to ~25 L/min to 55 L/min (≈1.5 m³/h to 3.3 m³/h). The method was validated at 217 mm/s.
Sampling duration: Long‑term sampling from 0.5 hours up to several hours to collect representative airborne spore counts.
Apparatus: Stand, sampling head, sterile filter holder, gelatine and polycarbonate filters, vacuum pump providing constant flow. Sample tubing inner diameter: 8–10 mm.
Quality controls: Field blanks, calibration of flow rate, function control and maintenance, documentation via sampling protocol. The standard addresses sampling efficiency, biological preservation efficiency, physical sampling efficiency, and overall performance characteristics.
Safety and handling: The document contains a warning that hazardous materials and procedures may be involved; users must implement appropriate health and safety practices.
Ancillary content: Includes informative annexes for recovery trials, technical device descriptions, sampling protocol templates and validation trials.

Applications and users

ISO 16000-16 is used by:

Indoor air quality consultants and environmental professionals investigating mould contamination
Microbiology and environmental laboratories performing culture‑based mould enumeration
Building inspectors and remediation specialists assessing dampness/mould problems
Occupational health and safety practitioners monitoring workplace indoor air Practical applications include baseline indoor air surveys, post‑remediation verification, building diagnostics, and comparative studies where standardized, culture‑based airborne mould data are required.
