Materials and adhesives used in the construction of vehicle interiors can emit volatile organic compounds(VOCs), aldehydes, or other substances that are harmful to human body. Korea, Japan, and China have legislation related to this subject and ISO 12219-1:2012 concerns the measurement of volatile organic compounds in cabin interiors. Many vehicle manufacturers have also addressed this issue. Therefore, Korea proposes that WP.29 undertake an effort to establish worldwide uniform standards to ensure healthy vehicle interior air quality (VIAQ).
