It must be 14 days. Significant off-gassing and thus lower emissions could happen by day 28. Otherwise it would not be a fair comparison with projects following the standard method.

Alternatively, you can use the ISO 16000 test result after 3 and after 28 days and compare with the European pathway of compliance: AgBB, plus formaldehyde emission after 28 days below 10 µg/m³.
