Volatile Organic Compound Concentration Limits for Certain Products Regulations — 16
Issuance or renewal 16 (1) Subject to subsection (2), the Minister must issue or renew, as the case may be, a permit referred to in subsection 15 (1) if the applicant has demonstrated that, even though the product’s VOC concentration is greater than the applicable maximum VOC concentration set out in column 3 of the table to Schedule 1, the use of the product, in accordance with the manufacturer’s written instructions, results in lower VOC emissions than those that would result from the use of another product that belongs to the same category and, if applicable, the same subcategory that has a VOC concentration that is less than or equal to that maximum VOC concentration. Refusal (2) The Minister must refuse to issue or renew the permit if (a) the Minister has reasonable grounds to believe that the applicant has provided false or misleading information in support of their application; or (b) the information required under subsections 15 (2) to (4) and the certification required under section 26 have not been provided or are insufficient to enable the Minister to process the application. Expiry (3) The permit expires on the fourth anniversary of the day on which it is issued or renewed unless the permit holder submits an application for renewal at least 90 days before the day on which the permit expires and the application is approved by the Minister.
