### (G) Compliance Provisions and Test Methods

(1) Calculation of VOC Content

(a) (a) For the purpose of determining compliance with the VOC C c ontent limits

in Table 1 and Table 2 , the VOC C c ontent of a C c oating shall be determined by using the procedures described in subsection (i) or (ii) below, as appropriate. If the manufacture does not recommend thinning, the VOC Content must be calculated for the product as The supplied. The VOC1113-30 MDAQMD Rule 1113 Architectural Coatings d5, 02/27/2012 C c ontent of a T t int B b ase shall be determined without C c olorant that is added

after the T t int B b ase is manufactured. Effective January 1, 2013 if the coating is a multi-component product, the VOC Content must be calculated as mixed or catalyzed. Effective January 1, 2013, if the co ating contains silanes, siloxanes, or other ingredients that generate ethan ol or other VOCs during the curing process, the VOC Content must include the VO Cs emitted during curing.
