Narrative Summary of New Rule or Rule Changes: New Rule Amended Rule 

The amendments to Rule 1113 - Architectural Coatings amend the definition of metallic pigmented coatings to 

make it consistent with the federal AIM rule by removing the words “mica particles or any combination of metallic 

pigments and mica particles.”

Update the Test Method used to determine the weight percent of elemental metal in metallic coatings to AQMD 

Method 318 Determination of Weight Percent Elemental Metal in Coatings by X-Ray Diffraction to reflect the 

method used in current practice.

Delete the following obsolete sentence from Appendix A, Section A of the rule: “Manufacturers that submitted an 

annual exemption report in 2002 for quick-dry primers, sealers and undercoaters and included those coatings in 

their most recent approved ACO Program, may continue to average those coatings until July 1, 2006, so long as 

these coatings do not exceed 450 grams of VOC per liter of coating less water and less exempt compounds, in 

lieu of the otherwise applicable VOC limit of 350 grams per liter.”

Pollutant(s) Regulated by the Rule (Check): ROG (NOx) SO2
