503 TEST METHODS AND COMPLIANCE PROVISIONS :

503.1 Calculation of VOC Content : For the purpose of determining compliance with the VOC content limits in Section 301, the VOC content of a coating sha ll be determined as

defined in s ubsections 2 76 and 278

. The VOC content of a tint base shall be

determined without colorant that is add ed after the tint bas e is manufactured. If the manufacturer does not recommend thinning, the VOC Content must be calculated for the product as supplied. If the manufacturer recommends thinning, the VOC Content must be calculated including the maximum amoun t of thinning solvent r ecommended by the manufacturer. If the coating is a multi

- component product, the VOC content must be calculated as mixed or catalyzed. If the coating contains silanes, siloxanes, or other ingredients that generate ethanol or other VO C’s during the curing process, the VOC Content must include the VOC’s emitted during curing.

503

. 2 Test Method for VOC Content of Coatings : To determine the physical properties of a coating in order to perform the calculation in s ubs ection s 276 or 278 th e reference method for VOC content is U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Method 24, incorporated by reference in S ub s ection 50 3

. 5. 8 , except as provided in subs ections

503

. 3 and 503

. 4

. An alternative method to determine the VOC content of coatings is

Sout h Coast Air Quality Management District Method 304

- 91 (Revised 1996), incorporated by reference in s ubs ection 50 3

. 5

. 9

.

The exempt compounds content shall be determined by South Coast Air Quality Management District Method 303

- 91 (Revised 1993 ), Bay Area A ir Quality Management District Method 43 (Revised 199 6 ), or Bay Area Air Quality Management District Method 41 (Revised 1995), as applicable , incorporated by reference in

S ubsection s 503. 5

. 22

, 503. 5

. 23 and 503.5. 24, respectively.

To determine the VOC cont ent of a coating, the manufacturer may use U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Method 24, or an alternative method as provided in

Section 503. 3 , formulation data, or any other reasonable means for predicting that the coating has been formulated as intende d (e.g. quality assurance checks, or recordkeeping). However, if there are any inconsistencies between the results of a Method 24 test and any other means for determining VOC content, the Method 24 test results will govern, except when an alternative metho d is approved as specified inOctober 14, 2010 Rules and Regulations 218

- 22 Placer C ounty APCD Section 503. 3 . The Air Pollution Control Officer may require the manufacturer to conduct a Method 24 analysis.

503

. 3 Alternative Test Method: Other test methods demonstrated to provide results that are acceptable for purpose s of determining compliance with subs ection 50 3 .1, after review and approved in writing by the staffs of the District, the California Air Resources Board, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, may also be used.

503

. 4 Methacrylate Traffic Marking C oatings: Analysis of methacrylate multicomponent coatings used as traffic marking coatings shall be conducted according to a modification of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Method 24 (40 CFR 59, subpart D, Appendix A), incorpor ated by reference in S u bs ection 503

. 5

. 10

. This method has not been approved for methacrylate multicomponent coatings used for purposes other than as traffic marking coatings or for other classes of multicomponent coatings.

- 0 9c , “Standard Test Methods for Fi re Tests of Building Construction and Materials”, (see Section 2 23 , Fire

Resistive Coating).

503
