91000-91022.Santa Barbara County APCD Rule 323.1 323.1 - 16 June 19, 2014 G. Compliance Provisions and Test Methods

1. Calculation of VOC Content: For the purpose of determining compliance with the VOC Content limits in Table 323.1-1, the VOC Content of a coating shall be determined using the procedure described in the appropriate Section C definition. The VOC Content of a tint base shall be

determined without colorant that is added after the tint base is manufactured. If the manufacturer does not recommend thinning, the VOC Content shall be calculated for the product as supplied. If the manufacturer recommends thinning, the VOC Content shall be calculated including the maximum amount of thinning solvent recommended by the manufacturer. If the coating is a multicomponent coating, the VOC Content shall be calculated as mixed or catalyzed. If the coating contains silanes, siloxanes, or other ingredients that generate ethanol or other VOCs during the curing process, the VOC Content sh all include the VOCs em itted during curing.

2. VOC Content of Coatings: To determine the physical properties of a coating in order to perform

the calculations in the Section C definition for VOC Actual for low solids coatings or the Section

C definition for VOC Regulatory for all other architectural coa tings, the reference method for VOC Content is the Environmental Protection Agen cy Method 24, incorporated by reference in Section G.5.h, except as provided in Sections G.3 and G.4. An alternative method to determine the VOC Content of coatings is South Coast Air Quality Management District Method 304-91 (Revised 1996), “Determination of Volatile Or ganic Compounds (VOC) in Various Materials,” incorporated by reference in Section G.5.i. The exempt compounds content shall be determined by South Coast Air Quality Management District Method 303-91 (Revised 1996), “Determination of Exempt Compounds,” or the Bay Area Air Quality Management District Method 43 (Revised 2005), “Determination of Volatile Methylsiloxane s in Solvent-Based Coatings, Inks, and Related Materials,” or the Bay Area Air Quality Management District Method 41 (Revised 2005), “Materials Containing Parachlorobenzotrifluoride,” as applicable, incorpor ated by reference in Sections G.5.g, G.5.e, and G.5. f, respectively. To determine th e VOC Content of a coating, the manufacturer may use the Environmental Protection Agency Method 24, or an alternative method as provided in Section G.3, formulation data, or any other reasonable means for predicting that the coating has been formulated as intended (e.g., quality assurance checks, 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 method is approved as specified in Section G.3. The Control Officer may require the manufacturer to conduct a Method 24 analysis.

3. Alternative Test Methods: Other test methods demonstrated to provide results that are acceptable for purposes of determining compliance with Sec tion G.2, after review and approved in writing by the staffs of the District, the California Air Resources Board, and the Environmental Protection Agency, may also be used.

4. Methacrylate Traffic Marking Coatings: Analysis of methacrylate multicomponent coatings used as traffic marking coatings shall be conducted according to a modification of Environmental Protection Agency Method 24 (40 CFR part 59, subpart D, appendix A), incorporated by reference in Section G.5.j. This method has not been approved for methacrylate multicomponent coatings used for other purposes than as traffic markin g coatings or for other classes of multicomponent coatings.
