504.1 DETERMINATION OF VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUND CONTENT: Volatile organic compound content of coatings, coating removers (strippers), and solvents shall be determined using EPA Reference Method 24 and Sections 409, 410, 411,

and 504.3 of this rule.

504.2 DETERMINATION OF ACID CONTENT: The weight percent acid in a pretreatment coating shall be determined in accordance with ASTM D1613-06, “Standard Test Method for Acidity in Volatile Solvents and Chemical Intermediates Used in Paint, Varnish, Lacquer, and Related Products” (April 2006).

504.3 DETERMINATION OF COMPOUNDS EXEMPT FROM VOLATILE ORGANIC

COMPOUND DEFINITION: Compounds exempted from the volatile organic compound definition, other t han those determined pursuant to Section 504.7 shall be determined in accordance with ASTM D4457-02, “Standard Test Method for Determination of Dichloromethane and 1,1,1-Trichloroethane in Paints and Coatings by Direct Injection into a Gas Chromatograph” (February 2008), or ARB method 432, “Determination of Dichloromethane and 1,1,1-Trichloroethane in Paints and Coatings” (September 1989). If any of the perfluorocarbons or volatile cyclic and linear methyl siloxanes are being claim ed as exempt compounds, the person makingthe claim must state in advance which compounds are present, and the EPAapproved test method used to make the determination of these compounds.

504.4 DETERMINATION OF CONTROL EFFICIENCY: Control efficiency of the emissions control equipment shall be determined in accordance with EPA Method 25, 25A, 25B, EPA Method 2 or 2C (whichever is applicable), and Section 407.

504.5 DETERMINATION OF COLLECTION EFFICIENCY: Efficiency of the collection system shall be determined in accordance with the following: a. Applicable U.S. EPA methods 204, 204A, 204B, 204C, 204D, 204E, and/or 204F; or b. Any other method approved by the U.S. EPA, the California Air Resources Board, and the Air Pollution Control Officer.

504.6 DETERMINATION OF METALLIC CONTENT: Measurement of metallic content shall be conducted and reported in accordance with South Coast Air Quality Management District Method 318-95, “Determination of Weight Percent Elemental Metals in Coatings by X-ray Diffraction”.

504.7 DETERMINATION OF METHYL ACETATE, ACETONE, t-BUTYL ACETATE, AND

PCBTF CONTENT: The quantity of methyl acetat e, acetone, t-butyl acetate, and parachlorobenzotrifluoride shall be dete rmined by using ASTM Method D6133-02: “Standard Test Method for Acetone, p-Chlor obenzotrifluoride, Methyl Acetate or tButyl Acetate Content of Solvent-borne and Waterborne Paints, Coatings, Resins, and Raw Materials by Direct Injection Into a Gas Chromatograph” (February 2003).SACRAMENTO METROPOLITAN AQMD RULES AND REGULATIONS

August 25, 2011 459-25 504.8 DETERMINATION OF SOLIDS CONTENT IN COATINGS: The solids content shall be determined in accordance with ASTM Standard D2832-92, “Standard Guide for Determining Volatile and Nonvolatile Content of Paint and Related Coatings” (January 2005).

504.9 DETERMINATION OF TRANSFER EFFICIENCY: The transfer efficiency of alternative coating application methods (as specified in Section 306.1(e)) shall be determined using South Coast Air Qualit y Management District “Spray Equipment Transfer Efficiency Test Procedure for E quipment User,” (May 24, 1989) and South Coast Air Quality Management District “Gui delines for Demonstrating Equivalency with District Approved Transfer Efficient Spray Guns,” (September 26, 2002).

504.10 ALTERNATIVE TEST METHODS: The use of other test methods which are determined to be equivalent or better and approved, in writing, by the Air Pollution Control Officer, ARB, and the U.S. EPA may be used in place of the test methods specified in this rule.

504.11 MULTIPLE TEST METHODS: When more than one test method or set of test methods is specified for any testing, a vi olation of any requirement of this rule established by any one of the specified test methods or set of test methods shall

constitute a violation of this rule.SACRAMENTO METROPOLITAN AQMD RULES AND REGULATIONS
