On page 37, sub-criterion 2.2 (b):

for:

| ‘(b) | Chemical substances classified as harmful for the environment by the chemical manufacturer/supplier in accordance with EU classification system (28th Amendment to Directive 67/548/EEC) shall comply with the two following limits:






  — | chemical substances classified as harmful for the environment in accordance with the Directive 1999/45/EC must not be added to substances and preparations for surface treatment.
  Nevertheless the products may contain up to 5 % volatile organic compounds (VOC) as defined in Directive 1999/13/EC (2) (VOC shall mean any organic compound having at 293,15 K a vapour pressure of 0,01 kPa or more, or having a corresponding volatility under the particular conditions of use). If the product requires dilution, the contents of the diluted product must not exceed the abovementioned threshold values, |

If the product requires dilution, the contents of the diluted product must not exceed the abovementioned threshold values,

| — | the applied quantity (wet paint/varnish) of environmentally harmful substances shall not exceed 14 g/m2 surface area and applied quantity (wet paint/varnish) of VOC shall not exceed 35 g/m2. |
| --- | --- |

—

the applied quantity (wet paint/varnish) of environmentally harmful substances shall not exceed 14 g/m2 surface area and applied quantity (wet paint/varnish) of VOC shall not exceed 35 g/m2.

Assessment and verification: the applicant shall provide a declaration of compliance with this criterion, together with documents to support this declaration, including:

| — | a complete recipe with designation of quantities and CAS numbers for constituent substances, |
| --- | --- |

—

a complete recipe with designation of quantities and CAS numbers for constituent substances,

| — | the test method and test results for all substances present in the product, according to the Directive 67/548/EEC, |
| --- | --- |

—

the test method and test results for all substances present in the product, according to the Directive 67/548/EEC,

| — | a declaration stating that all constituent substances have been disclosed, |
| --- | --- |

—

a declaration stating that all constituent substances have been disclosed,

| — | number of coats and quantity applied per coat per square metre of surface. |
| --- | --- |

—

number of coats and quantity applied per coat per square metre of surface.

The following standard degrees of effectiveness are used for the purpose of calculating the consumption of surface treatment product and of the applied quantity: spraying device without recycling 50 %, spraying device with recycling 70 %, electrostatic spraying 65 %, spraying, bell/disk 80 %, roller coating 95 %, blanket coating 95 %, vacuum coating 95 %, dipping 95 %, rinsing 95 %.’
