A.
				  Calculation of VOC Content.
(1) For the
				  purpose of determining compliance with the VOC content limits in Table 1 of
				  Regulation .05 of this chapter, the VOC content of a coating shall be
				  determined using the following procedures, as applicable:
(a) With the exception of low solids
				  coatings, determine the VOC content (regulatory) in grams of VOC per liter of
				  coating thinned to the manufacturer's maximum recommendation, excluding the
				  volume of any water and exempt compounds using the following equation:
VOC Regulatory = (Ws-Ww- Wee) /(Vm-Vw- Vec) Where:
VOC Regulatory = grams of VOC per liter of coating;
Ws = weight of volatiles, in grams;
Ww = weight of water, in grams;
Wee = weight of exempt compounds, in grams;
Vm = volume of coating, in liters;
Vw = volume of water, in liters; and
Vec = volume of exempt compounds, in liters.
(b) For low solids coatings,
				  determine the VOC content (actual) in units of grams of VOC per liter of
				  coating thinned to the manufacturer's maximum recommendation, including the
				  volume of any water and exempt compounds using the following equation:
VOC Actual = (Ws-Ww- Wee) / (Vm) Where:
VOC Actual = the VOC content of a low solids coating, in
					 grams per liter of coating;
Ws = weight of volatile, in grams;
Ww = weight of water, in grams;
Wec = weight of exempt compounds, in grams; and
Vm = volume of coating, in liters.
