Footnotes to Table:
<1> Weight is the product's total weight, exclusive of the packaging.
<2> The Federal VOC limits, which became operative December 10, 1998, are
promulgated at 40 CFR 59, Subpart C, Table 1.
<3> As of January 1, 2005, the State limits operative as of April 30, 1996 are
no longer applicable.
<4> See 7:27-24.4(i)  for additional State requirements pertaining to
charcoal lighter material.
<5> On and after January 1, 2009, the contact adhesive category shall be not
applicable and is replaced with two new categories, Contact general purpose
and Contact special purpose.
(b) For the purpose of determining compliance with a VOC content limit set forth in Table 1 above, if the label, packaging, or accompanying literature specifically states that the consumer product should be diluted prior to use, the VOC content of the product shall be determined as follows:
1. If the label, packaging, or accompanying literature states that the product should be diluted with water or non-VOC solvent prior to use, the VOC content of the product shall be determined only after the minimum recommended dilution has taken place. Such minimum recommended dilution shall not include recommendations for incidental use of a concentrated product to deal with limited special applications such as hard-to-remove soils or stains; and
2. If the label, packaging, or accompanying literature states that the product should be diluted with any VOC solvent prior to use, the VOC content of the product shall be determined only after the maximum recommended dilution has taken place.
