Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) Effective 
								on the date
			 specified for that coating in the table in paragraph (A) of rule
			 3745-113-03 of the
			 Administrative Code, each manufacturer of any AIM coatings subject to
			 this rule shall display the following information on the coating container (or
			 label) in which the coating is sold or distributed:
(1) Date code: The date the coating was
			 manufactured, or a date code representing the date, shall be indicated on the
			 label, lid, or bottom of the container. If the manufacturer uses a date code
			 for any coating, the manufacturer shall file an explanation of each code with
			 the director.
(2) Thinning
			 recommendations: A statement of the manufacturer's recommendation regarding
			 thinning of the coating shall be indicated on the label or lid of the
			 container. This requirement does not apply to the thinning of architectural
			 coatings with water. If thinning of the coating prior to use is not necessary,
			 the recommendation shall specify that the coating is to be applied without
			 thinning.
(3) VOC content: Each
			 container of any coating subject to this rule shall:
(a)
										For products
			 manufactured before January 1, 2024:
(i)
											Display either the maximum or the actual VOC content of
			 the coating, as supplied, including the maximum thinning as recommended by the
			 manufacturer.
(ii)
											Display VOC content in grams of VOC per liter of
			 coating.
(iii)
											Calculate the VOC content using product formulation
			 data, or by determining using the test methods in rule
			 3745-113-06 of the
			 Administrative Code. VOC content is calculated using the equations in rule
			 3745-113-01 of the
			 Administrative Code.
(b)
										For products
			 manufactured on or after January 1, 2024: display one of the following values
			 in grams of VOC per liter of coating:
(i)
											Maximum VOC
			 content as determined from all potential product formulations.
(ii)
											VOC content as
			 determined from actual formulation data.
(iii)
											VOC content as
			 determined using the test methods in rule
			 3745-113-06 of the
			 Administrative Code.
If the manufacturer does not recommend
				thinning, display the VOC content, as supplied, on the container. If the
				manufacturer recommends thinning, display the the VOC content including the
				maximum amount of thinning solvent recommended by the manufacturer on the
				container. If the coating is a multi-component product, display the VOC content
				as mixed or catalyzed on the container. If the coating contains silanes,
				siloxanes, or other ingredient that generate ethanol or other VOCs during the
				curing process, include the VOCs emitted during curing in the VOC content. VOC
				content is calculated using the equations in rule
				3745-113-01 of the
				Administrative Code.
