*The VOC content is determined using the
								weight of volatile compounds, less water and exempt compounds, as specified in
								9VAC5-45-710 of this article.
B. Except as provided in
					 9VAC5-45-630 B through E, in
					 subsection G of this section, and in
					 9VAC5-45-660, no person shall use,
					 or apply for compensation, any adhesive, sealant, adhesive primer or sealant
					 primer in excess of the applicable VOC content limits specified in Table
					 45-6A.
C. The VOC content limits in
					 Table 45-6A for adhesives applied to particular substrates shall apply as
					 follows.
1. If an owner or other person uses
					 an adhesive or sealant subject to a specific VOC content limit for such
					 adhesive or sealant in Table 45-6A, such specific limit is applicable rather
					 than an adhesive-to-substrate limit.
2. If an adhesive is used to bond dissimilar
					 substrates together, the applicable substrate category with the highest VOC
					 content shall be the limit for such use.
