    [Correction]

    Architectural and Industrial Maintenance Coatings

       A numbering error appeared at 33 Pa.B. 5297 (October 25, 2003) in the adoption of Chapter 130, Subchapter C (relating to architectural and industrial maintenance coatings). The sections in Subchapter C should be numbered §§ 130.601--130.611.

       Two additional errors appeared in § 130.303, Table 1 (renumbered § 130.603) and § 130.311(a)(1) (renumbered § 130.611). The corrected version appears in Annex A.

    § 130.611.  Compliance provisions and test methods.

       (a)  Calculation of VOC content. For the purpose of determining compliance with the VOC content limits in § 130.303 Table 1 (relating to VOC content limits for architectural and industrial maintenance coatings), the VOC content of a coating shall be determined by using the procedures described in this subsection or subsection (b), as appropriate. The VOC content of a tint base shall be determined without colorant that is added after the tint base is manufactured.

    *      *      *      *      *

       (2)  For low solids coatings, determine the VOC content 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. Determine the VOC content using Equation 2 as follows:

    Equation 2:  VOC Content (ls) =
    (Ws - Ww - Wec)
    ________________
             (Vm)

    Where:

    VOC Content (ls) = the VOC content of a low solids coating in grams of VOC per liter of coating

    Ws = weight of volatiles, in grams
