Regulation of AIM Coatings Sees Increased Activity

摘要

Several states and local California Air Districts have recently proposed amendments to their regulations governing volatile organic compound (VOC) limits in architectural and industrial maintenance (AIM) coatings. California's South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) has proposed amendments to its Rule 1113 (AIM VOC rule) and Rule 314 (AIM Fee rule). A major issue for industry with Rule 1113 is the fast-approaching January 1, 2014 requirement that all small containers need to be labeled (e.g., date code and VOC content).
