(3) For fugitive emissions, fugitive emission values to installations shall apply as an emission limit value specified by this Rulebook. However, where it is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the competent authority that for an individual installation this value is not technically and economically feasible, the competent authority can make an exception for such an individual installation provided that significant risks to human health or the environment are not to be expected and that the best available technique is being used;

(4) Activities which cannot be operated under contained conditions may be exempted from the VOC emission limit values when this possibility is explicitly mentioned in Annex 5 of this Rulebook. In this case, the measures specified in the National Emission Reduction Programme are to be used, unless it is demonstrated that this option is not technically and economically feasible and that the best available technique is being used.

(5) For installations not using the measures specified in the National Emission Reduction Programme, any abatement equipment installed after the date on which this Directive is brought into effect shall meet all the requirements of Annex 5 of this Rulebook.

(b) as regards all other VOC substances:

(i) meet the requirements of paragraph 2 of this Article for each activity individually; or

(ii) have total emissions not exceeding those that would have resulted had line 1 point b of this paragraph been applied.

(7) Substances or preparations which, because of their content of VOCs classified as carcinogens, mutagens, or toxic to reproduction, are assigned or need to carry the risk phrases R45, R46, R49, R60, R61 according to Annex 4 of the Rulebook for the requirements for handling hazardous waste and the method of packaging and labeling of hazardous waste, shall be replaced by less harmful substances or preparations.

(8) For discharges of the VOCs referred to in paragraph 7 of this Article, where the mass flow of the sum of the compounds the labeling, according to paragraph 7 of this Article, is greater than, or equal to, 10 g/h, an emission limit value of 2 mg/Nm3 shall be complied with. The emission limit value refers to the mass sum of the individual compounds.

(9) For discharges of halogenated VOCs which are assigned the risk phrase R40, where the mass flow of the sum of the compounds causing the labeling R40 is greater than, or equal to, 100 g/h, an emission limit value of 20 mg/Nm3 shall be complied with. The emission limit value refers to the mass sum of the individual compounds.

(10) The discharge of VOCs referred to in paragraphs 7 and 9 shall be controlled as emissions from an installation under contained conditions as far as technically and economically feasible to safeguard public health and the environment.

(11) Discharges of those VOCs which are assigned one of the risk phrases mentioned in paragraphs 7 and 9 of this Article, shall have to comply with the emission limit values mentioned them respectively, within the shortest possible time.

1.1 Processes

Adhesive coating

Any activity in which an adhesive is applied to a surface, with the exception of adhesive coating and laminating associated with printing activities.

Coating activity

Any activity in which a single or multiple application of a continuous film of a coating is applied to:

vehicles as listed below:

new cars, defined as vehicles of category М1 determined by the Rulebook for approval of new motor vehicles and trailers, systems, components and independent technical units intended for such vehicles (Hereinafter: Rulebook on motor vehicles) and from category N1, unless coated in the same installation as vehicles М1

truck cabins, defined as the housing for the driver, and all integrated housing for the technical equipment, of vehicles of categories N2 and N3 (determined by Rulebook on motor vehicles)

wooden surfaces,

textile, fabric, film and paper surfaces,

leather. It does not include the coating of substrate with metals by electrophoretic and chemical spraying techniques. If the coating activity includes a step in which the same article is printed by whatever technique used, that printing step is considered part of the coating activity. However, printing activities operated as a separate activity are not included, but may be covered by the Directive if the printing activity falls within the scope thereof.

Coil coating

Any activity where coiled steel, stainless steel, coated steel, copper alloys or aluminum strip is coated with either a film forming or laminate coating in a continuous process.

Dry cleaning

- heatset web offset - a web-fed printing activity using an image carrier in which the printing and non-printing area are in the same plane, where web-fed means that the material to be printed is fed to the machine from a reel as distinct from separate sheets. The non-printing area is treated to attract water and thus reject ink. The printing area is treated to receive and transmit ink to the surface to be printed. Evaporation takes place in an oven where hot air is used to heat the printed material,

- laminating associated to a printing activity - the adhering together of two or more flexible materials to produce laminates,

- publication rotogravure - a rotogravure printing activity used for printing paper for magazines, brochures, catalogues or similar products, using toluene-based inks,

- rotogravure - a printing activity using a cylindrical image carrier in which the printing area is below the non-printing area, using liquid inks which dry through evaporation. The recesses are filled with ink and the surplus is cleaned off the non-printing area before the surface to be printed contacts the cylinder and lifts the ink from the recesses,

- rotary screen printing- a web-fed printing activity in which the ink is passed onto the surface to be printed by forcing it through a porous image carrier, in which the printing area is open and the non-printing area is sealed off, using liquid inks which dry only through evaporation. Web-fed means that the material to be printed is fed to the machine from a reel as distinct from separate sheets,

the coating of road vehicles as defined by the Rulebook on motor vehicles or part of them, carried out as part of vehicle repair, conservation or decoration outside of manufacturing installations, or

the original coating of road vehicles as defined Rulebook on motor vehicles or part of them with refinishing-type materials, where this is carried out away from the original manufacturing line, or

The surface area of any product dealt with in the table below is defined as follows:

- the surface area calculated from the total electrophoretic coating area, and the surface area of any parts that might be added in successive phases of the coating process which are coated with the same coatings as those used for the product in question, or the total surface area of the product coated in the installation.

The surface of the electrophoretic coating area is calculated using the formula:

2×total weight of product shell

average thickness of metal sheet×density of metal sheet

This method shall also be applied for other coated parts made out of sheets.

Computer aided design or other equivalent methods shall be used to calculate the surface area of the other parts added, or the total surface area coated in the installation.

The total emission limit value in the table below refers to all process stages carried out at the same installation from electrophoretic coating, or any other kind of coating process, through to the final wax and polish of topcoating inclusive, as well as solvent used in cleaning of process equipment, including spray booths and other fixed equipment, both during and outside of production time. The total emission limit value is expressed as the mass sum of organic compounds per m2 of the total surface area of coated product and as the mass sum of organic compounds per car body.
