         CHAPTER I--ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (CONTINUED)
 
PART 59_NATIONAL VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUND EMISSION STANDARDS FOR CONSUMER 
AND COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS--Table of Contents
 
  Subpart B_National Volatile Organic Compound Emission Standards for 
                      Automobile Refinish Coatings
 
Sec. 59.102  Standards.

    (a) Except as provided in Sec. 59.106 of this subpart, any coating 
resulting from the mixing instructions of a regulated entity must meet 
the VOC content limit given in table 1 of this subpart. VOC content is 
determined according to Sec. 59.104(a).
    (b) Different combinations or mixing ratios of coating components 
constitute different coatings. For example, coating components may be 
mixed one way to make a primer, and mixed another way to make a primer 
sealer. Each of these coatings must meet its corresponding VOC content 
limit in table 1 of this subpart. If the same combination and mixing 
ratio of coating components is recommended by a regulated entity for use 
in more than one category in table 1 of this subpart, then the most 
restrictive VOC content limit shall apply.
