Sec. 7.

(a) Except as provided in subsections (c) and (d), the VOC and solids content of adhesives or adhesive primers shall be determined in accordance with the following:
(1) 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Method 24*.
(2) Analytical data derived from a material safety data sheet (MSDS) or equivalent information from the supplier as long as it is based on 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Method 24*.
(b) The organic content of exempt organic compounds shall be determined using ASTM D4457-85*, ASTM International, 100 Barr Harbor Drive, West Conshohocken, Pennsylvania 19428, as applicable.
(c) The VOC content for reactive adhesives shall be determined using the procedures for reactive adhesives in 40 CFR 63, Subpart PPPP, Appendix A*.
(d) If air pollution control equipment is used to meet the requirements of this rule, the owner or operator shall make the following determinations:
(1) The measurement of capture efficiency shall be conducted and reported in accordance with 326 IAC 8-1-4(c).

Vm = volume of material, in liters

(g) Percent VOC by weight shall be calculated according to the following equation:

% VOC by weight = (Wv / W) × 100

Where: Wv = weight of VOCs in grams

W = weight of material in grams
