ER = ENC x VOCSTD ÷ VOCNC
where:
ER = the VOC emissions from the non-complying representative product, had it been reformulated.
ENC = the VOC emissions from the non-complying representative product in its current formulation.
VOCSTD = the VOC content limit specified in the Table of Standards in section 235-3.1(a) of this Part.
VOCNC = the VOC content of the non-complying product in its current formulation.
If a manufacturer demonstrates that this equation yields inaccurate results due to some characteristic of the product formulation or other factors, an alternative method which accurately calculates emissions may be used upon approval of the director, Division of Air Resources, Department of Environmental Conservation.
These conditions shall include the VOC content of the innovative product, dispensing rates, application rates and any other parameters determined by the director, Division of Air Resources, Department of Environmental Conservation to be necessary. The director, Division of Air Resources, Department of Environmental Conservation shall also specify the test methods for determining conformance to the conditions established. The test methods shall include criteria for reproducibility, accuracy, sampling and laboratory procedures.
