Comprobador de cumplimiento regional de COV para recubrimientos arquitectónicos

Introduce el país o región, la categoría de recubrimiento, el valor de COV y la base para comprobar la normativa aplicable al mercado.

Los paquetes para EPA architectural coatings y EU/EEA decorative paints están incluidos desde el inicio para una revisión rápida.

Paquete regional Categoría COV Límite Fuentes

Puntos clave

Pensado para comprobaciones rápidas antes de presupuestos, especificaciones y entregas.

Basado en paquetes

Start from EPA / EU-EEA / Custom, then expand the registry later.

Consciente de la base

If the VOC basis does not match, the tool falls back to review instead of guessing.

How to use

Use the panel below to move from market selection to a regulation check in one pass.

  1. 1. Choose a country or region pack.
  2. 2. Choose a coating category and add 60° gloss or product form if needed.
  3. 3. Enter the VOC value and basis such as ready-to-use or thinned-to-max-recommendation.
  4. 4. Review the status, limit, margin, and label notes.
  5. 5. Copy the result or share the current URL if needed.

Samples

EPA architectural coating quick check

Input

Country/region = United States (EPA), category = Flat coatings, VOC = 180 g/L, basis = thinned to max recommendation, product form = liquid

Output

Status = likely compliant, limit = 250 g/L, margin = +70 g/L, note = compare after excluding water, exempt compounds, and tint base colorant

EU/EEA decorative paint quick check

Input

Country/region = EU/EEA (Decopaint), category = Interior matt walls and ceilings (WB), VOC = 42 g/L, basis = ready-to-use, 60° gloss = 12, product form = liquid

Output

Status = likely over limit, limit = 30 g/L, margin = -12 g/L, note = confirm the subcategory and ready-to-use g/L on the label

Custom / other region quick check

Input

Country/region = Custom / other region, category = Custom / special case, VOC = 45 g/L, basis = ready-to-use, custom limit = 50 g/L

Output

Status = likely compliant, limit = 50 g/L, margin = +5 g/L, note = show the custom note as entered

Notas

  • Esta herramienta es solo para comprobaciones preliminares. El cumplimiento final debe seguir la ley del mercado de destino, las normas locales, las etiquetas del producto, la SDS y las especificaciones más recientes del fabricante.
  • EPA y UE usan bases de COV distintas. Si la base no coincide, la herramienta pasa a revisión en lugar de adivinar.
  • Los aerosoles y los recubrimientos industriales especiales pueden quedar fuera del alcance de los paquetes arquitectónicos.
  • El registro de paquetes tiene versión para que las actualizaciones legales puedan subir la versión y disparar revisión.

Glosario

VOC

Volatile organic compounds. Regulations often use a g/L limit.

ready-to-use

Value in the use-ready condition, including the required additions.

thinned-to-max-recommendation

Value after the manufacturer's maximum recommended thinning.

WB / SB

WB means waterborne and SB means solventborne.

subcategory

The product subcategory shown on EU labels.

overlay

Add-on rules from a state or province.

manual review

A state where the tool does not make a definitive machine decision because data is missing or the basis does not match.

Lógica

  • normalizedVOC = convert(vocValue, vocUnit -> packUnit)
  • margin = limit - normalizedVOC
  • usageRatio = normalizedVOC / limit
  • pass = normalizedVOC <= limit
  • warn = pass and usageRatio >= warningThreshold
  • review = missing required data / basis mismatch / unresolved category

Preguntas frecuentes

Why do EPA and EU give different results for the same VOC value?

The bases differ. EPA uses thinned-to-max-recommendation, while EU uses ready-to-use.

Why is 60° gloss needed?

It helps split EU matt vs glossy categories and the EPA flat/nonflat fallback.

Can aerosols be checked?

They are out of scope for the architectural packs. Use a custom pack or another pack if needed.

What if my market is not listed yet?

Use Custom / other region for a first-pass check and add an official pack later.

Is this legal advice?

No. It is a preliminary check helper only. Final confirmation should follow the local law and product label.
