Нуктаҳои асосӣ

Built for fast first-pass checks before quotes, specs, and export work.

Ба пакет асосёфта

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

Basis-aware

Агар асоси VOC мувофиқат накунад, асбоб ба ҷои тахмин ба баррасӣ мегузарад.

Намунаҳо

Санҷиши зуд барои рӯйпӯшҳои меъмории EPA

Вуруд

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

Натиҷа

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

Санҷиши зуд барои рангҳои ороишии ИА/ИЗА

Вуруд

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

Натиҷа

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

Санҷиши зуд барои минтақаи фармоишӣ / дигар

Вуруд

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

Натиҷа

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

Эзоҳҳо

  • This tool is for preliminary checks only. Final compliance must follow the destination market's law, local rules, product labels, SDS, and the latest manufacturer specifications.
  • EPA and EU use different VOC bases. If the basis does not match, the tool falls back to review instead of guessing.
  • Aerosols and specialty industrial coatings may be out of scope for the architectural packs.
  • The pack registry is versioned so legal updates can bump the version and trigger review.

Луғат

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.

Мантиқ

  • 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

Саволҳои маъмул

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?

Он барои ҷудо кардани категорияҳои матт ва тобноки ИА ва fallback-и ҳамвор/ғайриҳамвор EPA кӯмак мекунад.

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.

Оё ин маслиҳати ҳуқуқӣ аст?

Не. Ин танҳо ёрии пешакии санҷиш аст. Тасдиқи ниҳоӣ бояд қонуни маҳаллӣ ва нишонаи маҳсулотро пайравӣ кунад.
