VOC Regional Compliance Denetleyici for Architectural Coatings

Enter the country or region, coating category, VOC value, and basis to check the regulation that applies to the market.

EPA architectural coatings and EU/EEA decorative paints are bundled as the initial packs for a fast architectural coatings review.

Region pack Category VOC Limit Sources

Key puan

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

Pack-based

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

Basis-aware

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

Örnekler

EPA architectural coating quick check

Girdi

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

Çıktı

Durum = büyük olasılıkla uyumlu, limit = 250 g/L, marj = +70 g/L, not = suyu, muaf bileşikleri ve boya bazı renklendiricisini hariç tuttuktan sonra karşılaştırın

EU/EEA decorative paint quick check

Girdi

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

Çıktı

Durum = büyük olasılıkla limitin üzerinde, limit = 30 g/L, marj = -12 g/L, not = alt kategoriyi ve etikette kullanıma hazır g/L'yi onaylayın

Custom / other region quick check

Girdi

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

Çıktı

Durum = büyük olasılıkla uyumlu, limit = 50 g/L, marj = +5 g/L, not = özel notu girildiği gibi göster

Notlar

  • 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.

Glossary

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.

Kayıtic

  • 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

SSS

EPA ve AB neden aynı VOC değeri için farklı sonuçlar veriyor?

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?

İlk geçiş kontrolü için Özel / diğer bölgeyi kullanın ve daha sonra resmi bir paket ekleyin.

Is this legal advice?

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