This standard specifies a test method for the determination of the amount of vocs (VOCs) released in solvent-type automotive coatings, including the amount removed in VOC control devices. The test is done by measurement of weight loss of new coating test plates during stoving and is applicable to flash and stoving operations after painting. The standard applies to VOC emissions in a simulated production environment and states that all key factors need to be controlled during testing to ensure the accuracy of results. Users should be mindful of compliance with safety and environment regulations.
