California Air Resources Board

•  Beginning in the mid-1970s, the Air Resources Board (ARB) and the districts began developing source
   specific rules, such as for individual coating sources like architectural coatings. 

•  Consists of 20 air districts in California.

•  Develops, adopts and enforces rules and regulations that will control emissions.

•  Implements VOC limits, which are consistent with the OTC VOC guidelines. 

• Revised limits to be put in place January 1, 2010.

•  CARB Rule Exemptions
              •  Small Container 
                 Allow manufacturers to manufacture and sell coatings above maximum VOC limits if packages in
                 containers of one liter or less. 

              •  Grandfather 
                 Although a three-year sell through provision was originally written into the various CARB rules, it
                 has since expired, therefore no grandfather clause currently exists. 

•  www.arb.ca.gov

NOTE: All VOC Limits are per EPA Method 24 & reported in grams / liter (g/L) of coating
