Ideally you would want everyone to use low VOC whether the product is applied on site or off site. However, if for some reason, a high VOC primer was applied in a shop off-site to steel columns which were then propertly dried and cured and installed on site. Would it have any adverse effect during the air testing? What if a touch-up (maybe sanding?) was necessary in the future, would it cause any harm?

The letter of the law is that if it is applied off site, it is not a concern. In addition, i assume that the steel would be either in the inside of drywall or, if exposed, painted? There should not be any impact on IAQ testing.
