How should graphic arts paint or coatings be categorized?

The standards referenced for this credit have been updated since those listed in the LEED Reference Guide – does our project need to follow the latest SCAQMD Rules and Green Seal editions, or the ones listed in the reference guide?

Could anybody please explain to me whether you can declare VOC content on basis of the formulation, or will you always need a test for compliance with this credit?

Reinhard, I don't know the answer to that question but I suppose you could find it through carefully reading the referenced standards. I would guess that you need tesing, because the ingredients could interact in the formulation and create VOCs (?).
