Regarding your product the limit is 100 gr/L, there is a category called floor coating. I believe there is no difference between mines water and less water, both mean reported voc limit of a product is prior water dilution.

Andreas: I realize this comes long after your initial inquiry. Be sure you are looking at the credit referenced version of Rule 1113 available at http://www.usgbc.org/node/1732511?view=resources The credit is essentially a fly in amber in that it references a long outdated version of Rule 1113 with all of its definitions and limits. As a point of clarification, the 'ceiling limit' is part of the newest version of the regulation. That defines a maximum VOC cap for manufacturers using an exemption system known as corporate averaging. For manufacturers not using averaging, the limit is simply the limit. But it is only relevant if you are selling products into the Los Angeles basin today.
