Material VOC vs. Coating VOC?

NC-2009 IEQc4.2:Low-Emitting Materials—Paints and Coatings

I have product submittals that list both the material VOC and the coating VOC for wood stains and lacquers, the latter of which is substantially higher.

Exempt compounds

NC-2009 IEQc4.2:Low-Emitting Materials—Paints and Coatings
posted by  Paola Figueiredo, Newton Figueiredo  on 

The LEED´s definition of VOC should not be exclude the exempt compounds from the VOC content. However, according to the SCAQMD rules 1113 and 1168, the exempt compounds must be calculated.

Rule 1113

NC-2009 IEQc4.2:Low-Emitting Materials—Paints and Coatings
posted by  Emily Catacchio  on 

Rule 1113 was amended on June 3rd 2011 and now the limit for clear wood varnish is 275. I assume updates to Rule 1113 apply to LEED. Is this correct?

Hello, Do you guys know if the VOC testing could be done by the paint manufacturer or should it be undertaken by a third party ? Should the testing be done in accordance to a special standard ?
