non-aerosol spray adhesives?

For a non-aerosol spray adhesive, must it comply with SCAQMD 1168 or GS-36?

SCAQMD-1168 explicitly excludes products that it defines as Aerosol Adhesive: “Any adhesive packaged as an aerosol product in which the spray mechanism is permanently housed in a nonrefillable can designed for hand-held application without the need for ancillary hoses or spray equipment.” Green Seal’s VOC limits only apply to products that meet the GS-36 Definition: “Aerosol Adhesive is a mixture of rubber, resins, and liquid and gaseous solvents and propellants packaged in a container for hand-held application.” GC-36 measures aerosol VOC content as a percent by weight. For products that do not meet either definition, for adhesives sprayed by other means, and for spray products that report VOC content in g/L, use SCAQMD-1168.

Thanks! The conflicting definitions had me flummoxed.
