we are trying to identify a product to check its VOC limit, however, the supplier identified the product as Prefabricated Architectural Multi- Component and touch up from RULE 1107. COATING OF METAL PARTS AND PRODUCTS while LEED only states rule 1113 of SOUTH COAST AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT DISTRICT and we can't categorize the product under rule 1113 , so my question is can we follow the voc limit states in RULE 1107 of SOUTH COAST AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT DISTRICT ??

What is the VOC content, that is the determining factor, irregardless, of the RULE.

Soha—Will the coating that you are researching be applied onsite, or will this coating be applied off-site in a factory or workshop?
I ask because SCAQMD-1107 “does not apply to the coating of architectural components coated at the structure.” This suggests that the coating may be intended only for in-shop application.
Because IEQc4.2 limits the VOC content of paints and coatings used “inside of the weatherproofing system and applied ONSITE,” any onsite application and onsite touch-up of shop-applied coating should comply with the VOC limits specified in GS-11-1993, GC-03-1997, SCAQMD-1113-2004, CARB-2007, or the other, international standards cited in IEQc4.2 credit requirements.
