aerosol paints

is there any requirements for aerosol paints? which might be used by construction team for marking junction boxes purposes (inside weatherproof). the question is there any criteria regarding the aerosol paints (spray paints)? Thanks in advance for your advise.

See above: How should handheld aerosol spray paints be handled? Handheld aerosol spray paints are not covered by Green Seal GS-11 or SCAQMD Rule 1113, the relevant standards under this credit. A CIR under LEED-NC v2.2 was issued that excluded spray paints from this credit, and there have been no rulings reversing this for LEED 2009 projects, although there is not officially a ruling one way or another that applies to LEED 2009. See LEED Interpretation #2486 2/10/2009.

we have steel doors that will have a very nasty primer put on in the shop that has carbon black, formaldehyde, cobalt based chemical and other nasty stuff. The mfgr provided a (M)SDS for a touch up/ rust inhibitor spray paint that will be used on site that has less nasty ingredients but VOC's are given as 57% not in x g/l. Even though you say spray paints don't fall under LEED NC v2009, this is a rust inhibitor paint. VOCs are 57% by weight. Do I need to worry about this product for LEED NC v2009? (it's not a school or hospital.) THANKS!
