A representative color shall be determined based upon the volume of coating used in relation to the total volume of coating category coatings used and any other parameters acceptable to the department. If it is believed by the department that the transfer efficiency of the various coatings within the same coating category would be different as a result of different coating technologies, such as for metallic topcoat coatings and nonmetallic topcoat coatings, 2 or more representative coating colors may be required by the department to be tested.

The retesting shall be done as soon as practicable, but not more than 180 days after the start-up and stabilization of the new product, process, material, or application equipment. New transfer efficiency values determined by the retest shall be used retroactively to the start-up of the new product, process, material, or application equipment.

(d) Retests on a coating line may be limited to a representative coating on not less than 2 representative parts in a representative processing sequence, as approved by the department.

(ii) A volume measurement procedure that is acceptable to the department.

(k) Each painted test part shall be reweighed to the nearest 0.01 pound after paint has cured and cooled.

(l) The weight of the solids in the paint samples shall be determined using ASTM-D2369. ASTM-D2369 is adopted in these rules by reference.

(i) The general modifications are as follows:

(a)(4)(iii)(a)(2) If a source owner or operator uses a control device designed to collect and recover voc, for example, carbon adsorber, an explicit measurement of capture efficiency is not necessary if the conditions described in 40 C.F.R. §52.741(a)(4)(iii) are met. The overall emission reduction efficiency of the control system shall be determined each day by directly comparing the input liquid voc to the recovered liquid voc. The procedure for use in this situation is given in 40 C.F.R. §60.433, with the following modifications:

(i) The source owner or operator shall obtain data each day for the solvent usage and solvent recovery and determine the solvent recovery efficiency of the system each day using a 7-day rolling period. The recovery efficiency for each day is computed as the ratio of the total recovered solvent for that day and the prior 6 consecutive operating days to the total solvent usage for the same 7-day period weighted average as given in 40 C.F.R. §60.433. This ratio shall be expressed as a percentage. The ratio shall be computed within 72 hours after each 24-hour period. With the approval of the administrator, a source that believes that the 7-day rolling period is not appropriate may use an alternative multi-day rolling period of not more than 30 days.
