# §59.102. Standards.

- (a) Except as provided in [§ 59.106](/cfr/40/59.106.md) of this subpart, any coating resulting from the mixing instructions of a regulated entity must meet the VOC content limit given in table 1 of this subpart. VOC content is determined according to [§ 59.104(a)](/cfr/40/59.104.md?p=a).
- (b) **Different combinations or mixing ratios of coating components constitute different coatings.** For example, coating components may be mixed one way to make a primer, and mixed another way to make a primer sealer. Each of these coatings must meet its corresponding VOC content limit in table 1 of this subpart. If the same combination and mixing ratio of coating components is recommended by a regulated entity for use in more than one category in table 1 of this subpart, then the most restrictive VOC content limit shall apply.
