Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the CouncilShow full title

PART 3 U.K. Emission limit values for installations of the vehicle coating industry

1. The total emission limit values are expressed in terms of grams of organic solvent emitted in relation to the surface area of product in square metres and in kilograms of organic solvent emitted in relation to the car body. U.K.

2. The surface area of any product dealt with in the table under point 3 is defined as the surface area calculated from the total electrophoretic coating area, and the surface area of any parts that might be added in successive phases of the coating process which are coated with the same coatings as those used for the product in question, or the total surface area of the product coated in the installation. U.K.

The surface of the electrophoretic coating area is calculated using the following formula:

This method shall also be applied for other coated parts made out of sheets.

Computer aided design or other equivalent methods shall be used to calculate the surface area of the other parts added, or the total surface area coated in the installation.

3. The total emission limit values in the table below refer to all process stages carried out at the same installation from electrophoretic coating, or any other kind of coating process, through to the final wax and polish of topcoating inclusive, as well as solvent used in cleaning of process equipment, including spray booths and other fixed equipment, both during and outside of production time. U.K.

Activity(solvent consumption threshold in tonnes/year)	Production threshold(refers to annual production of coated item)	Total emission limit value
		New installations	Existing installations
Coating of new cars (> 15)	> 5 000	45 g/m2 or 1,3 kg/body + 33 g/m2	60 g/m2 or 1,9 kg/body + 41 g/m2
	≤ 5 000 monocoque or > 3 500 chassis-built	90 g/m2 or 1,5 kg/body + 70 g/m2	90 g/m2 or 1,5 kg/body + 70 g/m2
		Total emission limit value (g/m2)
Coating of new truck cabins (> 15)	≤ 5 000	65	85
	> 5 000	55	75
Coating of new vans and trucks (> 15)	≤ 2 500	90	120
	> 2 500	70	90
Coating of new buses (> 15)	≤ 2 000	210	290
	> 2 000	150	225

4. Vehicle coating installations below the solvent consumption thresholds mentioned in the table under point 3 shall meet the requirements for the vehicle refinishing sector set out in Part 2. U.K.
