Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) regulations limit the VOC content and emissions of paints, coatings, adhesives and consumer goods, under US federal and state rules (EPA, CARB) and international requirements. Global PCCS helps companies measure, assess, reduce and report VOC content across their product lines.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are chemicals that evaporate easily at room temperature and contribute to smog and indoor and outdoor air pollution. Regulators around the world set maximum VOC content limits for paints, coatings, adhesives, cleaning products and other consumer goods.
In the US, VOC content is regulated at the federal level by the EPA and, more stringently, by state agencies such as California's CARB. The EU and other markets apply their own VOC content and emissions limits, including directives covering decorative paints and coatings.
Global PCCS supports companies with VOC compliance assessment, content measurement guidance, regulatory monitoring, reduction and substitution consulting, reporting and recordkeeping, and awareness training.
