Characteristics of Specific ERC
Emission Fractions
(in application and
drying)
Air
a) Total volatile substances:
Emissions to air of organic solvents from the industrial application of
coatings and inks are regulated by the Solvent Emissions Directive
(1999/13/EC).
Emission fraction is dependent on
- the sector concerned
- the annual solvent usage (tonnage)
- the emission control option selected
These are found in Annexes IIA and IIB of the directive
CEPE SPERC 4.1a.v1: 0.008
Justification
i) Emission limits from The Solvent
Emissions Directive (1999/13/EC)

Safe Use
Communication in eSDS
The REACH registrant establishes a set of standard conditions of safe use for a substance for wide dispersive use in the application of coatings by consumers by adopting the
conditions specified in this SPERC. This information is documented in the Chemical Safety Report and communicated in the extended Safety Data Sheet.
All other parameters underlying a substance exposure scenario based on this SPERC are implicitly referred to via the reference to this SPERC.
