VOC Product Regulations

The BCF has produced question and answer leaflets on the Volatile Organic Compounds VOC in Paints, Varnishes and Vehicle Refinishing Products Regulations 2005. These are aimed at the decorative and vehicle refinish sectors and provide useful guides to half a dozen or so common questions on the new Regulations. They are aimed at professional decorators, specifiers of coatings and bodyshops and will also be of use to sales and marketing teams in member companies. 

The BCF has produced a list classifying decorative products into their relevant categories. See here.

Also available is a list of 'out of scope' products under 2004/42/CE.  See here.
