RCMA Launches
Subscription Service to
VOC Regulation Maps
The Roof Coatings Manufacturers
Association (RCMA) is offering
the opportunity to purchase annual subscriptions to interactive
Volatile Organic Compound (VOC)
Regulation Maps that track the rules
governing Architectural and Industrial
Maintenance (AIM) Coatings as well
as Adhesives and Sealants in U.S. states
and California Air Districts. Access to
the VOC Regulation Maps is included
with annual membership in the RCMA,
but beginning in 2013 subscription opportunities will be made available for
non-members.
The VOC Regulation Maps have been
developed to allow the user to click on a
state or region to view select portions of
the rule, including VOC limits for several
product categories, labeling and record-
keeping requirements, volume exemp-
tions and active links to the full text of
the applicable rule. The maps are updated
frequently to reflect the latest regulatory
news across the country.
