101
PURPOSE: To limit the quantity of volatile organic compounds in architectural coatings
supplied, sold, offered for sale, applied, solicited for application, or manufactured for use within
the District.

102
APPLICABILITY: Except as provided in Section 110, this rule is applicable to any person who
supplies, sells, offers for sale, or manufacturers any architectural coating for use within the
District, as well as any person who applies or solicits the application of any architectural
coating within the District.

103
SEVERABILITY: If a court of competent jurisdiction issues an order that any provision of this
rule is invalid, it is the intent of the Board of Directors of the District that other provisions of this
rule remain in full force and affect, to the extent allowed by law.

for shipment to other manufacturers for reformulation or repackaging;
110.2 Any aerosol coating product; or
110.3 Any architectural coating that is sold in a container with a volume of one liter (1.057
quart) or less.

200
DEFINITIONS

201
ADHESIVE: Any chemical substance that is applied for the purpose of bonding two surfaces
together other than by mechanical means.


202
AEROSOL COATING PRODUCT: A pressurized coating product containing pigments or resins
that dispense product ingredients by means of a propellant, and is packaged in a disposable
can for hand-held application, or for use in specialized equipment for ground traffic/marking
applications.


203
ANTENNA COATING: A coating labeled and formulated exclusively for application to
equipment and associated structural appurtenances that are used to receive or transmit
electromagnetic signals.

204
ANTIFOULING COATING: A coating labeled and formulated for application to submerged
stationary structures and their appurtenances to prevent or reduce the attachment of marine or
freshwater biological organisms. To qualify as an antifouling coating, the coating must be
registered with both the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (7 U.S.C. Section 136, et seq.) and with the California
Department of Pesticide Regulation.

205
APPURTENANCES: Any accessory to a stationary structure coated at the site of installation,
whether installed or detached, including but not limited to: bathroom and kitchen fixtures;
cabinets; concrete forms; doors; elevators; fences; hand railings; heating equipment, air
conditioning equipment, and other fixed mechanical equipment or stationary tools; lampposts;
partitions; pipes and piping systems; rain-gutters and down-spouts; stairways, fixed ladders,
catwalks, and fire escapes; and window screens.

206
ARCHITECTURAL COATING: A coating to be applied to stationary structures and their
appurtenances at the site of installation, to portable buildings at the site of installation, to
pavements, or to curbs. Coatings applied in shop applications or to non-stationary structures
such as airplanes, ships, boats, railcars, and automobiles, and adhesives are not considered
architectural coatings for the purpose of this rule.

from natural deposits or as residues from the distillation of crude petroleum or coal.

208
BITUMINOUS ROOF COATING: A coating which incorporates bitumens that is labeled and
formulated exclusively for roofing.

209
BITUMINOUS ROOF PRIMER: A primer which incorporates bitumens that is labeled and
formulated exclusively for roofing.

concrete to prevent a freshly poured top layer of concrete from bonding to the layer over which
it is poured.

211
CLEAR BRUSHING LACQUERS: Clear wood finishes, excluding clear lacquer sanding
sealers, formulated with nitrocellulose or synthetic resins to dry by solvent evaporation without
chemical reaction and to provide a solid, protective film, which are intended exclusively for
application by brush, and which are labeled as specified in Section 401.5.

212
CLEAR WOOD COATINGS: Clear and semi-transparent coatings, including lacquers and
varnishes, applied to wood substrates to provide a transparent or translucent solid film.

and wood grain.

219
FIRE-RESISTIVE COATING: An opaque coating labeled and formulated to protect the
structural integrity by increasing the fire endurance of interior or exterior steel and other
structural materials, that has been fire tested and rated by a testing agency approved by
building code officials for use in bringing assemblies of structural materials into compliance
with federal, state, and local building code requirements. The fire-resistive coating and the
testing agency must be approved by building code officials. The fire-resistant coating shall be
tested in accordance with ASTM Designation E 119-98, incorporated by reference in Section
502.4.b.
