Designation:D626600a(Reapproved 2017)Standard Test Method forDetermining the Amount of Volatile Organic Compound(VOC)Released From Waterborne Automotive Coatings andAvailable for Removal in a VOC Control Device(Abatement)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6266;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method describes the determination of theamount of volatile organic compound(VOC)released fromapplied waterborne automotive coatings that is available fordelivery to a VOC control device.The determination isaccomplished by measuring the weight loss of a freshly coatedtest panel subject to evaporation or drying and by analysis ofthe VOC or water content in the coating.1.2 This test method is applicable to the VOC released fromapplication and baking operations after the paint has beenapplied in a simulation of a production process,or in an actualproduction facility.1.3 Symbols and calculations from several other methodsthat determine VOC:Practice D3960,EPA 450/3-88-018 andEPA 450/3-84-019 have been incorporated into this testmethod.The majority of symbols and calculations used in thistest method are unique because this test method deals uniquelywith differences in weight of applied paint samples that havebeen subject to drying,curing or solvent addition.NOTE1Training and knowledge of the product being evaluated areessential for obtaining meaningful data from this test method.It isrecommended that several practice runs be performed,and the laboratoriesrepeatability evaluated before performing this test on the test samples.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of whoever uses this standard to consult andestablish appropriate safety and health practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to its use.1.6 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D343 Specification for 2-Ethoxyethyl Acetate(95%Grade)(Withdrawn 1980)3D1186 Test Methods for Nondestructive Measurement ofDry Film Thickness of Nonmagnetic Coatings Applied toa Ferrous Base(Withdrawn 2006)3D1193 Specification for Reagent WaterD1475 Test Method For Density of Liquid Coatings,Inks,and Related ProductsD2369 Test Method for Volatile Content of CoatingsD2697 Test Method for Volume Nonvolatile Matter in Clearor Pigmented CoatingsD3960 Practice for Determining Volatile Organic Compound(VOC)Content of Paints and Related CoatingsD4017 Test Method for Water in Paints and Paint Materialsby Karl Fischer MethodE145 Specification for Gravity-Convection and Forced-Ventilation OvensE691 Practice for Conducting an Interlaboratory Study toDetermine the Precision of a Test Method2.2 U.S.EPA Standards:4EPA 450/3-88-018(Dated December,1988)EnvironmentalProtection Agency Protocol for Determining the DailyVolatile Organic Compound Emission Rate ofAutomobileand Light Duty Truck Topcoat Operations.This protocol1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D01 on Paintand Related Coatings,Materials,and Applications and is the direct responsibility ofSubcommittee D01.21 on Chemical Analysis of Paints and Paint Materials.Current edition approved July 1,2017.Published July 2017.Originally approvedin 1998.Last previous edition approved in 2011 as D6266 00a(2011).DOI:10.1520/D6266-00AR17.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3The last approved version of this historical standard is referenced onwww.astm.org.4Available from U.S.Government Printing Office Superintendent of Documents,732 N.Capitol St.,NW,Mail Stop:SDE,Washington,DC 20401,http:/www.access.gpo.gov.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.1 describes procedures for determining VOC emission re-duction credit in ab
