32. The emission of volatile organic compounds into the atmosphere from the combined paint application activities of a furniture, cupboard, casket or other wood products manufacturing establishment, except an establishment referred to in section 30 or 31, may exceed the limit prescribed by section 27, provided that the volatile organic compound content of the paints applied does not exceed the limit set out in the following table for each type of paint:

Washcoat 730

Translucent stain 760

Non-grain raising stain 780

Filler 480

Sealer 670

Pigmented coating 600

For the purposes of this section, the volatile organic compound content is established according to the monthly weighted average composition of the volumes used for each type of paint. If a solvent, hardener or catalyst is mixed with the paint, the volatile organic compound content of the product must be included in the calculation of the average content of the paint used to determine its volatile organic compound content.
