The following scheme shall operate for installations for which a constant solid content of product can be assumed: (a) The annual reference emission is calculated as follows: (i) The total mass of solids in the quantity of coating and/or ink, varnish or adhesive consumed in a year is determined. Solids are all materials in coatings, inks, varnishes and adhesives that become solid once the water or the volatile organic compounds are evaporated. (ii) The annual reference emissions are calculated by multiplying the mass determined in (i) by the appropriate factor listed in the table below. Competent authorities may adjust these factors for individual installations to reflect documented increased efficiency in the use of solids. (b) The target emission is equal to the annual reference emission multiplied by a percentage equal to: (i) (the fugitive emission limit value + 15), for installations falling within item 6 and the lower threshold band of items 8 and 10 of Part 2, (ii) (the fugitive emission limit value + 5) for all other installations. (c) Compliance is achieved if the actual solvent emission determined from the solvent management plan is less than or equal to the target emission. Activity | Multiplication factor for use in item (a)(ii) Rotogravure printing; flexography printing; laminating as part of a printing activity; varnishing as part of a printing activity; wood coating; coating of textiles, fabric film or paper; adhesive coating | 4 Coil coating, vehicle refinishing | 3 Food contact coating, aerospace coatings | 2,33 Other coatings and rotary screen printing | 1,5
