Comments and proposals of modification to the draft basic coating system requirements
2 Japan believes that standards for protective coating shall take the environmental aspects into account. There are some environmentally-unfriendly requirements in the draft basic coating system requirements. For instance, the number of coats should be decreased to the minimum for giving incentive to use VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) free or reduced coating paints or solvent-free paints, which give enough dry film thickness by one coat application.
3 Japan believes also the requirement for number of coating interrupt technology developments for use low VOC coating system.
4 Japan proposes, as set out in the annex to this document, the modifications to the draft basic coating system requirements in the proposed draft performance standard of coating system in document DE 48/12.
