Steps
Open SCAQMD Rule 1113 Table of Standards at aqmd.gov/home/rules-compliance/compliance/vocs/architectural-coatings/tos or its linked PDF
Match the coating type to its category code (e.g., Flats = category 13, Nonflat Coatings = categories 26/27/28, Primers/Sealers/Undercoaters = category 30, Industrial Maintenance = category 19)
Read the current VOC limit in grams per liter, less water and exempt compounds, for that category, noting the effective-date column since limits stepped down over 2014/2016/2019
Check the small-container-exemption column, since some categories lost that exemption on later effective dates
Known gotchas
The published table is labeled 'as of February 5, 2016' — confirm no subsequent rule amendment has superseded it before relying on it for a current bid
Category codes and definitions live on a separate linked coating-category-definitions page — do not guess a category from the coating's marketing name alone
