Steps

  1. Fetch the current eCFR text of 40 CFR 59 Subpart D, Table 1.
  2. Locate the 'Traffic marking coatings' row (150 g/L VOC, 1.3 lb/gal) and note the separate 'Zone marking coatings' row (450 g/L) as a distinct category.
  3. Confirm the limit is expressed as VOC content of the coating thinned to the manufacturer's maximum recommendation, excluding water and exempt compounds.
  4. Check whether a given product's SDS VOC figure is reported on the same basis before comparing.
  5. Treat this national ceiling as a floor — confirm it doesn't get superseded by a stricter state or regional limit for the job's location.
