§ 1 Scope

This Regulation shall apply to the establishment and operation of the installations referred to in Annex I in which the use of organic solvents is carried out in accordance with Annex II, in so far as the consumption of solvents in the relevant activities is carried out. the thresholds referred to in Annex I shall be exceeded. In the case of installations in which a particular activity is carried out in several partial installations, process steps or side devices, the sum of the respective partial oil consumption consumptions is decisive for the consumption of solvent according to the first sentence. The existence of common, connecting facilities between the sub-installations is not required.

In the event of compliance with the conditions set out in the first sentence, the operator may use any reduction plan which may be specifically set up for its installation. If solvent-free or solvent-free substitutes are still in development, contrary to the assumptions made when the reduction plan is established in accordance with § 4 sentence 2, and there is a foreseeable end to the development, the the competent authority, at the request of the operator, shall grant an adequate extension of the time limit for the implementation of its reduction plan.

Solids are all substances in coating materials, printing inks, clear lacquers, lacquers and adhesives which solidify as soon as the water or the volatile organic compounds are evaporated (e.g. Binders, pigments, fillers in lacquers, paints, adhesives). By multiplying the given total mass of solids by the corresponding multiplication factor from column 3 of the table below, the annual reference emission is to be obtained from: calculating. The competent authority may adjust the multiplication factors referred to in individual installations in order to take account of the demonstrated increased level of solid use in the application of state-of-the-art application methods. .

Guidelines for the use of a ransom balance to demonstrate the fulfillment of requirements The way the ransom balance is used depends on the respective requirement to be checked. In addition to the subsequent reviews, the ransom balance also serves to determine solvent consumption in order to determine whether an installation falls within the scope of the Directive and which requirements as a function of the Threshold must be met.
2.1
Determination of solvent consumption and emissions
2.1.1
Determination of solvent consumption The solvent consumption LV is to be calculated according to the following equation: LV=I1-O8
2.1.2
Determination of emissions To check compliance with a total emission limit value or compliance with the target emission of the reduction plan according to section B of Annex IV, the solvent balance shall be drawn up in order to determine the emissions. Emissions E can be calculated on the basis of the following relationship between the diffuse emissions F and the emissions in the exhaust emissions:
a) E=F + O1 in the case of determination of diffuse emissions in accordance with point 2.2.1a or 2.2.2a,
b) E=F + O1.1 in the case of determination of diffuse emissions in accordance with point 2.2.1b or 2.2.2b.
The calculated emission E can then be compared with the target emission or, after it has been optionally divided by the respective product parameters, with the determined total emission limit value.
2.1.3
In order to assess compliance with the requirements of § 3 (4) (2) (b), the ransom balance shall be drawn up in order to determine the overall emissions of all relevant activities. The result is then to be compared with the total emissions that would have been incurred if the requirements for each individual activity had been met.
2.2
Determination of diffuse emission The diffuse emissions are to be determined either with the following indirect or the direct method: medium method
a)
Non-allocation of emissions in untreated exhaust gases to diffuse emissions

for the installations in points 1.1, 1.3, 5.1, 6.1, 8.1, 9.1 and 9.2, 10.2 or 14.1. in accordance with Annex I.
Direct method
a)
Non-allocation of emissions in untreated exhaust gases to diffuse emissions
F = O2 + O3 + O4 + O9
for the installations in points 1.2, 2.1, 3.1, 4.1 to 4.5, 7.1 and 7.2, 10.1, 11.1, 12.1 and 12.2, 13.1, 15.1, 16.1 to 16.4, 17.1, 18.1, 19.1 in accordance with Annex I,

for the installations of points 1.1, 1.3, 5.1, 6.1, 8.1, 9.1 and 9.2, 10.2, 14.1 in accordance with Annex I.
The amounts of the individual inputs or outputs are determined by time-limited but comprehensive measurements, which do not have to be repeated until the equipment equipment is changed. Alternative equivalent calculations can be carried out. The limit value for diffuse emissions is expressed as a proportion of the solvent used, calculated according to the following relationship: I = I1 + I2.
