Plan for reduced emissions
section 78 Of the operator of an activity covered by this
According to section 12 of the regulation does not choose to follow the
emission limits applicable to the activities referred to in
25 to 77 sections, the operator shall instead comply with a plan
reduced emissions of organic solvents.
The plan must be designed and adapted for business and
the plant activity is carried on.
The plan will involve the emission of organic solvents
from the activity decreases as much or more than what
would have been the effect of applying the
emission limits applicable to the activities referred to in
25-77 §§.
79 § in the case of a business where an organic solvent
used in the form of varnishes, adhesives or inks or for
coating should plan for reduced emissions mean
1. the reference value in the plan are used as
starting point to compare utsläppsminskningens size
According to paragraph 78, as far as possible
correspond to the emissions which would have resulted had no action for
reduced emissions had been taken, and
2. the reduction under the plan is permitted to take the longer
that is reasonable, given that replacement substances
contains no or only a small amount of organic
solvent are still under development.
If, having regard to the circumstances of the individual case
is not appropriate in a plan that meets the requirements of the first
paragraph and the regulator admits that an alternative
plan that meets the requirement in paragraph 78 should be followed.

anticipated a constant concentration of the substances that will be fixed when
the water or the volatile organic compounds are
evaporated, the reference value in the plan are used as
starting point to compare utsläppsminskningens size
According to paragraph 78 is calculated by
1. determine the total mass of solids in the annual
amount of ink, varnish or adhesive or other medium used
for coating (mass), and
2. multiply the value of mass
(a)) with 4, on the activities relating to gravure or flexography,
refers to the laminating or varnishing in a printing business, refer to

come into contact with foodstuffs or coating
space technology, and
(d)) with 1.5, on activities relating to rotary screen printing or

If the regulator admits it, may
multiplication factors in item 2 of the first paragraph is adjusted to
reflect shown increased efficiency as a result of the use
of solids.
81 section For an activity covered by section 80 shall plan for
reduced emissions mean a goal the reduction there
the target emission is determined by the reference value under 80 §
multiplied

emissions according to § 65 59 or, if the activity is subject to
any of those provisions,
2. the sum of 15 plus limit value of fugitive
emissions under section 66, second sentence, if the activity is subject to
by that provision, and
3. the sum of 5 plus the limit value for fugitive
emissions that apply to operations under 45, 48, 50, 51,
52, 56 or 57 or § § 67, first sentence, if the business
covered by any of the provisions.

organic solvents are not larger than the target emission
under section 80.
Substantial modification of a 2001 plant
83 section about it on a 2001 plant carried out an activity
the scope of this regulation and in any part of the
the plant made a change to lösningsmedelstillförseln so
that emissions of organic solvents significantly increases, the
the rules apply only to establishments, 2001
on the changed part only if emissions from the facility in
as a whole does not mean that more organic solvents
placed than what would have occurred if the changed part
would be anything other than a 2001 plant.
The assessment of whether an amendment should be regarded as essential to
be made based on the facts that apply when the plant
operated at the level of production as it is designed and
not during the time when the facility or such part of it as
impact on emissions is put into operation, is taken out of operation, is in
idle mode or maintenance. The change shall be considered as essential
If the maximum lösningsmedelstillförseln, counted as a
average over a day, leads to emissions of
organic solvents increases with
1. more than 25 percent, if the activities of the
plant
(a)) have a solvent consumption amounting to a maximum of 5
tonnes per annum and subject to section 73,
(b)) have a solvent consumption amounting to a maximum of 10
tonnes per annum and subject to 25, 27, 31, 35, 41, 43, 51, 59,
60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 68, 70, 74 or 75 §,
(c)) have a solvent consumption amounting to a maximum of 15
tonnes per annum and subject to section 66 or 67 46,,
d) have a solvent consumption equal to not more than 25
tonnes per annum and subject to 50, 52, 58, 56 or § or
e) have a solvent consumption amounting to no more than 1
000 tonnes per year and subject to section 37, or
2. more than 10 per cent, if the activities of the
the plant is not covered by the 1.
Dispenser
84 § the supervisory authority may waive the provisions
of this regulation relating to the limit values for diffuse
emissions, if
1. in the case of the establishment where the activities are carried out
is not technically and economically feasible to follow
limit value,
2. best available techniques used in business, and
3. a waiver cannot be expected to result in any significant risk
to human health or the environment.
section 85 the supervisory authority may waive the requirements of 66 and
67 § § in the case of shipbuilding, aircraft painting or
other activities, whether
1. it is not possible to use the organic
the solvents in an enclosed process,
2. it is not technically and economically feasible to
meet the requirements, and
3. the technology used is compatible with the requirements of Chapter 2. 3
and 7 of the environmental code.
86 § where the supervisory authority gives a dispensation according to 84 or 85
§, the authority shall inform the environmental protection agency of the dispensation.
Supervision
section 87 Of the environmental protection agency, the supervisory authority shall
send information to the environmental protection agency for each activity
