Sec. 60.496  Test methods and procedures.

    (a) The reference methods in appendix A to this part, except as 
provided in Sec. 60.8, shall be used to conduct performance tests.
    (1) Method 24, an equivalent or alternative method approved by the 
Administrator, or manufacturers' formulation data from which the VOC 
content of the coatings used for each affected facility can be 
calculated. In the event of a dispute, Method 24 data shall govern. When 
VOC content of water-borne coatings, determined from data generated by 
Method 24, is used to determine compliance of affected facilities, the 
results of the Method 24 analysis shall be adjusted as described in 
Section 12.6 of Method 24.
    (2) Method 25 or an equivalent or alternative method for the 
determination of the VOC concentration in the effluent gas entering and 
leaving the control device for each stack equipped with an emission 
control device. The owner or operator shall notify the Administrator at 
least 30 days in advance of any State test using Method 25. The

following reference methods are to be used in conjunction with Method 
25:
    (i) Method 1 for sample and velocity traverses,
    (ii) Method 2 for velocity and volumetric flow rate,
    (iii) Method 3 for gas analysis, and
    (iv) Method 4 for stack gas moisture.
    (b) For Method 24, the coating sample must be a 1-litre sample 
collected in a 1-litre container at a point where the sample will be 
representative of the coating material.
    (c) For Method 25, the sampling time for each of three runs must be 
at least 1 hour. The minimum sample volume must be 0.003 dscm except 
that shorter sampling times or smaller volumes, when necessitated by 
process variables or other factors, may be approved by the 
Administrator. The Administrator will approve the sampling of 
representative stacks on a case-by-case basis if the owner or operator 
can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Administrator that the 
testing of representative stacks would yield results comparable to those 
that would be obtained by testing all stacks.
