Fragrances incorporated into a regulated consumer product, up to a combined
level of 2% by weight of the product, shall be excluded in calculating the VOC
content of the product.
[2] Air fresheners, less exempt compounds, if comprising entirely of
fragrance are exempted from this Regulation and the VOC limits shall not apply.
[3] For floor wax stripper, the limits refer to the VOC content after
dilution as calculated according to the dilution ratio specified by the
manufacturer of the products.
[4] Insecticides containing at least 98% paradichlorobenzene and bait station
insecticides are exempted from this Regulation and the VOC limits shall not
apply. Bait station insecticides are containers enclosing an insecticidal bait
that is not more than 14.2 grams by weight, where the bait is designed to be
ingested by insects and is composed of solid material feeding stimulants with
less than 5% by weight of active ingredients.
