  • Created:
  • Reference: KBCN0355

BS EN 13300:2001 is used to classify paint types.

This then allows the appropriate VOC content limit to be identified in Decorative Paint Directive 2004/42/CE (Phase 2).

The product supplier will need to confirm the paint type according to BS EN 13300.

You can then refer to Decorative Paint Directive 2004/42/CE (Phase 2) to check that the correct VOC content limit has been complied with.
