# The Environmental Authorisations (Scotland) Regulations 2018, Paragraph 13: Compliance: emission limit values


(1) Emission limit values for solvent emissions activities are to be determined in accordance with Table 2—
Table 2
Activity
Threshold (solvent consumption threshold in tonnes/year)
Emission limit values in waste gases (mg C/Nm3)
Fugitive emission limit values (percentage of solvent input)
Total Emission Limit Values
(1)Emission limit values (1) and (2) refer to mass of compounds in mg/Nm3 and not to total carbon.
(2)Installations which demonstrate to SEPA that the average organic solvent content of all cleaning material used does not exceed 30% by weight are exempt from application of the emission limit values for this activity.
(3)Compliance with paragraph 9(2) of this schedule is to be demonstrated based on 15 minute average measurements.
(4)Coating activities which cannot be carried out under contained conditions (e.g., shipbuilding, aircraft painting) may be exempt from the emission limit values for this activity.
(5)The emission limit values in paragraph 7(1)(b)(ii) of this schedule do not apply to this activity.
(6)Does not apply for impregnation with creosote.
(7)Total emission limit values for installations processing individual batches of seeds and other vegetable matter are to be determined by SEPA on a case-by-case basis applying the best available techniques.
