# The Environmental Authorisations (Scotland) Regulations 2018, Paragraph 62


(1) Any activity (other than the repainting or respraying of, or of part of, aircraft or road or railway vehicles) for applying to a substrate, or drying or curing after such application, printing ink or paint or any other coating material as, or in the course of, a manufacturing activity, where the activity may result in the release into the air of particulate matter or of any volatile organic compound, and is likely to involve the use in any 12 month period at any location of—
(a) 20 tonnes or more of any printing ink, paint or other coating material which is applied in solid form (other than in respect of an activity described in paragraph 7(c) of Chapter 2 of Part 4 of schedule 20),
(b) 20 tonnes or more of any metal coating which is sprayed on in molten form,
(c) 25 tonnes or more of organic solvents in respect of any cold set web offset printing activity or any sheet fed offset litho printing activity,
(d) 5 tonnes or more of organic solvents in respect of any activity other than one described in sub-paragraph (c).
(2) Repainting or respraying road vehicles or parts of them if the activity may result in the release into the air of particulate matter or of any volatile organic compound and the carrying on of the activity by the person concerned at the location in question is likely to involve the use of 2 tonnes or more of organic solvents in any period of 12 months.
(3) Repainting or respraying aircraft or railway vehicles or parts of them if the activity may result in the release into the air of particulate matter or of any volatile organic compound and the carrying on of the activity by the person concerned at the location in question is likely to involve the use in any period of 12 months of—
(a) 20 tonnes or more of any paint or other coating material which is applied in solid form,
(b) 20 tonnes or more of any metal coating which is sprayed on in molten form, or
(c) 5 tonnes or more of organic solvents.
(4) Any activity involving the—
(a) manufacture or formulation of any coating material (such as printing ink) containing, or involving the use of, an organic solvent, where the carrying on of the activity by the person concerned at the location in question is likely to involve the use of 100 tonnes or more of organic solvents in any 12 months period,
(b) manufacture of a powder for use as a coating material where the plant has capacity to produce 200 tonnes or more of such powder in any 12-month period.
(5) In this paragraph, the amount of organic solvent used in an activity is calculated using the formula—
A-Bwhere—
“A” is the total input of organic solvents into the process, including both solvents contained in coating materials and solvents used for cleaning or other purposes,
“B” is the amount of organic solvents that are removed from the process for re-use or for recovery for re-use.
