  "text": "Coating system\nDescription\nApplicability\n(a)\nMixed (SB-mix) coating\nA coating system where one coating layer (primer or base coat) is water-based.\nOnly applicable to new plants or major plant upgrades.\n(b)\nWater-based (WB) coating\nA coating system where the primer and base coat layers are water-based.\n(c)\nIntegrated coating process\nA coating system which combines the functions of primer and base coat and is applied by spray coating in two steps.\n(d)\nThree-wet process\nCoating system where the primer, base coat and clear coat layers are applied without intermediate drying. The primer and base coat may be solvent-based or water-based.\nTable 7\nBAT-associated emission levels (BAT-AELs) for total emissions of VOCs from the coating of vehicles\nThe BAT-AELs refer to emissions from all process stages, carried out at the same installation from the electrophoretic coating or any other kind of coating process up to and including the final wax and polish of the topcoat, as well as solvents used in cleaning of production equipment, both during and outside the production period.\nThe surface area is defined as set out in Part 3 of Annex VII to Directive 2010/75/EU.\nParameter\nVehicle type\nUnit\nBAT-AEL(Yearly average)\nNew plant\nExisting plant\nTotal VOC emissions as calculated by the solvent mass balance\nPassenger cars\ng VOCs per m2 of surface area\n8–15\n8–30\nVans\n10–20\n10–40\nTruck cabins\n8–20\n8–40\nTrucks\n10–40\n10–50\nBuses\n< 100\n90–150\nThe associated monitoring is given in BAT 10.",
