# Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/2009 of 22 June 2020 establishing the best available techniques (BAT) conclusions, under Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on industrial emissions, for surface treatment using organic solvents including preservation of wood and wood products with chemicals (notified under document C(2020) 4050) (Text with EEA relevance), Division BAT 24: In order to reduce the consumption of solvents, other raw materials and energy, as well as to reduce VOC emissions, BAT is to use one or a combination of the coating systems given below.

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

Coating system
Description
Applicability
(a)
Mixed (SB-mix) coating
A coating system where one coating layer (primer or base coat) is water-based.
Only applicable to new plants or major plant upgrades.
(b)
Water-based (WB) coating
A coating system where the primer and base coat layers are water-based.
(c)
Integrated coating process
A coating system which combines the functions of primer and base coat and is applied by spray coating in two steps.
(d)
Three-wet process
Coating 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.
Table 7
BAT-associated emission levels (BAT-AELs) for total emissions of VOCs from the coating of vehicles
The 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.
The surface area is defined as set out in Part 3 of Annex VII to Directive 2010/75/EU.
