# 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 26:: In order to reduce total emissions of VOCs and to improve the overall environmental performance of coating of aircraft, BAT is to use technique (a) or both of the techniques given below.

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

Technique
Description
Applicability
(a)
Enclosure
Component parts are coated in enclosed spray booths (see BAT 14 (b)).
Generally applicable.
(b)
Direct printing
Use of a printing device to directly print complex layouts on the aircraft parts.
Applicability may be restricted by technical considerations (e.g. accessibility of the applicator gantry, customised colours).
