shall appear on each paint-can label:
a.
Certification that the paint in the container meets the NESHAP requirements for shipbuilding and ship
repair.
b. Statement of the ratio of volatile content to solids expressed as grams of volatile organic hazardous air
pollutants (VOHAP) per liter of solids.

packaged in separate containers. Minimum size for each sample shall be two containers of the size specified
(see 6.2). If one or more defects are found in any sample, the entire lot shall be rejected. The contractor has the
