drier is used to effect proper drying. Regardless of whether a cobalt drier is

used, soluble cobalt content may not exceed table IV requirements.

3.5.2 Hazardous air pollutants (HAPS). When tested in accordance with 4.7.3, the content of HAPs solvents in

the enamel shall not be greater than the VOC limit prescribed for the enamel (see 1.1). Within this limitation and

the requirement that the finished enamel meet all the requirements of this specification, the solvent selection must

comply with table I.
