ASTM D1983

ASTM D1983 is a standard test method used to determine the content of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in paints, coatings, or other materials. VOCs are chemicals that can evaporate into the air, potentially causing health issues and environmental concerns. This standard helps manufacturers measure and report the amount of these substances in their products, ensuring compliance with regulations and promoting safer options for consumers. By following ASTM D1983, companies can produce environmentally friendly products while providing transparency to consumers about what is in their materials.
