ABSTRACT:
Given the world in which we live today, corporate environmental sensitivity is critical to the Stakeholders and for many, grounded in ISO 14001. Corporate accountability has thus set the stage for an industrial shift towards more environmentally friendly and worker-safe processes, both in-house for companies and in their supply chain.
With regard to electronics assembly, a key part of any environmental plan is reducing, if not eliminating, VOC emissions. Sadly though, when it comes to the topic of VOC and defining what should be counted as a VOC, a uniform standard has not been adopted by all governments and localities. So VOC emissions is not an exact science but instead a politically defined restriction based on locality. The topic of VOC is compounded even further when one considers that the methodology for VOC calculation and what is considered VOC exempt also changes based on region.
Thus, what is considered a VOC in the US and how a VOC value is calculated, is not the same as in China or Europe or even within different air quality management districts within the US. A good example of this is the SCAQMD, which has established their own guidelines as to what is considered a VOC, how to conduct VOC testing, created a VOC exempt list, and established allowable emission rates (codified through Model Rules including 24, 304 and 313). In addition to VOC, a range of other topics exist such as biodegradability and sustainability.
