American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). Current edition approved July 1, 2005. Published August 2005. Originally approved in 1998. Last previous edition approved in 2000 as D 6266 – 00a. 8 p. This test method describes the determination of the amount of volatile organic compound (VOC) released from applied waterborne automotive coatings that is available for delivery to a VOC control device.
