Footwear production
Footwear production
Footwear production is any process for the manufacture of entire footwear or its parts.
Solvent consumption threshold
If the total annual solvent consumption of an installation performing the manufacture of entire footwear or its parts is greater than 5 t/year, the installation is subject to the requirements of the VOC Regulation and classified as a VOC operator.
Based on the total annual solvent consumption, VOC operators are classified as small or medium installations; the prescribed emission limit values for these installations depend on this classification and are listed in Annex 5 of the VOC Regulation.
