Parties other than Canada and the United States of America

a) “Substances” means any chemical element and its compounds, as they occur in the natural state or as produced by industry, whether in solid or liquid or gaseous form;

f) “Organic solvent” means any VOC which is used alone or in combination with other agents to dissolve or dilute raw materials, products, or waste materials, or is used as a cleaning agent to dissolve contaminants, or as a dispersion medium, or as a viscosity adjuster, or as a surface tension adjuster, or as a plasticiser, or as a preservative;

g) “Coating” means any mixture, including all the organic solvents or mixtures containing organic solvents necessary for its proper application, which is used to provide a film with decorative, protective or other functional effect on a surface;

h) “Film” means a continuous layer resulting from the application of one or more coats to a substrate;

i) “Water-borne coatings (WB)” means coatings the viscosity of which is adjusted by the use of water;

j) “Solvent-borne coatings (SB)” means coatings the viscosity of which is adjusted by the use of organic solvent;

k) “Placing on the market” means making available to third parties,

whether in exchange for payment or not. Importation into the Parties customs territory shall be deemed to be placing on the market for the purposes of this annex.
