If you are using organic solvents you may be obliged to comply with the Emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds from Organic Solvents Regulations 2002 (S.I. No. 543 of 2002). In Ireland these regulations are implemented by the existing EPA IPPC Licensing system and also by the AIC system. Depending on the type and quantities of solvents you are using you may need to follow the AIC (Accredited Inspection Contractor) reporting to your relevant local authority or the IPPC (Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control) route for compliance which is controlled by the EPA.
