§ 94512. Administrative Requirements. 

(a)No change 

(b) Product Dating. 

(1) Each manufacturer of a consumer product subject to Section 94509 shall clearly 

display on each consumer product container or package, the day, month, and 

year on which the product was manufactured, or a code indicating such date. 

Codes that represent a sequential batch number, or that otherwise cannot be 

attributed to a specific day, month, and year, do not satisfy this requirement. 

(2) A manufacturer who uses the following code to indicate the date of manufacture 

shall not be subject to the requirements of section 94512(c)(1), if the code is 

represented separately from other codes on the product container so that it is 

easily recognizable: 

YY DDD = year year day day day 

 Where: “YY” = two digits representing the year in which the product was 

manufactured, and 

“DDD” = three digits representing the day of the year on which the 

product was manufactured, with “001” representing the first day of the 

year, “002” representing the second day of the year, and so forth 

(i.e. the “Julian date”).

 (3) This date or code shall be displayed on each consumer product container or 

package no later than twelve months prior to the effective date of the applicable 

standard specified in Section 94509. 

(4) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b)(5), for products manufactured on 

or after January 1, 2006, the date or code shall be displayed on the product 

container such that it is readily observable without irreversibly disassembling any 

portion of the product container or packaging. For the purposes of this 

subsection, information may be displayed on the bottom of a container as long as 

it is clearly legible without removing any product packaging. 

(5) Products Sold in Multi-unit Packages. 

(A) Products sold, supplied, or offered for sale in multi-unit packages are not 

required to comply with subsection (b)(4). 
Consumer Products Regulation 2009 Amendments 28

(B) If a multi-unit package does not comply with subsection (b)(4), the 

“sell-through” provisions of section 94509(c)(1) shall not apply to the 

individual product units contained within the multi-unit package. In other 

words, if any multi-unit package produced or assembled after 

January 1, 2006, does not display the date(s) or date-code(s) of the product 

units, such that the displayed information is readily observable without 

irreversibly disassembling any portion of the container or packaging, the 

individual product units shall be subject to the VOC standards in effect when 

the multi-unit package is sold, supplied, or offered for sale, regardless of the 

date on which the product units were manufactured. 

 (C) A multi-unit package may comply with subsection (b)(4) by displaying the 

date of assembly instead of the date(s) or date-code(s) of the individual 

product units, so long as the date of assembly is readily observable without 

irreversibly disassembling any portion of the container or packaging. The 

“date of assembly” means the date that the individual product units are 

assembled into the finished multi-unit package. If the date of assembly is 

displayed instead of the individual date(s) or date-code(s), the “date of 

assembly” shall be the “date of manufacture” for all of the product units 

contained within the multi-unit package. In other words, all of the product 

units shall be deemed to have been manufactured on the date these units are 

assembled into the multi-unit package, even if the individual product units 

show different date(s) or date-code(s), and the “date of assembly” shall be 

“date of manufacture” of each product unit for the purposes of applying the 

“sell-through” provisions of section 94509(c). 

(6) The requirements of this subsection (b) shall not apply to: 

(A) personal fragrance products of 2 milliliters or less, which are offered to 

consumers free of charge for the purpose of sampling the product; or 

(B) products containing no VOCs (as defined in section 94508), or containing 

VOCs at 0.10% by weight or less.

square or rectangular area on the Principle Display Panel that displays, 

at a minimum, the following statements in a font size as large as, or 

larger than, the “signal word” (i.e., “DANGER,” “WARNING,” or 

“CAUTION”) as specified in title 16, Code of Federal Regulations, 

section 1500.121:

 “Formulated to meet California VOC limits; see warnings on label; 

Vea las advertencias en la etiqueta, formulado complacientes con 

leyes de California” or

 (B) Products where the Principle Display Panel displays, in both English and 

Spanish and a font size as large as, or larger than, the font size of all 

other words on the panel, the common name of the chemical compound 

(e.g., “Acetone,” “Methyl acetate,” etc.) that results in the product 

meeting the criteria for “Flammable” or “Extremely Flammable.”

 (3) For the purposes of this subsection (e), a product is “Flammable” or Extremely

Safety Code. 

§ 94515. Test Methods. 

(a)(1) VOC and GWP compound content determination using ARB Method 310. 

Testing to determine compliance with the requirements of this article, shall be 

performed using Air Resources Board Method 310, Determination of Volatile 

Organic Compounds (VOC) in Consumer Products, adopted September 25, 1997 

and as last amended on August 6, 2010 May 5, 2005, which is incorporated 

herein by reference. Alternative methods which are shown to accurately 

determine the concentration of VOCs in a subject product or its emissions may 

be used upon approval of the Executive Officer. 

 (2) In sections 3.5, 3.6, and 3.7 of Air Resources Board (ARB) Method 310, a 

process is specified for the “Initial Determination of VOC Content” and the “Final 

Determination of VOC Content”. This process is an integral part of testing 

procedure set forth in ARB Method 310, and is reproduced below: 

 Sections 3.5, 3.6, and 3.7 of Air Resources Board Method 310 

 3.5 Initial Determination of VOC Content. The Executive Officer will determine 

the VOC content pursuant to sections 3.2 and 3.3. Only those components 

with concentrations equal to or greater than 0.1 percent by weight will be 

reported. 

 3.5.1 Using the appropriate formula specified in section 4.0, the Executive 

Officer will make an initial determination of whether the product meets 

the applicable VOC standards specified in ARB regulations. If initial 

results show that the product does not meet the applicable VOC 

standards, the Executive Officer may perform additional testing to 

confirm the initial results. 

3.5.2 If the results obtained under section 3.5.1 show that the product does 

not meet the applicable VOC standards, the Executive Officer will 

request the product manufacturer or responsible party to supply product 

formulation data. The manufacturer or responsible party shall supply 

the requested information. Information submitted to the ARB Executive 

Officer may be claimed as confidential; such information will be handled 

in accordance with the confidentiality procedures specified in Title 17, 

California Code of Regulations, sections 91000 to 91022. 
Consumer Products Regulation 2009 Amendments 33

 3.5.3 If the information supplied by the manufacturer or responsible party 

shows that the product does not meet the applicable VOC standards, 

then the Executive Officer will take appropriate enforcement action. 

 3.5.4 If the manufacturer or responsible party fails to provide formulation 

data as specified in section 3.5.2, the initial determination of VOC 

content under this section 3.5 shall determine if the product is in 

compliance with the applicable VOC standards. This determination 

may be used to establish a violation of ARB regulations. 

 3.6 Determination of the LVP-VOC status of compounds and mixtures. This 

section does not apply to antiperspirant and deodorants or aerosol coating 

products because there is no LVP-VOC exemption for these products. 

 3.6.1 Formulation data. If the vapor pressure is unknown, the following 

ASTM methods, which are incorporated by reference herein, may be 

used to determine the LVP-VOC status of compounds and mixtures: 

ASTM D 86-01 (Aug. 10, 2001), ASTM D 850-00 (Dec. 10, 2000), 

ASTM D 1078-01 (June 10, 2001), ASTM D 2879-97 (April 10, 1997), 

as modified in Appendix B to this Method 310, ASTM D 2887-01 (May 

10, 2001) and ASTM E 1719-97 (March 10, 1997). 

 3.6.2 LVP-VOC status of “compounds” or “mixtures.” The Executive Officer 

will test a sample of the LVP-VOC used in the product formulation to 

determine the boiling point for a compound or for a mixture. If the 

boiling point exceeds 216oC, the compound or mixture is an LVP-VOC. 

If the boiling point is less than 216o

C, then the weight percent of the 

mixture which boils above 216oC is an LVP-VOC. The Executive 

Officer will use the nearest 5 percent distillation cut that is greater than 

216o

C as determined under 3.6.1 to determine the percentage of the 

mixture qualifying as an LVP-VOC. 

 3.6.3 Reference method for identification of LVP-VOC compounds and 

mixtures. If a product does not qualify as an LVP-VOC under 3.6.2, 

the Executive Officer will test a sample of the compound or mixture 

used in a product’s formulation utilizing one or both of the following: 

ASTM D 2879-97 (April 10, 1997), as modified in Appendix B to this 

Method 310, and ASTM E 1719-97 (March 10, 1997), to determine if 

the compound or mixture meets the requirements of Title 17, CCR, 

section 94508(a)(98)(94)(A). 

 3.7 Final Determination of VOC Content. If a product’s compliance status is not 

satisfactorily resolved under sections 3.5 and 3.6, the Executive Officer will 

conduct further analyses and testing as necessary to verify the formulation 

data. 
Consumer Products Regulation 2009 Amendments 34

 3.7.1 If the accuracy of the supplied formulation data is verified and the 

product sample is determined to meet the applicable VOC standards, 

then no enforcement action for violation of the VOC standards will be 

taken. 

 3.7.2 If the Executive Officer is unable to verify the accuracy of the supplied 

formulation data, then the Executive Officer will request the product 

manufacturer or responsible party to supply information to explain the 

discrepancy. 

 3.7.3 If there exists a discrepancy that cannot be resolved between the 

results of Method 310 and the supplied formulation data, then the 

results of Method 310 shall take precedence over the supplied 

formulation data. The results of Method 310 shall then determine if the 

product is in compliance with the applicable VOC standards, and may 

be used to establish a violation of ARB regulations. 

(b) VOC content determinations using product formulation and records. Testing to 

determine compliance with the requirements of this article may also be 

demonstrated through calculation of the VOC content from records of the amounts of 

constituents used to make the product pursuant to the following criteria: 

(1) Compliance determinations based on these records may not be used unless 

the manufacturer of a consumer product keeps accurate records for each day 

of production of the amount and chemical composition of the individual 

product constituents. These records must be kept for at least three years. 

(2) For the purposes of this section 94515(b), the VOC content shall be 

calculated according to the following equation: 

 where, 

 A = total net weight of unit (excluding container and packaging) 

 B = total weight of all VOCs, as defined in Section 94508(a), per unit 

 C = total weight of VOCs exempted under Section 94510, per unit 

(3) If product records appear to demonstrate compliance with the VOC limits, but 

these records are contradicted by product testing performed using ARB 

 Method 310, the results of ARB Method 310 shall take precedence over the 

product records and may be used to establish a violation of the requirements of 

 VOC Content = B - C x 100 

 A 
Consumer Products Regulation 2009 Amendments 35

this article. 

(c) Aromatic Compound content determination for Multi-purpose Solvent or Paint 

Thinner using ARB Method 310. Testing to determine compliance with the 

requirements of section 94509(u)(1)(C), shall be performed using Air Resources 

Board Method 310, Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) in 

Consumer Products, adopted September 25, 1997 and as last amended on [Date of 

Amendment], which is incorporated by reference herein. Alternative test methods 

that are demonstrated to be equally or more accurate than ARB Method 310 in 

determining the Aromatic Compound content in a product or its emissions may be 

used upon the written approval of the Executive Officer.

(d) Aromatic Compound content determinations for Multi-purpose Solvent or Paint 

Thinner using product formulation and records. Testing to determine compliance 

with the requirements of section 94509(u)(1)(C), may also be demonstrated through 

calculation of Aromatic Compound content from records of the amounts of 

constituents used to make the product pursuant to the following criteria:

(1) Compliance determinations based on these records may not be used unless 

the manufacturer of a Multi-purpose Solvent or Paint Thinner keeps accurate 

records for each day of production of the amount and chemical composition of 

the individual product constituents. These records must be kept for at least 

three years.

(2) For the purposes of this section 94515(d), the Aromatic Compound content 

shall be calculated according to the following equation:

 where, 

 D = total net weight of unit (excluding container and packaging)

 E = total weight of all Aromatic Compounds, as defined in Section 94508(a), per
