*****

(j) Requirements for Floor Wax Strippers. After an effective date of 

January 1, 2002, no person shall sell, supply, offer for sale, or manufacture

for use in California any floor wax stripper unless the following requirements 

are met:

(1) The label of each non-aerosol nonaerosol floor wax stripper must specify a 

dilution ratio for light or medium build-up of polish that results in an as-used VOC 

concentration of 3 percent by weight or less.

(2) If a non-aerosol nonaerosol floor wax stripper is also intended to be used for 

removal of heavy build-up of polish, the label of that floor wax stripper must 

specify a dilution ratio for heavy build-up of polish that results in an as-used VOC 

concentration of 12 percent by weight or less.

(3) The terms “light build-up,” “medium build-up” or “heavy build-up” are not 

specifically required, as long as comparable terminology is used.

*****

(m) Requirements limiting the use of specific toxic compounds in specific consumer 

products categories.

(1) Requirements for products listed in Table (m)(1).

Except as provided below in sections 94509(m)(4), and (m)(6), and (m)(7),

(7) The requirements of section 94509(m)(1) shall not apply to “Penetrant”

products used on equipment when electrical current exists; residual electrical 

potential from a component exists; or an open flame exists, as long as the 

“Principal Display Panel” clearly displays the statement: “Nonflammable: 

For use on energized equipment only.”

(n) Requirements limiting the use of any chemical compound that has a Global 

Warming Potential (GWP) Value of 150 or greater. 

(1) Requirements for products listed in Table (n)(1)

Except as provided below in sections 94509(n)(2) and (n)(3), after the 

applicable effective date specified in Table 94509(n)(1), no person shall sell, 

supply, offer for sale, or manufacture for use in California any consumer 

product listed in Table 94509(n)(1) that contains any chemical compound 

that has a GWP Value of 150 or greater. 

[Note: Table 94509(n) is a new table. For clarity, the table and categories where 

the use of global warming compounds has previously been limited, along with the 

effective date and sell-through date, are not shown in an underline format. Only 

those categories where limitations on use of global warming compounds are 

being proposed in this rulemaking are shown in underline format along with their 

respective effective date and sell-through date. Staff’s suggested modifications 

to the originally proposed language are shown in double underline to indicate 

additions and double strikeout to indicate deletions.]

(2) Sell-through of Products. Consumer products listed in Table 94509(n)(1) that 

were manufactured before the specified effective date listed in Table 

94509(n)(1), may be sold, supplied, or offered for sale until the corresponding 

“sell-through” date listed in Table 94509(n)(1), so long as the product complies 

with the product dating requirements in section 94512(b). 

(3) Notification for products sold during the sell-through period. Any person who 

sells or supplies a consumer product listed in section 94509(n)(1) must notify the

this notification must be given only if both of the following conditions are met:

(A) the product is sold or supplied to a distributor or retailer; and

(B) the product is sold or supplied within 6 months of the specified effective date. 

(4) Impurities. The requirements of sections 94509(n)(1), (n)(2), and (n)(3) shall not 

apply to any consumer product listed in Table 94509(n)(1) containing any 

chemical compound that is present as an impurity in a combined amount equal to 

or less than 0.01% by weight.

Consumer Products Regulation

§ 94512. Administrative Requirements.

Modify title 17, CCR, § 94512(a) to read as follows: 

*****

(3) Rule that applies when Product Category definitions exclude each other.

When determining the applicable VOC limit standard for a product that meets the 

definitions for both “Regulated Category A” and “Regulated Category B”, in 

circumstances where the definition of “Regulated Category A” states that it 

excludes “Regulated Category B”, and the definition of “Regulated Category B”

states that it excludes “Regulated Category A,” the product is subject to the VOC 

limit standard for whichever regulated category, “A” or “B,” has the lower VOC 

limit standard. 

For the purposes of this section, a “Regulated Category” means a category of 

consumer products that is both: (A) defined in section 94508(a), and (B) has a 

VOC standard specified in section 94509(a) for that product category. 

(4) Notwithstanding the provisions of section 94512(a)(2) and (3), a product that 

makes ancillary disinfecting, sanitizing, or anti-microbial claims on the label is not 

subject to the VOC standards for “Disinfectant” or “Sanitizer” if the product is 

designed and labeled on the Principal Display Panel as a “Bathroom and Tile 

Cleaner,” “Carpet/Upholstery Cleaner,” “Fabric Refresher,” “General Purpose 

Cleaner,” “Glass Cleaner,” “Metal Polish or Cleanser,” or “Toilet/Urinal Care 

Product.”

(d) Additional Labeling Requirements for Aerosol Adhesive, Adhesive Remover, 

 Electronic Cleaner, Electrical Cleaner, Energized Electrical Cleaner, Contact

Adhesive, and Sealant or Caulking Compound (non-aerosol nonaerosol).

(1) In addition to the requirements specified in subsections (a), (b), and (c), both 

the manufacturer and responsible party for each aerosol adhesive, adhesive 

remover, electronic cleaner, electrical cleaner, energized electrical cleaner, 

contact adhesive product, and sealant or caulking compound (non-aerosol

nonaerosol) subject to this article shall ensure that all products clearly 

display the following information on each product container which is 

manufactured on or after the effective date for the category specified in 

section 94509(a), except that for non-chemically nonchemically curing 

sealant or caulking compound (non-aerosol nonaerosol), the effective date of 

this requirement is December 31, 2010, and for chemically curing sealant or 

caulking compound (non-aerosol nonaerosol), the effective date of this 

requirement is December 31, 2012:
Attachment A A - 37 2010 Proposed Amendments

(A) The product category as specified in section 94509(a) or an 

abbreviation of the category shall be displayed;

(B) 1. The applicable VOC standard for the product that is specified in 

section 94509(a), except for Energized Electrical Cleaner, 

expressed as a percentage by weight, shall be displayed unless 

the product is included in an alternative control plan approved by 

the Executive Officer, as provided in Article 4, Sections 94540-

94555, Title 17, California Code of Regulations, and the product 

exceeds the applicable VOC standard;

2. If the product is included in an alternative control plan approved 

by the Executive Officer, and the product exceeds the applicable 

VOC standard specified in section 94509(a), the product shall be 

labeled with the term “ACP” or “ACP product;”

§ 94515. Test Methods.

Modify title 17, CCR, § 94515(b) to read as follows: 

*****

(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 calulated

calculated according to the following equation:

 where, 

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

VOC Content = B - C x 100

 A
Attachment A A - 38 2010 Proposed Amendments

Consumer Products Regulation

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 this article.
