ASC Regulatory Affairs to Focus on California in 2015
BETHESDA, MD – Regulatory actions in California, such as a revision to the Prop 65 labeling requirements and a possible alternative assessment evaluation of construction adhesive or sealant product under the state’s new Safer Consumer Product program, are expected to dominate the attention of the Adhesive and Sealant Council (ASC) in 2015.
While the California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEEHA) has not issued a proposed rule, the agency has informally suggested changes to the existing Prop 65 label that, according to the ASC, would add extraneous and inflammatory language to the existing warning label as well as an OEEHA-designed pictogram to indicate the product may pose a health hazard.
