ASC Questions Environment Canada’s Proposed Use of California VOC-Reduction Rule
BETHESDA, MD – The Adhesive and Sealant Council (ASC) has submitted comments to Environment Canada (EC) raising questions with a proposed approach that would set VOC limits for a range of consumer products based on the California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) rules.
In January, EC published a Consultation Document that is expected to lead to a proposed rule in 2014 establishing VOC limits for consumer products, including several adhesive and sealant categories, throughout Canada. A rule is expected to be finalized in 2016.
