California's Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) has announced, the Safer Consumer Products Regulations were approved by the Office of Administrative Law (OAL) on 28 August 2013.
The Regulations specify the process for identifying and prioritizing Priority Products and their Chemicals of Concern, and identifying and analyzing alternatives to determine how best to eliminate or reduce potential exposures to, or the level of potential adverse impacts posed by, the Chemical(s) of Concern in Priority Products.
The Regulations will take effect on 1 October 2013.
In a statement, DTSC stated that the next steps would be publication of an informational list of Candidate Chemicals, preparing guidance for conducting Alternatives Analyses and, by 1 April 2014, a list of proposed Priority Products.
