Prop 65 compliance testing:-
Prop 65 is carried out at Compliance XL by risk assessing products, then offering testing for selected chemicals that may be applicable. The chemicals selected for testing under Prop 65 would be representative of those that are commonly regulated across global legislation and that could be present in the materials/products submitted for analysis.
It is important to note that the chemicals listed under Prop 65 (unless subject to a settlement arrangement) do not have defined limits or test methods and as such best available techniques and EU REACH restriction limits will be used to assess risk. Prop 65 testing reports from Compliance XL will therefore not state compliance against Proposition 65 but they will provide your organisation with a clear risk assessment.
prop 65 certificate of compliance :-
Businesses are required to provide a “clear and reasonable” warning before knowingly and intentionally exposing anyone to a listed chemical, unless the business can show that the anticipated exposure level will not pose a significant risk of cancer or is significantly below levels observed to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.
This warning can be given in several ways, such as by labeling a consumer product, posting signs at the workplace, distributing notices at a rental housing complex, or publishing notices in a newspaper. The requirement to provide warnings takes effect one year after a chemical is added to the list.
Proposition 65 also prohibits companies that do business within California from knowingly discharging listed chemicals into sources of drinking water. Once a chemical is listed, businesses have 20 months to comply with the discharge prohibition.
Businesses with less than 10 employees and government agencies are exempt from Proposition 65’s warning requirements and prohibition on discharges into drinking water sources.
Businesses are also exempt from the warning requirement and discharge prohibition if the exposures they cause are so low as to create no significant risk of cancer or are significantly below levels observed to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Using its knowledge of its business operations and the chemicals it uses, a business can review the Proposition 65 list to determine whether its operations or products are likely to expose people in California to any listed chemicals. Depending on the level of exposure, the business may be required to provide a warning for those exposures. A business that determines it is causing exposures to a listed chemical may be able to use OEHHA’s safe harbor numbers to determine if it needs to provide a warning.
