CONSUMER PRODUCTS REGULATIONS

There are five existing consumer product regulations in California. The first regulation (Article 1) covers only one category called antiperspirants and deodorants. The second regulation (Article 2) covers consumer product categories and is simply called the "general consumer products regulation." The third regulation (Article 3) covers 36 categories of aerosol paints and coatings. For compliance flexibility, the fourth regulation (Article 4) is a voluntary emissions trading program for consumer products, and aerosol paints and coatings, called the Alternative Control Plan (ACP) regulation. The fifth regulation (Article 5) is a voluntary program that provides an incentive for early or over compliance, called the Hairspray Credit Program Regulation.
