Subject | 10% VOC Standards |
Comment | Dear Sir, or Madam, Consumers rely on effective automotive maintenance to improve automotive safety, extend vehicle and part life spans, minimize automotive air emissions, and lower energy use. We are concerned that the ARB’s proposed 10% VOC standards for Brake Cleaners, Carburetor or Fuel-Injection Air Intake Cleaners, Engine Degreasers, and General Purpose Degreasers could damage the ability of a consumer from being able to reap the benefits of effective vehicle maintenance. We are also are concerned that these new standards could have negative cost impacts to consumers due to the additional time required for automotive maintenance to compensate for less effective cleaners. Further, we are concerned that the ARB has not fully considered the impact of these standards and has not conducted significant long-term testing to ensure that the resulting products will not endanger vehicle safety or consumer preferences. Therefore, we are asking the ARB to reconsider its 10% VOC standards and compromise in order to protect California consumers from the negative consequences of less effective and more costly automotive maintenance. Thank you, |
