arbcombo -- The Amendments to the California Indoor Air Cleaner Regulation
Posted: 22 Sep 2010 15:02:19
All of the amendments to the California indoor air cleaner regulation that were approved by the California Air Resources Board in December 2009 received final State approval on September 9, 2010. The amendments will become effective on October 9, 2010. The approved amendments: 1) extend the deadline for package labeling of certified air cleaners to October 18, 2011; 2) allow adhesive labels to be used in place of printing on the package until October 1, 2012; 3) allow electrical safety testing to be conducted at additional test facilities; 4) allow multi-function devices that include an air cleaner component to meet the electrical safety standard for their primary function instead of the electrical safety requirements of UL Standards 507 or 867 (however, electronic air cleaners must still meet the ozone emission limits in Section 37 of UL Standard 867); and other minor amendments. Further information on the amendments and on the regulation requirements is available at http://www.arb.ca.gov/research/indoor/aircleaners/manufacturers.htm. Manufacturers of air cleaners for which certification has been pending based on the amendments will soon receive letters confirming approval of those air cleaners. Air cleaner manufacturers who have not yet complied with the notification, testing and certification requirements of the air cleaner regulation should review the contents of the webpage above carefully (especially the updated Frequently Asked Questions) and contact ARB staff with any questions (see contacts below). All air cleaners manufactured, distributed, offered for sale, or entered into commerce in California must be tested and certified by ARB by October 18, 2010. All manufacturers of such air cleaners are also required to notify their distributors, retailers and sellers about the regulation; the first compliance date for this requirement was October 18, 2009. For information regarding the amendments to the regulation, please contact Peggy Jenkins, manager of the Indoor Exposure Assessment Section, at mjenkins@arb.ca.gov, or by phone at (916) 323-1504.
