Our plans have been finalized, and this email plus the information at the website indicated below provides important information. Most importantly, the first compliance date of October 18, 2009 will remain in effect; by this date, manufacturers must notify the distributors, retailers, and sellers of their air cleaners about the regulation and submit documentation of that notification, along with contact information, to ARB. Instructions for providing the documentation to ARB and an updated sample letter which manufacturers may use for the notification are provided on our website at http://www.arb.ca.gov/research/indoor/aircleaners/aircleaners.htm . Subsequent to the June 12 workshop, a second laboratory, Intertek Testing Services, was approved to conduct the ozone emissions test for air cleaners. Additionally, Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL) issued two Certification Requirement Decisions (CRDs) that clarified portions of the ozone emission test protocol, which have the net effect of shortening the time required to test some models (and a third CRD is expected to be issued in a few weeks). These actions plus our assessment of the number of air cleaners that need to be tested for ozone led us to conclude that an extension to the original compliance date of October 18, 2010 for testing and certification is not needed. Consequently, we do not intend to extend that compliance date. However, in response to manufacturers’ concerns regarding labeling, ARB staff plan to propose an extension of the deadline for package labeling for one year, to October 18, 2011, and to allow the use of adhesive labels (rather than printing on the package) until October 1, 2012. Several additional amendments have also been identified by ARB staff as necessary to improve implementation of the regulation. These amendments would (1) allow “mechanical filtration only” air cleaners to be tested for electrical safety at additional facilities; (2) incorporate into the regulation the three CRDs to the ozone test protocol issued by UL; and (3) refine the definition of “mechanical filtration only” to reference all pollutants (not just particles) and be fully consistent with the rest of the regulation. Staff will be presenting a brief update on the implementation of the regulation to the Board at its October 22, 2009 hearing in Sacramento. Staff also will request that the Board delegate to the Executive Officer authority to hear comments and approve amendments to the regulation. If that authority is granted, we anticipate release of a staff report (Initial Statement of Reasons) and the recommended amendments in November, 2009 for a 45-day public review period, with a possible hearing and decision early in 2010. More information will be available in the public notice for the October Board hearing, which is anticipated to be released on September 22, 2009. For further information about the regulation, please contact Jim Behrmann at 916-322-8278 or jbehrman@arb.ca.gov, or Peggy Jenkins at 916-323-1504 or mjenkins@arb.ca.gov.

Air cleaners would still have to be tested and certified by October 18, 2010, but, as requested by manufacturers, the package labeling requirements would not have to be met for an additional year, and adhesive labels (rather than printing on the package) would be allowed for two years. Other amendments would: (1) allow “mechanical filtration only” air cleaners to be tested for electrical safety at additional facilities; (2) incorporate into the regulation three clarifications to the ozone test protocol issued by UL; (3) allow devices that include an air cleaner component but whose main purpose is something other than air cleaning to be tested for electrical safety under their applicable ANSI/UL electrical safety test; and 4) refine the definition of “mechanical filtration only” to reference all pollutants (not just particles) to be fully consistent with the rest of the regulation. Together these latter amendments would shorten the time needed for the ozone test, and correct some oversights regarding electrical safety testing in the original regulation. The Board will consider the proposed amendments to the Air Cleaner Regulation on December 9, 2009 at their regular monthly meeting in Sacramento. The Public Notice and the associated formal regulatory materials (staff report and proposed language changes) provide more information on the proposed amendments. They can be accessed from our website at the following address: http://www.arb.ca.gov/regact/2009/iacd09/iacd09.htm. The Board encourages those with comments to contact staff to discuss their comments in advance of the Board meeting. Written comments are due to the Clerk of the Board by noon, December 8, 2009; please see the Public Notice for details on how to submit written comments. Inquiries concerning the proposed amendments may be directed to Ms. Peggy Jenkins, Manager of the Indoor Exposure Assessment Section, at (916) 323-1504 or Mr. Jim Behrmann, at (916) 322-8278.

Air cleaners would still have to be tested and certified by October 18, 2010, but, as requested by manufacturers, the package labeling requirements would not have to be met for an additional year, and adhesive labels (rather than printing on the package) would be allowed for two years. Other amendments would: (1) allow “mechanical filtration only” air cleaners to be tested for electrical safety at additional facilities; (2) incorporate into the regulation three clarifications to the ozone test protocol issued by UL; (3) allow devices that include an air cleaner component but whose main purpose is something other than air cleaning to be tested for electrical safety under their applicable ANSI/UL electrical safety test; and 4) refine the definition of “mechanical filtration only” to reference all pollutants (not just particles) to be fully consistent with the rest of the regulation. Together these latter amendments would shorten the time needed for the ozone test, and correct some oversights regarding electrical safety testing in the original regulation. The Board will consider the proposed amendments to the Air Cleaner Regulation on December 9, 2009 at their regular monthly meeting in Sacramento. The Public Notice and the associated formal regulatory materials (staff report and proposed language changes) provide more information on the proposed amendments. They can be accessed from our website at the following address: http://www.arb.ca.gov/regact/2009/iacd09/iacd09.htm. The Board encourages those with comments to contact staff to discuss their comments in advance of the Board meeting. Written comments are due to the Clerk of the Board by noon, December 8, 2009; please see the Public Notice for details on how to submit written comments. Inquiries concerning the proposed amendments may be directed to Ms. Peggy Jenkins, Manager of the Indoor Exposure Assessment Section, at (916) 323-1504 or Mr. Jim Behrmann, at (916) 322-8278.

ARB and the California Energy Commission sponsored the study, which was conducted by a team led by Indoor Environmental Engineering. The team found that new, single-family detached homes in California were built relatively airtight, and had very low outdoor air exchange rates. In addition, indoor concentrations of formaldehyde often exceeded health-based exposure guidelines for air contaminants indoors, due to the many indoor sources of formaldehyde. Indoor concentrations of a few other chemicals such as benzene, naphthalene, and 1,4-dichlorobenzene also exceeded exposure guidelines in some cases. ARB has adopted limits on formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products, which will help reduce indoor formaldehyde levels in new homes. Reduction of formaldehyde emissions from other indoor sources also is needed. In part due to the results of this study, the Commission approved a regulation requiring mechanical ventilation systems in all new homes starting in 2010; such systems provide a continuous supply of outdoor air, thus improving the outdoor air exchange rate and reducing indoor contaminant levels.

Air cleaners will still have to be tested and certified by October 18, 2010; however, the package labeling requirements will not have to be met for an additional year, and adhesive labels (rather than printing on the package) will be allowed for two years. Other amendments will: (1) allow air cleaners to be tested for electrical safety at additional testing facilities; (2) incorporate into the regulation three clarifications to the ozone test protocol issued by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc, (UL); (3) allow devices that include an air cleaner component but whose main purpose is something other than air cleaning to be tested for electrical safety under the applicable ANSI/UL electrical safety test; and 4) refine the definition of “mechanical filtration only” to reference all pollutants (not just particles) to be fully consistent with the rest of the regulation. Additional details regarding these amendments are available in the Public Notice and the associated formal regulatory materials (staff report and proposed language changes) that can be accessed from our website at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/regact/2009/iacd09/iacd09.htm. Please note that the final regulatory approval process will take several months; these amendments are expected to become effective in Spring 2010. Also, the third 2009 Certification Requirement Decision (CRD) issued by UL on the ANSI/UL Standard 867 ozone emission test method used in ARB’s air cleaner regulation is now posted at http://www.arb.ca.gov/research/indoor/aircleaners/aircleaners.htm. The new CRD clarifies the tests needed for models marketed with multiple filter options. This CRD will also be posted on ARB's official regulation website (http://www.arb.ca.gov/regact/2009/iacd09/iacd09.htm) in January 2010 for a 15-day public comment period. A listserve notice will be sent out when that comment period begins. Inquiries concerning the amendments or the regulation may be directed to Ms. Peggy Jenkins, Manager of the Indoor Exposure Assessment Section, at (916) 323-1504 or mjenkins@arb.ca.gov, or Mr. Jim Behrmann, at (916) 322-8278 or jbehrman@arb.ca.gov.
