Regulatory Issues continued from p.8 Other changes worth noting: • Change to General Purpose Degreaser definition. • Definitions added for Specialty Purpose Cleaners and Special Purpose Degreaser. • Proposal for HFO-1234ze to be added as a VOC exempt compound. • Changes to Hair Finishing Spray and Hair Styling Spray definitions. • 10% VOC limit for Multi-purpose Lubricant proposed delay from 12/31/2015 to 12/31/2018. I encourage everyone to review the Consumer Product Regulation and the Aerosol Coating regulation to ensure that none of the changes have an adverse effect on your products. The proposed changes can be found at http://www.arb.ca.gov/consprod/ regact/2013/2013ra.htm. Lastly, CARB has delayed this rule adoption until September 26–27, 2013. This means that the official proposal will not be released until July 2013 for a 45-day comment period.
