California Proposition 65, also known as CA65, CP65 or PROP 65, or the Enforcement of Drinking Water Safety and Toxic Substances Act of 1986, was issued in November 1986. Its purpose is to protect California residents and the state's drinking water sources, make the water sources free of substances known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive and developmental hazards, and truthfully notify residents when such substances appear. California Proposition 65 regulates chemicals known to California to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity. More than 1000 chemicals have been listed as such and are under supervision. This regulation mainly prohibits: a. Excessive use of toxic chemicals in consumer products without warning b. Discharge of listed substances to drinking water sources In order to quantify the dosage of chemicals allowed to be used in different products, California Proposition 65 established a mechanism called "safe harbor level", which sets the maximum exposure limit of listed substances and covers all consumer products. Unlike other regulations, regulated chemicals have different limits in different consumer products, which are generally based on post court laws. Warning label requirements California Proposition 65 has established a warning label system to inform consumers that certain consumer products contain or may contain carcinogens or toxins that damage the human reproductive system. Importers and manufacturers must affix California Proposition 65 warning labels when: a. (Possible) Products containing listed chemical substances greater than safe harbor level b. Products containing chemicals listed in California Proposition 65 that do not specify safe harbor level (unless the enterprise can prove that chemical exposure will not cause potential risk of cancer or reproductive harm to users) It is the responsibility of the manufacturer or importer of the product to determine the level of exposure to chemicals contained in the product. California Proposition 65 proposes that this process should be completed through scientific, strict and quantitative evaluation If you want to know more, you can contact our professional team
