California Proposition 65 is responsible for regulating chemicals that California knows may cause cancer or reproductive toxicity. At present, more than 700 chemicals have been listed as regulated chemicals.
According to the regulations, the chemical list is revised and reissued at least once a year.
Requirements of Document 65 for Glassware and Ceramics
Document No.65, 1986, promulgated the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Substances Enforcement Law, which requires that any commodity in California that will emit carcinogenic or toxic chemicals should be marked with a warning. The listed chemicals include lead and cadmium.
The court made a new trial judgment on a lawsuit filed in Document No.65 recently, and ruled that the defendant must re-make glassware and ceramics decorated with lead and cadmium. Products that meet the reproduction standards can be sold in California without the warning required by Document 65.
Products include:
6? 1 Glass and ceramic products used for food or beverage storage and holding.
6? 1 Glass and ceramic products for non-food or beverage (daily necessities)
External decoration refers to the color graphics, design and production of the external surface of the product. External decoration, including the design extending to the edge area, can only use materials that meet the reproduction standards of lead and cadmium. Children's products must meet a series of stricter breeding standards. In the wiping test (national institutes of health test method No.9 100), the decorative parts of all surfaces must only contain less than 4.0 micrograms of lead or 32.0 micrograms of cadmium.
For products that cannot meet the reproduction standards, warnings shall be marked according to the requirements of Document No.65..
Listed below are recognized guidelines for warning signs of glassware and ceramics.
