"Californians" ? _______________________________________________________________________________
Ralph McDiarmid | Schneider Electric | Solar Business | CANADA | Regulatory Compliance Engineering From: Ed Price <edpr...@cox.net> To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG, Date: 07/11/2013 12:13 PM Subject: Re: [PSES] California Prop 65 "Proposition 65 requires businesses to notify Californians about significant amounts of chemicals in the products they purchase, in their homes or workplaces, or that are released into the environment. By providing this information, Proposition 65 enables Californians to make informed decisions about protecting themselves from exposure to these chemicals." This is why we are flooded with silly signs which warn about "known carcinogens" in this building, in this location, associated with this product, etc" Every gas station, paint store, home improvement center, auto parts store, garden center, machine shop, welding shop have these signs. The signs adorn construction sites and landfills, and are so prevalent that they fade into the background noise and have become meaningless. About the only time you notice it is when you go somewhere and you happen to notice that they DON'T have a sign. The natural assumption then is that the company has a strict compliance officer, and he couldn't find a non-toxic source for his sign order. California is, in many ways, a very advanced nanny state. BTW (and I couldn't find this before I tired of searching), I will bet that every California State entity is exempt from compliance with this regulation. Seriously, look at the list of 800 or so things on the California list. Then parse the meaning of "significant amount" when you can detect parts per billion of everything; you will find the exercise quite disheartening. OTOH, just put up the signs or warning stickers, and almost nobody will notice them.
