Any company that manufactured, distributed or sold consumer products, including personal, household or industrial product in California must file information on their product ingredients and unit sales for 2013, 2014 and 2015.
As the “clean air agency” of California, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) regulates emissions and gathers air quality data throughout the state. Through this mandatory report, CARB staff members are gathering data related to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and non-VOC emissions for a broad range of consumer and commercial products sold or supplied for use in California during the 2013-2015 calendar years.
Reported products include a wide range of consumer product categories* such as:
- Household and Institutional Products (cleaners, polishers and laundry products)
- Personal Care Products (deodorants, body washes, hair dyes, fragrances and many more)
- Adhesives/Sealants (glues, laminates and caulk)
* this is not required for some paint products, furniture coatings, or architectural coatings.
