1. SUPPLEMENTAL PROTOCOLS
1.1 California Applicable 1 Materials in all samples should be reviewed against the
proposition 65 methods cited in requirements of California Proposition 65, particularly for
the regulation lead, cadmium, phthalates, and flame retardants, to
and related case determine if additional testing or labelling is required. If
settlements testing is performed, results will be for information purposes
加州６５测试 only. PETCO will review results and decide how to proceed.
Note:
铅：涂层中铅小于９０ｐｐｍ，基材中的铅小于１００ｐｐｍ If there is no suitable PROP 65 settlement, it will follow the
requirements below to test and give Prop 65 conclusion.
Lead in surface coating: limit 90 ppm, apply to paints and
surface coatings;
Lead in substrate materials: limit 100 ppm, Materials on the
CPSIA exempt list will not be tested.
2. LABELING
2.1 Labelling / F.P. & L Act 1 Should be legibly marked with the following information:
packaging review 16 CFR 500 1. Manufacturer, packer, or distributor’s name &
(if applicable) / address (city, state & zip code).
NIST Uniform 2. Product identification
Laws and 3. Net quantity of the contents in terms of weight,
Regulations measure, volume or numerical count (metric & us
Handbook 130 standard) or a combination so as to give accurate
information and facilitate value comparison by the
consumer.
4. All samples must be reviewed against the
requirements of FPLA and UPLR.
2.2 Country of origin 19 CFR 134 / 16 1 Packaging (When packaging is present and country of origin
