COCIR released in February a study on the over 900 substances listed in the California Proposition 65.

On August 30, 2016, California approved the adoption of amendments to Article 6 “Clear and Reasonable Warnings” of the California Code of Regulations. The new regulations provide, among other things, methods of transmission and content of warnings deemed to be compliant with Proposition 65. The regulation will be operative on August 30, 2018.? In the interim, companies may comply with the regulation in effect on August 30, 2016, or the provisions of the new regulation.

COCIR commissioned a study to EDIFERA to provide COCIR Members with an easy to use tool to easily identify which substances out of more than 900 are relevant for medical devices and for which (and under which conditions) a notification is required.
