26 October, 2018, the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) released a notice to add Nickel (soluble compounds) to the list of Prop 65, with immediate effect. 11 October 2018, the Developmental and Reproductive Toxicant Identification Committee (DARTIC) determined that soluble nickel compounds can cause reproductive toxicity based on the developmental and male reproductive endpoints.
Soluble nickel compounds are listed in Prop 65 as follows:
Chemical | CAS No. | Toxicological Endpoints | Listing Mechanism* | Effective Date |
Nickel (soluble compounds) | --- | Male Reproductive Toxicity Developmental Toxicity | SQE | October 26, 2018 |
* Listing mechanism: SQE – “State’s Qualified Expert” mechanism (Health and Safety Code section 25249.8(b) and Title 27, Cal. Code of Regs., section 25305(b)(1)).
The California law requires manufacturers and retailers to warn workers and consumers exposed to chemicals on the list.
C&K Testing reminds enterprises to pay attention to the updating of the Prop 65 list, and strengthen the cooperation with professional testing agencies to prevent the subsequent risk.
