The Prop 65 compliance procedures are quite complicated. Prop 65 itself sets no limits for hazardous substances but only safe harbour levels. While substantial data are required from businesses to apply such safe harbour levels. Currently, Prop 65 regulates hazardous substances in products as per limits and test methods provided in the existing lawsuits or settlement agreements for the same product category.
