Recipients:

The California Air Resources Board (ARB) voted unanimously September 27th to

impose a 0.050 ppm ozone emission concentration limit for air cleaners sold

in

California. The regulation should become final in about April 2008.

Manufacturers

will have 24 months to have their air cleaners tested by a Nationally

Recognized

Testing Laboratory and then certified by the ARB. So, 24 months from the

effective

date, there cannot be any non-compliant air cleaners sold in California.

There are

a few exemptions (such as for in-duct air cleaners).

The ARB plans to update their regulation webpage by October 6th (for details

see

http://www.arb.ca.gov/research/indoor/aircleaners/aircleaners.htm).

Thank you,
