Recorded Wednesday, October 3rd, – Presented by The American Chemistry Council
In December 2013, the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) added diisononyl phthalate (DINP) to California’s Proposition 65 list as “known to the State to cause cancer” despite the weight of scientific evidence indicating that DINP should not be listed on Prop 65.
Currently, there are almost 900 substances on the Prop 65 list, including food ingredients and common household products, naturally occurring substances, ethyl alcohol in alcoholic beverages, aspirin and many prescription drugs. Prop 65 requires anyone doing business in California to label a product but only if human exposure to a listed substance in the product is expected to be at a level above the established “safe harbor” level for that substance.
To support the DINP value chain, ACC’s High Phthalates Panel revised the tool it developed in 2014 that allows manufacturers or sellers of consumer products containing DINP to estimate oral, dermal and/or inhalation exposures to DINP and to determine whether these exposures would exceed a safe harbor level for DINP, as defined in the OEHHA regulations. The revised workbook incorporates an additional exposure route – dust.
This webinar:
- Provided an overview of Prop 65
- Provided brief background on how DINP was listed
- Outlined an example of how to estimate potential exposures using the revised DINP-specific workbook developed by ACC’s High Phthalates Panel
- Addressed any questions webinar participants may have on this topic

I would like to learn how Prop 65 impact the wire and cable industry.
