(a) A person shall not manufacture, sell, offer for sale, or offer for promotional purposes in this state glass beads that contain 75 parts per million (ppm) or more of arsenic or 100 ppm or more of lead by weight, if those glass beads will be used with pressure, suction, or wet- or dry-type blasting equipment.
(b) (1) The weight percentage of arsenic and lead shall be determined in accordance with EPA Method 3052, which may be modified, and with EPA Method 6010C, as those methods were in effect on January 1, 2010, or with a generally accepted instrumental method with traceable standards, including X-ray fluorescence.
(2) For purposes of paragraph (1), “modified” means the use of slower heating conditions of the hydrofluoric acid and the possible use of a pressure vessel.
(c) Each container or bag of glass beads sold in this state for surface preparation, including the cleaning, peening, finishing, and deburring of aluminum and stainless steel products, and that will be used with pressure, suction, or wet- or dry-type blasting equipment, shall be labeled with the following:
“Glass bead contents contain less than 75 ppm arsenic and less than 100 ppm lead pursuant to the California Health and Safety Code Section 25258.”
