SECTION 25258-25258.2

25258. (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."

25258.1. This article does not limit, supersede, duplicate, or
otherwise conflict with the authority of the department to fully
implement Article 14 (commencing with Section 25251), including the
authority of the department to include products in a product registry
established pursuant to the regulations adopted in accordance with
that article or any testing or labeling requirements pursuant to that
article. Notwithstanding subdivision (c) of Section 25257.1, glass
beads shall not be considered as a product category already regulated
or subject to pending regulation for purposes of Article 14
(commencing with Section 25251).

25258.2. This article shall remain in effect only until January 1,
2015, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted
statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2015, deletes or extends
that date.
