What Is Right To Know?

California’s Cleaning Product Right to Know Act of 2017 (SB 258) was enacted with the intent of providing consumers and workers with ingredient information about certain products that…

What Is Required?

If a product meets the definition of a designated product under SB 258, manufacturers/distributors are required to search each ingredient against over 20 “designated lists” to determine if there are any potential hazards to human health or the environment. Specific label elements and online disclosure requirements are prescribed, depending on the list status and function of each ingredient.

Manufacturers/ suppliers of cleaning products for sale in California must comply with this regulation or will face fines of up to $2500 per violation.

This regulation DOES NOT apply if the product is not being sold in California.

Nexreg can help determine if California’s Right to Know Act applies to your product and provide you with a memo outlining what information is required to appear on your label and website.

Our Procedure

  • Required Product Information

    Nexreg acquires the formulation and intended use of the product, the function of each ingredient (if available), and any Raw Material SDSs for components of mixtures (if applicable). A copy of the current label can help to determine if the product is subject to the requirements of the law.

  • Chemical Report

    Nexreg inputs the complete formula into our proprietary software and checks the formulation against the designated lists. A report is generated indicating which chemicals must be listed in the online and on-label disclosure.

  • Label Memo

    With this information, a California Right to Know memo is created which outlines the optional and mandatory label and online chemical disclosure requirements. Additional information provided in the report includes details about the website requirements, the identities of each list that the ingredients are flagged on, as well as the URL for each designated list.  The documents are reviewed by a senior consultant to ensure compliance before the final document is issued to the client.
