The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) granted the safe use determination (SUD) request for vinyl roofing containing DINP this week.
This request was granted based on OEHHA’s assessment that exposure to DINP from vinyl roofing is well below the proposed DINP safe harbor level. This is the first SUD issued by OEHHA in 12 years. Almost a year ago, the Chemical Fabrics and Film Association (CFFA) submitted the SUD request for specified vinyl roofing, which was granted in full.
This decision represents OEHHA’s best judgment that a Prop 65 cancer warning or reformulation is not required for the use of DINP in vinyl roofing. It represents a real breakthrough in using meaningful exposure analysis to determine the safe use of Prop 65 chemicals in California products.
OEHHA will issue final decisions by the end of the 2015 on the pending SUD requests for DINP in vinyl flooring, a vinyl carpet tile product, and a vinyl fabric product.
