25250.56
. (a) In developing new formulations to comply with
Sections 25250.52 and 25250.53, a manufacturer of vehicle brake
friction materials shall screen potential alternatives to the use of
copper by using the Toxics Information Clearinghouse developed by the
department and the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment
pursuant to Section 25256, for the purpose of identifying potential
impacts of these potential alternatives on public health and the
environment.
(b) In conducting the screening analysis required by subdivision
(a), a manufacturer of vehicle brake friction materials shall, using
information available to the manufacturer at the time of the
analysis, including information from the department and other
sources, consider the environmental fate of brake friction materials
and their emissions through all phases of the brake friction material
life cycle.
(c) A manufacturer of vehicle brake friction materials shall use
the screening analysis required by subdivision (a) or an open source
alternatives assessment to select alternatives to copper that pose
less of a potential hazard to public health and the environment.
(d) Upon request by the department, a manufacturer of vehicle
brake friction materials or importer of record shall provide a
summary demonstrating how the screening analysis conducted pursuant
to this section or an open source alternatives assessment is used to
inform the selection of alternatives to copper that pose less of a
potential hazard to public health and the environment, as required by
subdivision (c).
