Product Requirement
Unless otherwise directed by the client, the result of this test is reported for reference only; the
result is not rated.
Only the parties listed in the settlement must comply; parties not listed in this settlement must
comply with the labeling requirements of California Proposition 65 as the settlements are not
mandatory for non-parties and will not protect against liability.
NOTE: If the client has asked for testing to California Proposition 65, please refer to Generic
protocol #4911 or the client-specific California Proposition 65 protocol. These protocols have a list
of settlements known to UL.
Unless excepted, every article of foreign origin (or its container) imported into the United States
shall be marked in a conspicuous place as legibly, indelibly, and permanently as the nature of the
article (or container) will permit, in such manner as to indicate to an ultimate purchaser in the
United States the English name of the country of origin of the article, at the time of importation into
the Customs territory of the United States.
Containers of articles excepted from marking shall be marked with the name of the country of
origin of the article unless the container is also excepted from marking.
Warranties are not required. However, if a warranty is included with the product, the warranty must
be in writing and must contain all of the information prescribed by the Act.

published, and publicly available resource, including but not limited to a printed directory,
electronic database, or Web site. (Effective Dec. 17, 2015.) 3) Net quantity of the contents in terms
of weight, measure, or numerical count. No exaggerative words are allowed in relation to
describing the unit of weight or mass, measure or count (i.e., "giant quart," "jumbo liter," "full
gallon," "when packed," "minimum," etc.). 4) Statements of weight or mass (if shown on label)
shall be in terms of both avoirdupois pound and ounce and SI metric kilograms, grams, or
milligrams.
If bag thickness is 1 mil or greater, report as PASS.
If bag thickness is <1 mil, in order to establish compliance (pass/fail), the bag's dimensions need to
be considered in conjunction with the labeling specifications of the individual jurisdictions as
follows:
CALIFORNIA - You must label if: 1) Thickness is an average less than one mil, and 2) Size of
opening is larger than 25 square inches or a capacity of more than 125 cubic inches.
CHICAGO, IL - requirement is for polyethylene bag, other than one used for food products
weighing not more than five pounds, intended for household. MASSACHUSETTS & NEW YORK
- You must label if: 1) Thickness is less than one mil, and 2) Size of opening has a diameter of
seven inches or more, and 3) Length and width when added together totals 25 inches or more.
RHODE ISLAND - You must label if: 1) Thickness is less than one mil, and 2) Size of opening is
larger than five inches in diameter. VIRGINIA - You must label dry cleaning bags if: 1) Thickness
is less than one mil, and 2) Length totals twenty-five inches or more. CALIFORNIA & RHODE
ISLAND - Total length and width of: <30 inches = 10 point type minimum = or > 30 inches and <
40 inches = 14 point type minimum = or > 40 inches and < 60 inches = 18 point type minimum = or
> 60 inches = 24 point type minimum. MASSACHUSETTS - Total length and width of: = or > 25
inches and < 40 inches = 14 point type minimum = or > 40 inches and < 60 inches = 18 point type
minimum = or > 60 inches = 24 point type minimum. Label shall appear on both sides of bag. If
total length and total width is more than 40 inches (when added), label shall be repeated at 20 inch
intervals. NEW YORK - Total length and width of: = or > 25 inches and < 30 inches = 10 point
type minimum = or > 30 inches and < 40 inches = 14 point type minimum = or > 40 inches and <
60 inches = 18 point type minimum = or > 60 inches = 24 point type minimum. VIRGINIA - 36
point type minimum. Plastic bags in California, Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island, and
Virginia require the following warning: "WARNING: To avoid danger of suffocation, keep this
plastic bag away from babies and children. Do not use this bag in cribs, beds, carriages or play
pens. This bag is not a toy."
If the warning is required based on thickness and opening size, but not present, then the test shall be
