Proposition 65 (CA65), officially known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, came into effect in November 1986.
Under Proposition 65, the California government updates its list of harmful substances at least annually, with nearly 1,000 chemicals currently included. Complying with Proposition 65 requirements helps businesses avoid potential lawsuits and penalties when products enter the U.S. market, while also facilitating market access and competitiveness in the American marketplace.
