PART 1404--CELLULOSE INSULATION--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 1404.1  Scope, application, and effective date.

    (a) Scope. This part 1404 establishes a requirement for 
manufacturers, including importers, of cellulose insulation to notify 
(1) prospective purchasers of such products at the time of original 
purchase and (2) the first purchasers of such products for purposes 
other than resale (installers and consumers) of ways to avoid the fire 
hazard that exists where cellulose insulation is installed too close to 
the sides or over the top of a recessed electrical light fixture or 
where cellulose insulation is installed too close to the exhaust flues 
from heat-producing devices or apparatus such as furnaces, water 
heaters, and space heaters. The notification consists of a warning label 
on the containers of cellulose insulation.
    (b) Application and effective date. This rule applies to cellulose 
insulation that is for sale to consumers for installation in households 
or residences, as well as insulation that is produced or distributed for 
installation by professionals in households or residences. Cellulose 
insulation that is labeled as, marketed, and sold solely for 
nonresidential installation is not included within the scope of this 
proceeding. The rule applies to all products manufactured after October 
15, 1979.
