PART 1305--BAN OF ARTIFICIAL EMBERIZING MATERIALS (ASH AND EMBERS)

Sec.  1305.3  Definitions.

    (a) The definitions in section 3 of the Consumer Product Safety Act 
(15 U.S.C. 2052) apply to this part 1305.
    (b) Asbestos means a group of mineral fibers composed of hydrated 
silicates, oxygen, hydrogen and other elements such as sodium, iron, 
magnesium and calcium in diverse combinations and are: Amosite, 
chrysotile, crocidolite, anthophyllite asbestos, actinolite asbestos, 
and tremolite asbestos.
    (c) Free-form asbestos is that which is not bound, woven, or 
otherwise ``locked-in'' to a product by resins or other bonding agents, 
or those from which fibers can readily become airborne with any 
reasonably foreseeable use.
    (d) Emberizing materials means an asbestos-containing material 
generally packed in an ``emberizing'' kit to be placed under artificial 
logs in gas-burning fireplace systems or in artificial fireplaces for 
decorative purposes. The product is also glued to artificial logs, 
either at a factory or by a consumer using an emberizing kit. (Synthetic 
logs manufactured of cellulostic products which are consumed by flames 
are not included in this definition. Electric artificial logs and 
artificial ash beds used in electric fireplaces, which do not contain 
respirable free-form asbestos are not included in this definition.)
