certabr -- Certabr - Abrasive Blasting Certification Program List Update

Posted: 18 Nov 2014 09:07:43
On November 10, 2014, the Air Resources Board (ARB) issued
Executive Order (EO) G 14-083 for Abrasive Blasting
Certification. EO G-14-083 lists all of the abrasives currently
certified for permissible dry blasting outside of a permanent
building.  Several new abrasives have been certified. 
Certifications for abrasives listed on EO G-14-083 expire on
either August 31, 2015, or August 31, 2016.  EO G-14-083 may be
accessed on ARB's webpage:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/ba/certabr/eo/eo.htm.  ARB is still
certification testing abrasives and additional Executive Orders
will be issued as appropriate.  If an abrasive you are
considering for permissible dry blasting outside of a permanent
building does not appear on the list of currently certified
abrasives, please contact Kathryn Gugeler at 916-322-0221 or via
email at kathryn.gugeler@arb.ca.gov, and she will inform you of
the abrasive's current status.  

Thank you for your interest in this program.

Background:

The California Health and Safety Code authorizes ARB to adopt air
pollution performance standards for abrasive blasting operations.
 California Code of Regulations, title 17, sections 92000-92530
requires that all abrasive blasting is performed within a
permanent building with specified exceptions, provided the
abrasives meet specific performance standards both before and
after blasting.  Compliance with the performance standards
improves air quality by reducing the fine particulate matter
emitted to the atmosphere during permissible blasting outside a
permanent building.

Information regarding the Certified Abrasive Blasting Program,
including the exemptions for blasting outside a permanent
building and the applicable performance standards, is accessible
via ARB's Abrasive Blasting Program website at:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/ba/certabr/certabr.htm.
