ART AND CRAFT MATERIALS THAT CANNOT BE PURCHASED FOR USE IN KINDERGARTEN THROUGH 6TH GRADE Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment – California Environmental Protection Agency September 2016 California Education Code Section 32064 prohibits schools from purchasing art or craft materials containing a toxic substance for use by students in kindergarten and grades 1-6 (K- 6). The law also requires the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) to develop a list of products that schools cannot purchase for use by students in K-6. This list (attached) is intended to assist schools, school districts, and governing authorities of private schools in complying with the purchasing requirements. Purchasers must ensure that all art and craft materials to be used by students bear a statement of conformity to ASTM D-4236 (Standard Practice for Labeling Art Materials for Chronic Health Hazards), as required by federal law. Items to be used by students in K-6 must not bear acute or chronic health hazard labels. Although not required by law, avoiding art materials that bear acute or chronic health hazard labels when purchasing for grades 7-12 is a good precautionary measure. Schools are encouraged to inventory existing art and craft supplies and remove materials bearing health hazard labels from K-6th grade classrooms. For further information, please see Art and Craft Materials in Schools: Guidelines for Purchasing and Safe Use, accompanying this list or available online (see below). OEHHA compiled the attached list based on product evaluations conducted by other entities1 according to federal requirements. Other art and craft materials that can be listed are products recalled in the past five years2 (no such products are listed at this time), as well as those brought to OEHHA’s attention as bearing health hazard labels. Purchasers should check products for health hazard labels before purchasing, as some products that contain a toxic substance may not be listed here.
