Evaluating Compliance: USA California Labeling Law SB343

Welcome to the California SB343 assessment guide within the APR Design® Assessment Tool! This video demonstrates how to evaluate your packaging against California's SB343 environmental labeling requirements using the dedicated legislative rule set.

What You'll Learn in This Video

  • Navigating the SB343 Rule Set: Learn how to select and initiate the USA California Labeling Law SB343 rule set from the right-hand sidebar menu.
  • Evaluating Scope & CRV Exemption: Determine whether your packaging falls under the California Redemption Value (CRV) program, which exempts covered beverage containers from SB343 labeling requirements.
  • Leveraging Auto-Populated Data: See how data from the Composition and APR Design Guide sections automatically populates SB343's Pre-categorisation, Access + Sortation (Criteria 1 & 2), and Design (Criteria 3) sections.
  • Completing Safety Criteria: Answer chemical compliance requirements (Criteria 4) regarding PFAS thresholds (< 100 ppm) and regulated heavy metals, with direct hyperlinked references to California law.
  • Interpreting Pass/Fail Results: Review how the system aggregates all five sections to generate a clear Pass or Fail determination for California labeling compliance.

Pro-Tip: Because SB343 Criteria 3 directly incorporates APR Design® Guide standards, completing your APR assessment first automatically satisfies Criteria 3 for SB343, saving you time on duplicate entries!
