Abstract
On November 10, 1993, EPA published a TSCA section 4 final test rule requiring testing of 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene (TMB) (CAS No. 108-67-8). After EPA published the final rule, certain manufacturers questioned the scope of the manufacturers, importers, and processors subject to the test rule. EPA is now clarifying that only manufacturers, importers, and processors of TMB as an isolated product, and not persons who manufacture, import, or process the substance as part of complex mixtures or substances, are subject to the final test rule requiring certain health effects testing.
