Executive Orders list abrasives that are certified by CARB for permissible dry blasting done outside of a permanent buildingin accordance with California Code of Regulations, title 17, section 92530.  New Executive Orders are issued as appropriate.

Below is a list of Executive Orders issued certifying abrasives for permissible dry blasting done outside of a permanent buildingin accordance with California Code of Regulations, title 17, section 92530.  Although these Executive Orders were superseded by more recent Executive Orders, the abrasives listed on them may be used until gone.  An abrasive that is sold by its manufacturer or vendor during the period the abrasive is certified is certified for use until the abrasive is gone. The regulations do not require that the abrasive be used only during the period it is certified.  Advisory #164 addresses this issue.

If you have any questions regarding an abrasive that was certified prior to 2007, please contact Program Staff.
