Consumer Products Reporting Tool (CPRT) for the 2023 Survey

Summary: At the webinar presentation on December 5, 2024, staff discussed how to use the CPRT and submit data to CARB. The updated CPRT contains “guard rails” to help guide Responsible Parties through reporting. To expedite the reporting process, CARB will not require Responsible Parties to contact Formulators. Instead, CARB staff will contact Formulators on behalf of the Responsible Parties to obtain any necessary formulation data via a customized version of the tool called the Consumer Products Reporting Tool for Formulators (CPRTF).

  • To guarantee that Formulators have enough time to submit Formulation Data, Responsible Parties must submit contact information to CARB through the 2023 Survey help box by January 14, 2025. This includes formulator name, contact name, and email address.
