(a) A manufacturer who uses the following code to indicate the date of manufacture shall not be subject to the requirements of R307-357-10(3) if the code is represented separately from other codes on the product container so that it is easily recognizable:

YY DDD = year year day day day where:

"DDD" = three digits representing the day of the year on which the product was manufactured, with "001" representing the first day of the year, "002" representing the second day of the year, and so forth (i.e. the "Julian date").

(b) The date information shall be located on the container or inside the cover or cap so that it is readily observable or obtainable by simply removing the cap or cover without disassembling any part of the container or packaging.
(c) The date information shall be displayed on each consumer product container or package no later than twelve months prior to the effective date of the applicable standard specified in Table 1.
(d) No person shall erase, alter, deface or otherwise remove or make illegible any date from any regulated product container without the express authorization of the manufacturer.
(2) The requirements of this provision shall not apply to products containing no VOCs or to products containing VOCs at 0.10% by weight or less.

This requirement does not apply to general purpose cleaners, antiperspirant/deodorant products or insecticide foggers.
