(2) For consumer products for which the label, packaging, or accompanying literature specifically states that the product should be diluted with water or non-VOC solvent prior to use, the limits specified in Table 1 shall apply to the product only after the minimum recommended dilution has taken place. For purposes of this subsection, "minimum recommended dilution" shall not include recommendations for incidental use of a concentrated product to deal with limited special applications such as hard to remove soils or stains.

(3) For consumer products for which the label, packaging, or accompanying literature states that the product should be diluted with any VOC solvent prior to use, the limits specified in Table 1 shall apply to the product only after the maximum recommended dilution has taken place.

(4) Effective September 1, 2016, no person shall sell, supply, offer for sale, or manufacture for use any aerosol adhesive, adhesive removers, and graffiti removers that contain methylene chloride, perchloroethylene, or trichloroethylene.

Sell-through products of aerosol adhesive, adhesive removers, and graffiti removers that contain methylene chloride, perchloroethylene, or trichloroethylene and were manufactured before September 1, 2016, may be sold, supplied, or offered for sale so long as the product container or package displays the date on which the product was manufactured.

(5) No person shall sell, supply, offer for sale, or manufacture any floor wax stripper unless the following requirements are met:

(a) The label of each non-aerosol floor wax stripper shall specify a dilution ratio for light or medium build-up of polish that results in an as-used VOC concentration of 3% by weight or less.

(b) If a non-aerosol floor wax stripper is also intended to be used for removal of heavy build-up of polish, the label of that floor wax stripper shall specify a dilution ratio for heavy build-up of polish that results in an as-used VOC concentration of 12% by weight or less.

(6) Products containing ozone-depleting compounds. For any consumer product for which standards are specified under R307-357-4, no person shall sell, supply, offer for sale, or manufacture for sale any consumer product that contains any of the following ozone-depleting compounds:

(a) CFC 11 (trichlorofluoromethane);

(b) CFC 12 (dichlorodifluoromethane);

(c) CFC 113 (1,1,1 trichloro 2,2,2 trifluoroethane);

(d) CFC 114 (1 chloro 1,1 difluoro 2 chloro 2,2 difluoroethane);

(e) CFC 115 (chloropentafluoroethane);

(f) Halon 1211 (bromochlorodifluoromethane);

(g) Halon 1301 (bromotrifluoromethane);

(h) Halon 2402 (dibromotetrafluoroethane);

(i) HCFC 22 (chlorodifluoromethane);

(j) HCFC 123 (2,2 dichloro 1,1,1 trifluoroethane);

(k) HCFC 124 (2 chloro 1,1,1,2 tetrafluoroethane);

(l) HCFC 141b (1,1 dichloro 1 fluoroethane);

(m) HCFC 142b (1 chloro 1,1 difluoroethane);

(n) 1,1,1 trichloroethane; and

(o) Carbon tetrachloride.

(7) The requirements of R307-357-4(6) shall not apply to any existing product formulation that complies with Table 1 or any existing product formulation that is reformulated to meet the standards set in Table 1, provided the ozone-depleting compound content of the reformulated product does not increase.

(8) The requirements of R307-357-4(6) shall not apply to any ozone-depleting compounds that may be present as impurities in a consumer product in an amount equal to or less than 0.01% by weight of the product.
