California Regulations on Extraction Solvents
According to the California Code of Regulations Title 16, Division 42, the term nonvolatile solvent applies to solvents used in extraction that are not volatile. Examples include carbon dioxide (CO2) and ethanol, which may be used during extraction or post-extraction.
Requirements for Closed-Loop Extraction Systems
California’s Title 17 Division 1 Chapter 13 §40225 mandates that extractions using CO2 or volatile solvents happen only in professional closed-loop extraction systems. These systems must:
-
Be commercially manufactured with a visible, permanent serial number.
-
Have certification from a licensed engineer. This certifies the system meets safety standards and recognized codes such as ASME, ANSI, UL, or ASTM.
The engineer’s signature, stamp, and the system serial number must appear on the certification document.
Fire and Safety Code Compliance
Extraction systems and facilities must comply with local fire codes. They require approval from fire officials and adherence to standards such as:
-
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
-
International Building Code (IBC)
-
International Fire Code (IFC)
-
Other relevant safety and building codes covering solvent or gas handling and storage.
Going Beyond Compliance: Safety Measures
While ethanol currently classifies as a non-volatile solvent, ProExtractionUSA follows volatile solvent guidelines to ensure maximum safety. The company recommends electrical parts with ETL or UL marks.
Additionally, the system meets ASME requirements and includes pressure relief devices. TruSteel obtained a professional engineering stamp to guarantee strict quality and regulatory compliance across jurisdictions.
