California Proposition 65, also known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act, is commonly referred to as the CA65 certification, CP65, or PROP 65. It is a U.S. chemical certification that tests for total lead, total cadmium, phthalates, bisphenol A, and other chemical items, as well as their limit requirements.

The California Proposition 65 was enacted in November 1986, aiming to regulate the use of harmful substances to prevent and reduce their impact on human health and the environment. It seeks to protect California residents and the state's drinking water sources from contaminants known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. The proposition requires businesses to clearly and reasonably label products containing known toxic chemicals to warn consumers.

Products covered by Proposition 65 in California:

Jewelry, toys, electrical equipment, glass and ceramic materials, clothing, ornaments, dyes, cosmetics, gifts, manufacturing or construction supplies, by-products of chemical processes such as car exhaust, smoke, and natural gas combustion, covering almost all products and detailing exposure scenarios for hazardous materials.

The California court also reached an agreement with the defendant retailers, stipulating that they are prohibited from purchasing, importing, manufacturing, and supplying lead-exceeding products that have not been tested by a third party to consumers in California.
