    (a) Scope. This part 1209, an interim consumer product safety 
standard, prescribes flame resistance and corrosiveness requirements for 
cellulose insulation that is a consumer product. These requirements are 
intended to reduce or eliminate an unreasonable risk of injury to 
consumers from flammable and corrosive cellulose insulation. The 
requirements are based upon the flame resistance and corrosiveness 
requirements of General Services Administration Specification HH-I-515D.
    (b) Application. This part 1209 shall apply to cellulose insulation 
that is a consumer product, that is, cellulose insulation produced or 
distributed for sale to, or for the personal use, consumption, or 
enjoyment of consumers in or around a permanent or temporary household 
or residence, a school, in recreation, or otherwise. The interim 
standard applies to cellulose insulation that is produced or distributed 
for sale to consumers for their direct installation or use, as well as 
cellulose insulation that is produced or distributed for installation by 
professionals. This part 1209 applies only to cellulose insulation 
manufactured after October 15, 1979.
