Statute Text
(6).
(2) The
certification shall provide the following information for each variety of
cigarette listed:
(a) The brand
name shown on the cigarette packaging.
(b) The style,
such as light or ultralight.
(c) The length in
millimeters.
(d) The
circumference in millimeters.
(e) The flavor,
such as menthol or chocolate, if applicable.
(f) Whether the
cigarette is filtered or nonfiltered.
(g) A packaging
description, such as soft pack or box.
(h) A description
of the packaging marking approved by the State Fire Marshal under ORS 476.785.
(i) The name,
address and telephone number of the laboratory conducting the ignition
propensity testing, if other than the laboratory of the manufacturer.
(j) The date of
the ignition propensity testing.
(3) The
certification of a cigarette variety is valid for three years from the date of
receipt by the State Fire Marshal.
(4) If the
manufacturer certifies a cigarette variety and later makes any change that is
likely to alter the cigarette varietys compliance with the fire safety
performance standard described in ORS 476.770 (6), before distributing the
changed cigarette variety in this state the manufacturer shall retest the
ignition propensity of that variety. Notwithstanding subsection (3) of this
section, a manufacturer may not sell a cigarette variety described in this
subsection unless that variety continues to meet the fire safety performance
standard described in ORS 476.770 (6).
(5) A
manufacturer shall retain copies of all ignition propensity test data for
cigarette varieties listed in the certification, including any retesting
performed under subsection (4) of this section. The manufacturer shall retain
the test data for not less than three years. The manufacturer shall provide
copies of the test data upon request to the State Fire Marshal and to the
Attorney General. Failure of a manufacturer to provide copies of ignition
propensity test data requested by the State Fire Marshal or the Attorney
General creates a rebuttable presumption that a cigarette variety does not meet
the fire safety performance standard described in ORS 476.770 (6).
(6) The State
Fire Marshal may determine that a cigarette variety certified under this
section does not have reduced ignition propensity only if:
(a) The test data
provided to the State Fire Marshal by the manufacturer demonstrate that the
cigarette variety does not meet the fire safety performance standard described
in ORS 476.770 (6); or
(b) The State
Fire Marshal conducts ignition propensity testing on the cigarette variety and
the test results demonstrate that the cigarette variety does not meet the fire
safety performance standard described in ORS 476.770 (6).
(7) Ignition
propensity testing by the State Fire Marshal under subsection (6) of this
section shall be conducted in accordance with the testing requirements
applicable to manufacturers by a laboratory meeting the requirements described
under ORS 476.775.
(8) Upon a
determination by the State Fire Marshal under subsection (6) of this section,
the State Fire Marshal may seek the remedies described in ORS 476.765. [2007
