(430 ILCS 35/11) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 261)
Sec. 11.
If the Director finds that, because of the size of the package
involved or because of the minor hazard presented by the substance
contained therein, or for other good and sufficient reasons, full
compliance with the labeling requirements otherwise applicable under this
Act is impracticable or is not necessary for the adequate protection of the
public health and safety, the Director shall promulgate regulations
exempting such substance from these requirements to the extent he
determines to be consistent with adequate protection of the public health
and safety, or if the Director finds that the requirements of this Act are
not adequate for the protection of the public health and safety in view of
the special hazard presented by any particular hazardous substance, he may
by regulation establish such reasonable variations or additional label
requirements as he finds necessary for the protection of the public health
and safety; and any such hazardous substance intended, or packaged in a
form suitable, for use in the household or by children, which fails to bear
a label in accordance with such regulations shall be a misbranded hazardous
substance; and,
Further, whenever in the judgment of the Director such action will
promote the objectives of this Act by avoiding or resolving uncertainty as
to its application, the Director may by regulation declare to be a
hazardous substance, for the purposes of this Act, any substance or mixture
of substances which he finds meets the requirements of Section 2-4.
