2 Va. Admin. Code § 5-670-40 - Ingredient statement
A.
Location of ingredient statement. The ingredient statement shall appear on the
front of the label or that part of the label displayed under customary
conditions of purchase, except in cases where the commissioner determines that,
due to the size or form of the container, a statement on that portion of the
label is impractical and permits the statement to appear on another side or
panel of the label. When so permitted, the ingredient statement shall be in
larger font and be more prominent than would otherwise be required. The
ingredient statement shall run parallel with other printed matter on the panel
of the label on which it appears and shall be on a clear contrasting
background.
B. Names of
ingredients. The well-known common name of the ingredient shall be given or, if
the ingredient has no common name, the correct chemical name. If there is no
common name and the chemical composition is unknown or complex, the
commissioner may permit the use of a new or coined name which he finds to be
appropriate for the information and protection of the user. If the use of a new
or coined name is permitted, the commissioner may prescribe the terms under
which it may be used. A trademark or trade name may not be used as the name of
an ingredient, except when it has become a common name.
C. Percentages of ingredients. Percentages of
ingredients shall be determined by weight, and the sum of the percentages of
the ingredients shall be 100. Sliding scale forms of ingredient statements
shall not be used. Plant incorporated protectant products bearing an ingredient
statement approved by the EPA are permitted to have ingredient statements where
the sum of the percentages of the ingredients do not equal 100.
D. Designation of ingredients. Active
ingredients and inert ingredients shall be so designated, and the term "inert
ingredient" shall appear in the same size font and be as prominent as the term
"active ingredient."
