DEC Certified PERC Dry Cleaning Equipment

Part 232 requires that all new Perchloroethylene dry cleaning facilities (i.e., shops opened on or after May 15, 1997 -- the day Part 232 went into effect) MUST be equipped with ONLY NEW fourth generation equipment. Additionally, when replacing equipment, existing facilities MUST install only NEW fourth generation dry-cleaning machines.

Facility owners needing a new machine (to outfit a new shop, replace an old machine, or add an additional machine), are required to install machines from the following list of NYSDEC Certified fourth generation dry-cleaning machines only.

The date of June 26, 2003 is significant to existing perchloroethylene dry cleaning facilities with third generation equipment. Part 232 required owners or managers of these facilities to upgrade their third generation dry cleaning machines or replace them with new fourth generation machines within four years of the effective date of the regulation, that is, by May 15, 2001. The Department, however, announced on February 13, 2001 that it would delay enforcement of these requirements until nine months after the first fourth generation perchloroethylene dry cleaning machine was certified per §232.13. The first perchloroethylene dry cleaning machine was NYS certified on September 26, 2002. Thus, enforcement started on June 26, 2003.

Therefore, please note that owners or managers of such dry cleaning facilities which were not in compliance with either paragraph 232.6(b)(3)(iii) [Stand-Alone Facilities] or 232.6(b)(6)(iii) [Mixed-Use Facilities] were required to take appropriate steps to bring these facilities into compliance no later than June 26, 2003. Facilities which are not currently in compliance are subject to enforcement and possible penalties (fines).

PLEASE NOTE: The Department previously maintained a list of "Interim Approved" fourth generation dry cleaning machines which were warranted by their manufacturers to meet all Part 232 equipment content and performance standards. The Interim Approved list expired on June 25, 2003. As of June 26, 2003, only New York State Certified dry cleaning equipment can now be installed for use in New York State.

NOTE TO DRY CLEANING EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURERS: The perchloroethylene dry cleaning facilities regulation, 6 NYCRR Part 232, requires manufacturers of any new closed-loop dry cleaning machines, converted dry cleaning machines, door fan systems, or add-on secondary control systems, to have their equipment certified by New York State (NYS) to meet the performance and testing standards of §232.6 and §232.13.

It is unlawful for any person to sell, offer for sale, cause to be offered for sale, lease or represent new closed-loop perchloroethylene dry cleaning equipment or other related machines or systems anywhere in New York State unless such equipment has been fully tested and Certified by the DEC as meeting the design and performance standards of Part 232.

An independent testing organization, Environmental Risk Management, Incorporated, (ERMI) has been authorized by DEC to offer the required testing and evaluation services necessary for manufacturers and vendors of perchloroethylene dry cleaning equipment or related machines and systems to obtain §232.13 certification. Equipment manufacturers and vendors should contact ERMI, Inc. directly to schedule the testing of their dry cleaning equipment. Note that all costs for testing and certification will be born by the equipment manufacturers and vendors. The contact information for ERMI, Inc. is as follows:

Footnotes

¹ Part 232 requires that the carbon beds on these machines MUST be regenerated at least WEEKLY. If, in a calendar week, the facility processes more loads than the number listed below, the carbon must be regenerated more frequently as indicated.

² The carbon bed on these machines is automatically regenerated at the end of every dry cleaning cycle; however, maintenance regeneration is still required once a week or every 50 loads, whichever occurs first.
