(a) Whenever in the judgment of the Board such action will promote the objectives of this article by avoiding or resolving uncertainty as to its application, the Board may by regulation declare to be a hazardous substance, for the purposes of this article, any substance or mixture of substances which it finds meets the requirements of subparagraph (1) a. of Section 1601(a).

(b) If the Board finds that the requirements of section 1601(k) (1) are not adequate for the protection of the public health and safety in view of the special hazard presented by any particular hazardous substance, it may by regulation establish such reasonable variations or additional label requirements as it finds necessary for the protection of the public health and safety; and any container of such hazardous substance intended or suitable for household use which fails to bear a label in accordance with such regulations shall be deemed to be a misbranded package of a hazardous substance.

(c) If the Board 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 article is impracticable or is not necessary for the adequate protection of the public health and safety, the Board shall promulgate regulations exempting such substance from these requirements to the extent it determines to be consistent with adequate protection of the public health and safety.

(d) The Board may exempt from the requirements established by or pursuant to this Article any container of a hazardous substance with respect to which the Board finds that adequate requirements satisfying the purposes of this article have been established by or pursuant to any other state law.
