Here are the proposed rules and reg.'s for NJ:
The Board is proposing a new subsection (b) in
N.J.A.C. 13:28-3.2 which sets forth the cleansing and sanitization
requirements applicable to manicuring shops. Proposed new subsection
(b) requires all reusable implements and tools to be cleaned and
sanitized consistent with the requirements set forth in the new
subsection. Specifically, subsection (b) requires an enzyme pre-soak to
be used prior to cleaning implements, and that implements be placed
directly into an ultrasonic unit for a 10-minute cycle or as
recommended by the manufacturer. Implements must be inspected for
pitting and rust, and damaged implements must be discarded. Implements
must be rinsed, dried and placed directly into a chemical disinfectant
registered by the EPA and labeled as being tuberculocidal for the
contact time specified on the product label. Implements then must be
rinsed, dried and stored in a clean drawer.
The Board is also proposing a new subsection (c) in N.J.A.C. 13:28-3.2
to delineate specific cleansing and sanitization requirements for
pedicure tubs. New subsection (c) requires pedicuring tubs to be
cleansed between clients. Cleansing must include brushing the interior
surfaces of the tub with a mild detergent, draining, rinsing and wiping
the tub dry with a disposable paper towel, and either spraying the
interior surfaces with a chemical disinfectant registered by the EPA
and labeled as tuberculocidal or using a bleach wipe for a specified
contact time. Proposed new subsection (c) also requires certain
cleansing and sanitization procedures to be followed at the end of each
day. Those procedures include removing, cleaning and disinfecting the
screen, filter and any removable parts within the basin, brushing the
interior surfaces of the tub with a mild detergent and cleansing it
with a solution of bleach and water. All brushes must be disinfected at
the end of the day by soaking them in a bleach and water solution.
Shops must maintain a disinfection log to record end of the day
disinfection of each pedicuring [page=6743] tub. The log, which must be
posted in a location clearly visible to all shop patrons, must include
the date, tub number and name of the person disinfecting the equipment.
Proposed new subsection (d) of N.J.A.C.
13:28-3.2 requires all shops offering pedicuring services to install a
..2 micron filter on the incoming water line used to fill pedicure tubs
in the shop. Shops must comply with this requirement within six months
of the effective date of the rule amendment. The date of installation
must be marked on the filter and must be changed according to the
manufacturers' recommendations. Existing subsection (b) is proposed to
be recodified as subsection (e), with an amendment to include
orangewood sticks to the list of implements that must be discarded
after each use.
N.J.A.C. 13:28-2.14, which prohibits shop license holders from
employing unlicensed personnel to provide cosmetology and hairstyling
services, is proposed to be readopted without change. The Board is
proposing to repeal its existing rule on prohibited practices, N.J.A.C.
13:28-2.15, and is proposing a new rule in its place. The prohibited
practices currently set forth in existing rule N.J.A.C. 13:28-2.15 will
continue to be prohibited under the proposed new rule. Those practices
include the use of credo blades, skin scrapers, lancets or other
comparable instruments and the massaging, cleansing or stimulating the
skin below the stratum corneum. The proposed new rule also prohibits
licensees from performing permanent cosmetic applications or body
piercing services, which are currently prohibited under N.J.A.C.
13:28-2.10. In addition to these practices, the proposed new rule
prohibits licensees and shop owners from performing or offering to
perform eyebrow and/or eyelash tinting, the removal of hair from the
genital area, the removal of skin tags and teeth whitening or other
services related to the beautification of the teeth. Licensees and shop
owners are also precluded from offering ear candling services, which
are defined as the placing of candles or any other device in the ear in
order to cleanse and/or treat the ear or inner ear canal.
