Sec. 15. (a) A manufacturer of a cigarette that the state fire marshal determines cannot be tested by the test method in section 13(a) of this chapter shall propose a test method and performance standard for the cigarette to the state fire marshal. Upon approval of the proposed test method and a determination by the state fire marshal that the performance standard proposed by the manufacturer is equivalent to the performance standard in section 13(c) of this chapter, the manufacturer may use the test method and performance standard to certify the cigarette under section 21 of this chapter.
(b) If the state fire marshal determines that:
(1) another state has enacted reduced cigarette ignition propensity standards that include a test method and performance standard that are the same as those contained in this chapter; and
(2) the officials in that state responsible for implementing those requirements have approved the proposed alternative test method and performance standard for a particular cigarette proposed by a manufacturer as meeting the fire safety standards of that state's law or rule under a legal provision comparable to this section;
the state fire marshal shall authorize that manufacturer to use the alternative test method and performance standard to certify that cigarette for sale in Indiana, unless the state fire marshal demonstrates a reasonable basis for why the alternative test should not be accepted under this chapter. All other applicable requirements of this chapter apply to the manufacturer.
