SERVICE OVERVIEW
CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY IMPROVEMENT ACT (CPSIA)
The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) of 2008 significantly changed the testing and confirmation scene for makers, merchants, and private labelers. The law applies to each item dependent upon any Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) upheld guideline.
The guideline includes new limitations for lead in kids' items, brings down cut-off points on lead in paint and surface coatings, boycotts certain phthalates, requires obligatory outsider testing and documentation from a licensed lab, just as different necessities.
Third-party testing is needed to confirm the consistency of the guidelines for kids' items fabricated after the effective dates. The CPSC list labs are acknowledged as licensed to test products to at least one of these kids' item security rules, as recognized in every research facility's accreditation scope.
