A New "Must-Do" for Children's Products Manufacturers and Importers: Developing a CPSC-Compliant Product Testing and Certification Program

Recorded on: Sep. 28, 2012
Running Time: 01:03:27

Taken from the briefing A New "Must-Do" for Children's Products Manufacturers and Importers: Developing a CPSC-Compliant Product Testing and Certification Program 2012 recorded September, 2012.

Consumers insist that the children’s products that they purchase are safe and comply with all product safety standards. Retailers mandate that their children’s product suppliers certify that all such products are compliant with all U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (“CPSC”)-mandated product safety rules. Now, however, children’s products manufacturers and importers will be required by the CPSC to do more. These product suppliers must also develop and implement by February 8, 2013 their own Product Testing and Certification Program. The development and implementation of this new Program will, according to the CPSC’s regulations, provide children’s products manufacturers and importers a “high degree of assurance” that all of its children’s products, not just the products that were tested, are compliant with applicable CPSC product safety rules.

Because developing and implementing the new CPSC-compliant Product Testing and Certification Program will increase the likelihood that a company’s children’s products are in compliance, having such a Program will help protect a company’s valuable brands from adverse publicity and avoid commercial disruption from having their goods detained at a port or recalled by the CPSC.

Lecture Topics  [Total time 01:03:37]

  • The mandatory and suggested Product Testing and Certification Program requirements
