Title: ●Requirements for Commission Acceptance of Third Party Conformity Assessment Body 
Abstract: Section 14(a) of the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA), as added by the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008, requires the Commission to publish requirements for third party conformity assessment bodies to assess conformity with a children’s product safety rule, and to maintain on its website an up-to-date list of Commission accepted third party conformity assessment bodies. Section 14(e) of the CPSA provides that the Commission may withdraw or suspend its acceptance of a third party conformity assessment body. The Commission will be considering a rule that would codify the requirements and procedures that a third party conformance body must meet for becoming a Commission accepted third party conformity assessment body, would address how a third party conformity assessment body may voluntarily discontinue participation in the Commission’s children’s product assessment program, and would describe the grounds and procedures for withdrawal or suspension of Commission acceptance of a third party conformity assessment body.
