        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 102 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA), Public Law 110-314, 122 Stat. 3016 (August 14, 2008), mandates that third party testing be conducted for certain childrens products.  Section 3(a)(2) of the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA) defines a children's product as "a consumer product designed or intended primarily for children 12 years of age or younger."  Section 102 of the CPSIA also directs the Commission to publish a notice of requirements for accreditation of third party conformity assessment bodies (laboratories) to assess conformity with such childrens product safety rules.  Although vinyl plastic film is used in nonchildren's wearing apparel and fabrics for nonchildren's wearing apparel, some vinyl plastic film is used in clothing textiles designed or intended primarily for children 12 years of age or younger.  The Commission initiated a rulemaking to establish the requirements that third party conformity assessment bodies must meet for Commission acceptance of accreditation for testing pursuant to 16 CFR part 1611 Standard for the Flammability of Vinyl Plastic Film, which sets a minimum standard for flammability of vinyl plastic film which are subject to the requirements of the Flammable Fabrics Act.]]></ABSTRACT>
