Abstract:

Section 14(i)(3) of the Consumer Product Safety Act requires the Commission to seek opportunities to reduce the cost of third party testing requirements consistent with assuring compliance with any applicable children's product safety rule. Staff prepared a briefing package for Commission consideration with a draft notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) regarding third party testing of certain manufactured wood/engineered wood products for lead, the ASTM F963 elements, and the specified phthalates. The comment period ended on December 27, 2017. Staff is currently preparing a final rule package for Commission consideration.
