US: New consumer safety requirements to be effective this week
After February 11, 2010, all manufacturers, importers or retailers of imported children's products and other consumer goods are required to provide evidence of third-party testing of their products and to show compliance with the new Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA). For the children's market, items are covered by the Act include toys, furniture and jewellery.
As a CPSC-accredited laboratory, UK-based SATRA is offering third-party test reports showing compliance with the US regulations. The Technology Centre can also offer guidance on how a product is affected by the CPSIA, the testing required and interpretation of the results.
Jackie Glasspool, business manager of SATRA, said: "Although SATRA is a UK-based test house, our accreditation for US legislation allows us to fully support our members selling into the US market."
Since the CPSC introduced the CPSIA in August 2008, there have been a number of changes to the limits of lead allowed in certain products, and to the testing required in order to show compliance.
