Chairman Inez M. Tenenbaum and Commissioners Thomas H. Moore, Nancy Nord, Robert Adler and Anne Northup issued statements, and their statements can be found at https:// www.cpsc.gov. PO 00000 Frm 00023 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 section 14(a)(1), (a)(2), and (a)(3) of the CPSA, as amended by section 102 of the CPSIA. In brief, sections 14(a)(1), (a)(2), and (a)(3) of the CPSA establish testing and certification requirements for most consumer products regulated by or under the statutes enforced by the Commission, including children’s products. Section 14(a)(1) of the CPSA requires every manufacturer of a product (and the private labeler of such product if such product bears a private label) that is subject to a consumer product safety rule under the CPSA or a similar rule, ban, standard, or regulation under any other law enforced by the Commission and which is imported for consumption or warehousing or distributed in commerce, to issue a certificate. The manufacturer must certify, based on a test of each product or upon a reasonable testing program, that the product complies with all rules, bans, standards, or regulations applicable to the product under the CPSA or any other law enforced by the Commission. The certificate must specify each such rule, ban, standard, or regulation applicable to the product. For children’s products, section 14(a)(2) of the CPSA states that, before importing for consumption or warehousing or distributing in commerce any children’s product that is subject to a children’s product safety rule, the manufacturer (and the private labeler if the children’s product bears a private label) must submit sufficient samples of the children’s product, or samples that are identical in all material respects to the product, to a CPSCrecognized third party conformity assessment body accredited under section 14(a)(3) of the CPSA (‘‘recognized third party test laboratory’’). The recognized third party test laboratory must test the children’s product for compliance with such children’s product safety rule. Based on the testing, the manufacturer (or private labeler) must issue a certificate that certifies that the children’s product complies with the children’s product safety rule based on the assessment of a recognized third party laboratory accredited to conduct such tests. Section 14(a)(3) of the CPSA establishes a schedule for implementing third party testing and includes a time line for the accreditation of third party conformity assessment bodies. Section 14(a)(3)(A) of the CPSA states that the third party testing requirement applies to any children’s product manufactured more than 90 days after the Commission has established and published a ‘‘notice of requirements’’ for the accreditation of E:\FR\FM\28DEN1.SGM 28DEN1
