Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 61 / Thursday, March 28, 2024 / Notices
In 2012, the Commission adopted a
mandatory rule for infant swings under
section 104(b)(1) of the CPSIA, which
was codified in 16 CFR part 1223. The
rule incorporated by reference ASTM
F2088–12a, Standard Consumer Safety
Specification for Infant Swings, with
modifications to the labeling and test
method requirements.1 77 FR 66703
(Nov. 7, 2012). At the time the
Commission published the final rule,
ASTM F2088–12a was the current
version of the voluntary standard.
ASTM subsequently revised the
voluntary standard six times. ASTM
F2088–22 is the current mandatory
standard incorporated by reference in 16
CFR part 1223. ASTM F2088 applies to
infant and cradle swings, which it
describes as products with powered
mechanisms that provide swinging or
gliding seats for children who cannot
climb out of the products. The ASTM
standard includes performance
requirements, test methods, and
requirements for warning labels and
instructional literature to address
hazards to infants associated with infant
and cradle swings.
In April 2013, ASTM notified CPSC
that it had issued a revised standard for
infant swings, ASTM F2088–13. In
accordance with the procedures set out
in section 104(b)(4)(B) of the CPSIA, the
revised standard became the new
mandatory standard for infant swings.
The Commission published a direct
final rule to update 16 CFR part 1223,
incorporating by reference ASTM
F2088–13, without modification. 78 FR
37706 (June 24, 2013).
After the Commission issued the
revised mandatory standard in 2013,
ASTM approved two more revisions:
ASTM F2088–15 and ASTM F2088–19.
However, ASTM did not notify CPSC of
these revisions under CPSIA section
104(b)(4)(B). Consequently, these
revised standards did not become the
mandatory standards by operation of
law, and the Commission did not
update the mandatory standard to
incorporate by reference these revised
ASTM standards. On October 5, 2020,
ASTM notified CPSC that it had revised
the voluntary standard for infant
swings, issuing ASTM F2088–20. In
accordance with the procedures set out
in section 104(b)(4)(B) of the CPSIA, the
revised standard became the new
mandatory standard for infant swings.
The Commission published a direct
final rule to update 16 CFR part 1223,
incorporating by reference ASTM
1 The modifications included changes to the
required warning label content and a revised test
method to address an omission in the voluntary
standard for toy mobiles attached to swings.

F2088–20, without modification. 86 FR
4961 (Jan. 19, 2021).
On October 2, 2021, ASTM notified
CPSC that it had revised the voluntary
standard for infant swings, issuing
ASTM F2088–21. In accordance with
the procedures set out in section
104(b)(4)(B) of the CPSIA, the revised
standard became the new mandatory
standard for infant swings. The
Commission published a direct final
rule to update 16 CFR part 1223,
incorporating by reference ASTM
F2088–21, without modification. 86 FR
59609 (Oct. 28, 2021).
On July 5, 2022, ASTM notified CPSC
that it had revised the voluntary
standard for infant swings, issuing
ASTM F2088–22. In accordance with
the procedures set out in section
104(b)(4)(B) of the CPSIA, the revised
standard became the new mandatory
standard for infant swings. The
Commission published a direct final
rule to update 16 CFR part 1223,
incorporating by reference ASTM
F2088–22, without modification. 87 FR
57390 (Sep. 20, 2022).
On March 18, 2024, ASTM notified
CPSC that it had approved and
published ASTM F2088–24. CPSC staff
is assessing the revised voluntary
standard to determine, consistent with
section 104(b)(4)(B) of the CPSIA, its
effect on the safety of consumer
products covered by the standard. The
Commission invites public comment on
that question, to inform staff’s
assessment and any subsequent
Commission consideration of the
revisions in ASTM F2088–24.2
The currently incorporated voluntary
standard (ASTM F2088–22) and the
revised voluntary standard (ASTM
F2088–24) are available for review in
several ways. A read-only copy of the
existing, incorporated standard (ASTM
F2088–22) is available for viewing, at no
cost, on the ASTM website at: https://
www.astm.org/READINGLIBRARY/. A
read-only copy of the revised standard
(ASTM F2088–2024), including redlined versions that identify the changes
from the 2022 version to the 2024
version, are available, at no cost, on
ASTM’s website at: https://
www.astm.org/CPSC.htm. Interested
parties can also download copies of the
standards by purchasing them from
ASTM International, 100 Barr Harbor
Drive, P.O. Box C700, West
Conshohocken, PA 19428–2959; phone:

Alternatively, interested parties can
