The average annual burden is approximately 756 hours; however, because of study timing and efficiency, a single year could have up to 1,850 burden hours. There are no costs to respondents and no respondent recordkeeping requirements associated with the study. General Description of Collection: CPSC uses data on human strength and capabilities to develop consumer product safety standards and to inform other CPSC staff activities. Strength capabilities of children are used to develop product performance requirements in standards to reduce or eliminate the risk such products might pose to a child (e.g., a product breaking or collapsing, or liberation of a small part). The information to be collected from child participants ranging in age 3 months to 5 years includes contact and background information necessary to participate in a study to obtain child strength measures for upper and lower extremities and bite strength. Written consent is obtained from caregivers and verbal assent is obtained from children who are old enough to provide it. Researchers will obtain several standard anthropometric measurements from each child, including body weight and standing height. Researchers also record the participant’s body shape using a whole-body laser scanner (VITUS XXL) and a Microsoft Kinect sensor.
