Statement of Policy: Testing andCertification of Lead Content Reminder of exempted materials––––––––––Precious gemstonesSemi-precious gemstones and mineralsNatural or cultured pearlsWood (any paint requires testing)Paper and similar materials (paperboard) and coatingsthat soak into the paper and cannot be scraped offCMYK process printing inksTextiles, dyed or undyed, excluding after-treatmentapplications such as screen prints, transfers, decalsPlant-derived or animal-derived materials (beeswax,seeds, nutshells, bone, feathers, fur, etc.)Surgical steel and other stainless steelPrecious metals (gold, sterling silver, etc.)Statement of Policy: Testing andCertification of Lead Content CMYK Process Printing Inks exemption– 4 color process which can be identified viamicroscopic evaluation– Exempt from Lead Content, regardless of whether ornot they are ‘scrapable’– Not Exempt from ASTM F963 soluble heavy metals ifthey are ‘scrapable’– Exemption does Not include: Spot colors Other inks not used in CMYK process Inks that can be scraped off surface Inks that are used in after-treatment applicationssuch as screen prints, transfers, decals, or otherprintsStatement of Policy: Testing andCertification of Lead Content Lead testing is not required on components orproducts that are made entirely of exemptmaterials– No testing is required to prove that an item is made ofan exemptedpmaterial ((e.g.g yyou don’t have to test acotton shirt to prove that it is cotton) For products containing components made ofboth exempted and non-exempted materials,only the non-exempted materials need to betested, but the entire finished product must becertified for compliance5

Tracking Labels for Children’s Products Permanent, distinguishing marks on product (to theextent practicable) and packaging manufactured as ofAugust 14, 2009 Manufacturer or private labeler nameLocation of productionDate of productionOther information (batch, run number, sources)Practicability of Tracking Labels CPSC has not specified type size, location or format oftracking label Determining if it is practicable to include the trackinglabel on product is a challenge in itself, and factors suchas size of the product, material, and manufacturingtechniques must be considered.Single items where it is practicableto use a permanent tracking labelPermanent tracking labelcan beb placedld on eachh cup.Tracking label should be non-inkand should not be leachable.Permanent tracking labelcan be attached to stuffed toy.Surface area of sun glassesallows room for permanenttracking label without marringaesthetics of the item.Large enough to accommodatea permanent tracking label.9
Single items where it is not practicableto use a permanent tracking labelThe size and surface area of theseearrings are too small to accommodatea country of origin label or a permanenttracking label. Tracking label shouldappear on the packaging.It is not practicable to usea permanent tracking label on socksbecause socks are unableto be marked directly with acountry of origin label.Tracking Label Requirement The overall purpose is to enhance recall effectiveness– Keep this purpose in mind when considering whatinformation to include on a tracking label Tracking labels will provide information to help amanufacturer target the problem and initiate an effectivecorrective action program, and allows recalled product tobe identified and pulled from the marketplaceTracking Label Applicabilityfor Promotional Products Supplier should include tracking labelinformation. Depending on changes made to the supplier’sproduct, distributor may need to includeadditional tracking label markings10
Tracking Label Enforcement The CPSC does not intend to penalize manufacturersfor inadvertent violations of the state when they havemade a good faith effort in attempting to comply. A company thatth t misrepresentsit theth scope off theth productsd taffected by a recall should be subject to a penalty. The manufacturer/importer/distributor should beresponsible to make sure the products are marked soproducts can be readily distinguished by everyone(including the consumer who has the product in thehome).PPAI Tracking Label System PPAI has developed an electronic system formaintaining the tracking label information with a URLcode on the product and packaging itself. Additional details on this system are available throughPPAI.Section 105Labeling Requirements forAdvertising Toys and Games11

Phthalates Phthalates may be found in following materials––––Soft or flexible plastics, except polyolefinsSoft or flexible rubber, except silicone rubber and natural latexFoam rubber or foam plastic such as PU foamSurface coatings, non-slip coatings, finishes, decals, printeddesigns– Elastic materials on apparelapparel, such as sleepwear– Adhesives and sealants Phthalates would not likely be found in the followingmaterials– Unfinished metal– Natural wood, except coatings and adhesives added to wood– Textiles, except printed decorations, waterproof coatings,elastic– Mineral products such as sand, glass, crystalDRAFT Guidance Document:Testing and Certification Requirements Reasonable test programTesting frequencySample size considerationsComponent testingTwo types of certification of complianceAppendices which outline the product safetyrules Timeline for required third-party testing ofchildren’s products Real-life Q&A’s concerning testing andcertification requirementsReasonable Test Program Five Essential Elements– Product specification including applicablesafety rules, standards, etc.– Certification tests that demonstratecompliance with the applicable safety rulesrules,standards, etc.– Production testing plan– Remedial action plan (CAPA)– Documentation of your reasonable testprogram and how it is implemented14
Testing Frequency Minimum annual testing is “strongly encouraged” Should be performed by CPSC-recognized lab More frequent testing is “encouraged” when noncompliancepppresents a substantial pproduct hazard Changes in production may also necessitate eithermore frequent testing, or completely newcertification tests Test samples should be randomly selectedTesting Frequency For small volume production– Test every 10,000 pieces produced– Changes in production may still necessitate either morefrequent testing, or completely new certification testsSample Size CPSC “cannot prescribe any specific sample size” Factors to consider in determining testing samplesize include:– Whether testing is destructive– Testingg costs– Specific aspects of the product (substantial product hazardif testing failure)– Similarities to other (tested) product– Production quantity– Likelihood of non-compliance– Customer complaints or product returns related tocompliance15
Sample Size Factors likely to increase frequency of testing,testing sample size, or both include:– Non-compliance may result in serious injury or death– Number of products produced annually is very large– Product has considerable test variability in tests related toapplicable product safety rules– Product tests close to specified safety limits– Testing is non-destructive or inexpensive– Products are dissimilar to other tested products– Non-compliance cannot be determined easily, such as byvisual inspection– Customer complaints, product returns related tocomplianceComponent Testing Manufacturer can rely on third party test data fromcomponent manufacturer or supplier, provided:– The testing meets all CPSC requirements– That there has been no material change in thecomponent since testing was performed– That nothing in the manufacturing process wouldhave affected test results of the component– That traceability is evidentComponent Testing If Manufacturer is relying on third party test datafrom component manufacturer or supplier, theyshould:– Keep detailed records of purchases and lot andbatch records– Perform some production testing Manufacturer is ultimately responsible for productcompliance16
Component Testing – Other Tests Finished components not yet assembled to finishedproduct may be tested separately for certain tests– Lead content– Phthalates– Lead in paint Mechanical or Flammability in most cases willrequire finished product to testResources PPAI: www.ppai.org Product Safety powered by PPAI:http://www.ppai.org/Member/productsafety.aspx Consumer Product Safety Commission:www.cpsc.gov ; www.recalls.gov American National Standards Institutewww.ansi.org or www.astm.org Specialized Technology Resources:www.STRQuality.comThis information is being furnished by PPAI foreducational and informational purposes only.
