 TÍTULO: Norma de seguridad relativa a los portabebés con estructura de soporte 
ORGANISMO: Comisión de Seguridad de los Productos de Consumo 
MEDIDA: norma definitiva 
RESUMEN: la "Ley Danny Keysar relativa a la notificación de la seguridad de los productos para 
niños", artículo 104(b) de la Ley de Mejora de la Seguridad de los Prod uctos de Consumo de 2008 
(CPSIA), exige que la Comisión de Seguridad de los Productos de Consumo de los Estados Unidos 
(Comisión o CPSC) promulgue normas de seguri dad para productos duraderos destinados a 
lactantes o niños de corta edad. Esas normas serán "sustancialmente iguales" a las normas de 
aplicación voluntaria o más estrictas que estas, si la CPSC determina que la adopción de 
prescripciones más estrictas puede mejorar la protección contra las lesiones que podría causar un producto. La Comisión propone una norma de seguridad relativa a los portabebés con estructura de soporte, con arreglo a las directrices del artículo 104(b) de la CPSIA. La CPSC modifica también 
su reglamento sobre organismos externos de evalua ción de la conformidad en el sentido de añadir 
la norma obligatoria para portabebés con estructura de soporte a su lista de avisos sobre requisitos ( Notices of Requirements – NOR ). 
FECHAS: la norma entrará en vigor el 2 de  septiembre de 2016. El Director del Federal Register  
aprobó la incorporación por referencia de determinadas publicaciones indicadas en la norma notificada, con entrada en vigor en esa fecha.
