CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY 

COMMISSION 

Third Party Testing for Certain 

Children’s Products; Children’s 

Sleepwear, Sizes 0 Through 6X and 7 

Through 14: Requirements for 

Accreditation of Third Party 

Conformity Assessment Bodies 

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice of Requirements. 

SUMMARY: The Consumer Product Safety 

Commission (CPSC or Commission) is 

issuing a notice of requirements that 

provides the criteria and process for 

Commission acceptance of accreditation 

of third party conformity assessment 

bodies for testing of children’s 

sleepwear pursuant to 16 CFR parts 

1615 and 1616, the CPSC regulations 

under the Flammable Fabrics Act (FFA) 

relating to the flammability of children’s 

sleepwear. The Commission is issuing 

this notice of requirements pursuant to 

section 14(a)(3)(B)(vi) of the CPSA, 15 

U.S.C. 2063(a)(3)(B)(vi). 

DATES: Effective Date: The requirements 

for accreditation of third party 

conformity assessment bodies to assess 

conformity with 16 CFR parts 1615 and 

1616 are effective upon publication of 

this notice in the Federal Register. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Patricia K. Adair, Director, Division of 

Combustion and Fire Sciences, U.S. 

Consumer Product Safety Commission, 

4330 East West Highway, Bethesda, MD 

20814; telephone 301–504–7536; e-mail

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

A. Statutory Authority 

Section 14(a)(3)(B)(vi) of the CPSA, as 

added by section 102(a)(2) of the 

Consumer Product Safety Improvement 

Act of 2008 (CPSIA), Public Law 110– 

314, directs the CPSC to establish and 

publish a notice of requirements for 

accreditation of third party conformity 

assessment bodies to assess children’s 

products for conformity with ‘‘other 

children’s product safety rules.’’ Section 

14(f)(1) of the CPSA defines ‘‘children’s 

product safety rule’’ as ‘‘a consumer 

product safety rule under [the CPSA] or 

similar rule, regulation, standard, or ban 

under any other Act enforced by the 

Commission, including a rule declaring 

a consumer product to be a banned 

hazardous product or substance.’’ Under 

section 14(a)(3)(A) of the CPSA, each 

manufacturer (including an importer) or 

private labeler of products subject to 

those regulations must have products 

that are manufactured more than 90 

days after the establishment and Federal 

Register publication of a notice of the 

requirements for accreditation tested by 

a third party conformity assessment 

body accredited to do so, and must issue 

a certificate of compliance with the 

applicable regulations based on that 

testing. The Commission may extend 

the 90-day period by not more than 60 

days if the Commission determines that 

an insufficient number of third party 

conformity assessment bodies have been 

accredited to permit certification for a 

children’s product safety rule. Any 

requests for an extension should contain 

detailed facts showing why an extension 

is necessary. 

Section 14(a)(2) of the CPSA, as added 

by section 102(a)(2) of the CPSIA, 

requires that certification be based on 

testing of sufficient samples of the 

product, or samples that are identical in 

all material respects to the product. The 

Commission also emphasizes that, 

irrespective of certification, the product 

in question must comply with 

applicable CPSC requirements (see, e.g., 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
70912 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 223 / Friday, November 19, 2010 / Notices 

section 14(h) of the CPSA, added by 

section 102(b) of the CPSIA). 

Section 14(a)(3)(G) of the CPSA, 15 

U.S.C. 2063(a)(3)(G), exempts notices of 

requirements from the notice and 

comment rulemaking requirements of 

the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 

U.S.C. 553. Therefore, the Commission 

finds good cause that notice and public 

procedure thereon are unnecessary. 

B. The Children’s Sleepwear Standards 

The Standards applicable to 

children’s sleepwear (the ‘‘Standards’’) 

are 16 CFR part 1615, Standard for the 

Flammability of Children’s Sleepwear: 

Sizes 0 Through 6X (FF3–71), and 16 

CFR part 1616, Standard for the 

Flammability of Children’s Sleepwear: 

Sizes 7 Through 14 (FF5–74). The 

Standards were issued in the early 

1970s to reduce the unreasonable risk of 

burn injuries and deaths from fires 

associated with children’s sleepwear. 

Most burn incidents involving 

children’s sleepwear do not occur while 

children are sleeping; rather, the 

incidents occur while the children are 

awake, unsupervised, and wearing the 

sleepwear. The primary hazard is 

ignition of sleepwear by contact with 

hot surfaces and/or small open-flame 

ignition sources, such as stove elements, 

matches, and lighters. The Standards 

require that children’s sleepwear, and 

fabric intended for such sleepwear, stop 

burning when the flame source is 

removed. 

The original children’s sleepwear 

Standard for sizes 0 through 6X was 

revised in 1972, to include a statistical 

sampling plan for fabrics and garments. 

The sampling plan was devised to give 

assurance to manufacturers that 

sleepwear garments reaching the 

marketplace meet the flammability test, 

and that children wearing the sleepwear 

garments receive increased protection. 

The sampling plan also was intended to 

provide a framework for premarket 

testing, and thus, greatly assist in 

detecting noncomplying fabrics and 

garments before they are placed on the 

market. When the Standard for sizes 7 

through 14 was issued in 1975, it 

incorporated the same sampling plan as 

the one in the Standard for sizes 0 

through 6X. 

The Standards require testing of the 

fabric to be used in children’s 

sleepwear, of preproduction prototypes 

of the garment style or type which 

includes testing of the seams and the 

trim attached to the fabric, and of the 

seams of finished garments, by having 

fabric, seams, and trim exposed to a 

flame source under controlled 

conditions, as discussed below. To meet 

the criteria in § 1615.3(b) and 

§ 1616.3(b), three samples of five 

specimens each are tested, and the 

average char length of the sample must 

not exceed 17.8 centimeters (cm) (7.0 

inches (in)) and no individual specimen 

may have a char length of 25.4 cm (10.0 

in). 

In 1996, the Commission published 

amendments to the Standards that 

except products of wearing apparel from 

the definition of children’s sleepwear 

for the purpose of testing to the 

flammability requirements if they are: 

(1) Infant garments as defined in 

§ 1615.1(c) or; 

(2) Tight-fitting as defined in 

§ 1615.1(o) and § 1616.2(m), provided 

the garment is labeled with its size and 

provided with a specified warning 

statement on a hangtag attached to the 

garment and on a label on any package 

in which the garment is sold. 

All wearing apparel excepted pursuant 

to § 1615.1(c), § 1615.1(o) or § 1616.2(m) 

must otherwise comply with all the 

applicable requirements of the Standard 

for the Flammbility of Clothing Textiles 

(16 CFR part 1610) and the Standard for 

the Flammability of Vinyl Plastic Film 

(16 CFR part 1611). 

Children’s sleepwear garments subject 

to the Standards must follow specific 

sampling plans and be tested for 

flammability performance at several 

stages of production. The Standards 

have performance requirements for 

fabric, prototypes (seams and trims), 

and garment production units. There are 

recordkeeping requirements at each 

stage of testing. The following 

summarizes the three stages of testing: 

(1) Fabric testing. Fabrics that are 

promoted for use in children’s 

sleepwear are tested in the finished state 

(either original state or after one 

laundering) and must meet the 

requirements after 50 launderings (wash 

and dry) in either the fabric or finished 

garment state. Testing is of a Fabric 

Production Unit (FPU), which is a 

continuous length of fabric up to 5,000 

linear yards, or 10,000 linear yards for 

reduced sampling, which has a 

specified identity that remains 

unchanged throughout the unit, except 

for color or print pattern, as specified in 

the Standards. Samples are taken from 

the beginning and end of the FPU. 

(2) Prototype testing. Once a garment 

design is proposed, the seams and trims 

are tested to assure that satisfactory 

garment specifications have been 

chosen prior to production. All seam 

types and all seams over 10 inches are 

tested. Trims are tested in the 

orientation they will be used in the final 

garment; however, neckline, shoulder, 

and sleeve trim are only tested in the 

vertical configuration (the most severe 

scenario). 

(3) Production testing. Garment 

Production Unit (GPU) testing is carried 

out to assess the flammability of the 

garment as produced. The longest seam 

type is tested at this stage. Tests are 

conducted on each GPU, and each GPU 

is either accepted or rejected. The 

maximum number of garments in a GPU 

is 500 dozen (6,000 garments). 

C. This Notice of Requirements 

This notice provides the criteria and 

process for the Commission’s 

acceptance of accreditation of third 

party conformity assessment bodies for 

testing pursuant to 16 CFR part 1615, 

Standard for the Flammability of 

Children’s Sleepwear: Sizes 0 Through 

6X (FF3–71), and 16 CFR part 1616, 

Standard for the Flammability of 

Children’s Sleepwear: Sizes 7 Through 

14 (FF5–74). Section 3(a)(2) of the CPSA 

defines a ‘‘children’s product’’ as ‘‘a 

consumer product designed or intended 

primarily for children 12 years of age 

and younger.’’ The sizes of sleepwear 

covered by the cited regulations are 

primarily intended for children age 12 

years and younger; these sizes of 

sleepwear are therefore ‘‘children’s 

products’’ as that term is defined in the 

CPSA. 

This notice of requirements applies to 

all third party conformity assessment 

bodies as described in section 14(f)(2) of 

the CPSA that desire to test children’s 

sleepwear to the requirements of 16 CFR 

parts 1615 and/or 1616, where the test 

results will be used as the basis for a 

certification that the sleepwear complies 

with those requirements. Such third 

party conformity assessment bodies can 

be grouped into three general categories: 

(1) Third party conformity assessment 

bodies that are not owned, managed, or 

controlled by a manufacturer or private 

labeler of a children’s product to be 

tested by the third party conformity 

assessment body for certification 

purposes; (2) ‘‘firewalled’’ conformity 

assessment bodies (those that are 

owned, managed, or controlled by a 

manufacturer or private labeler of a 

children’s product to be tested by the 

third party conformity assessment body 

for certification purposes and that seek 

accreditation under the additional 

statutory criteria for ‘‘firewalled’’ 

conformity assessment bodies); and (3) 

third party conformity assessment 

bodies owned or controlled, in whole or 

in part, by a government. 

This notice of requirements is 

effective on November 19, 2010. 

Further, the publication of this notice of 

requirements lifts the Commission’s 

previous stay of enforcement with 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 223 / Friday, November 19, 2010 / Notices 70913 

regard to testing and certifications 

related to 16 CFR parts 1615 and 1616. 

Therefore, each manufacturer of 

children’s sleepwear subject to these 

regulations that is manufactured after 

February 17, 2011 must have samples of 

any such product, or samples that are 

identical in all material respects to such 

product, tested by a third party 

conformity assessment body accredited 

to do so and, based on such testing, 

issue a certificate that the sleepwear 

complies with the applicable Standard, 

before the sleepwear is imported for 

consumption or warehousing or 

distributed in commerce. (Under section 

3(a)(11) of the CPSA, the term 

‘‘manufacturer’’ includes anyone who 

manufactures or imports a product.) The 

Commission also is recognizing limited 

circumstances in which it will accept 

certifications based on product testing 

conducted before the third party 

conformity assessment body is accepted 

as accredited by the CPSC. The details 

regarding those limited circumstances 

are in part IV of this document below. 

As noted above, these Standards 

require testing at three stages in the 

process of developing and producing 

the sleepwear (fabric, prototype seams 

and trim, and production seams). The 

tests at each of these stages are designed 

to detect risks that can be reflected in 

the production garments. In addition, 

the results of the tests cannot have 

meaning unless the sampling criteria in 

the Standards are followed. Therefore, 

in order for third party testing to serve 

as the basis for the required certificate 

that the garment complies with the 

applicable Standard, it is necessary for 

the tests by a third party conformity 

assessment body whose accreditation 

has been accepted by the Commission 

be performed as specified in the 

Standards, that is, tests at the three 

stages specified in the Standards 

according to the sampling criteria in the 

Standards. Of course, responsible 

parties must, in addition, comply with 

all recordkeeping requirements of the 

Standards. We do note, however, that 16 

CFR 1615.35(b)(1) and 1616.35(c)(1) 

allow a firm to use another testing 

regime if the firm has proof that the 

other test is at least as stringent as the 

Standards. 

In addition, the Commission will not 

require third party testing to 

demonstrate that a product meets the 

exception for ‘‘tight-fitting garments’’ as 

defined by §§ 1615.1(c) and 1616.2(m), 

as these garments are not subject to the 

Standards. However, all fabrics 

intended for sleepwear meeting the 

tight-fitting exception from 16 CFR parts 

1615 and 1616 must meet the 

flammability requirements of 16 CFR 

part 1610, Standard for the 

Flammability of Clothing Textiles, and 

16 CFR part 1611, Standard for the 

Flammability of Vinyl Plastic Film. The 

Commission also will not require that 

the presence of the required labels and 

hangtags for tight-fitting garments be 

subject to third party testing. This is 

consistent with the exemption from 

testing accorded to labeling 

requirements under the Federal 

Hazardous Substances Act (see NEWS 

from CPSC, December 18, 2009 (Release 

No. 10–083)). 

D. Lifting the Stay of Enforcement of 

Section 14(a) of the CPSA as to 

Children’s Sleepwear 

The Commission stayed the 

enforcement of certain provisions of 

section 14(a) of the CPSA in a notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

February 9, 2009 (74 FR 6396). The stay 

applied to testing and certification of 

various products, including children’s 

sleepwear. On December 28, 2009, the 

Commission published a notice in the 

Federal Register (74 FR 68588) revising 

the terms of the stay. The December 28, 

2009 notice did not lift the stay with 

regard to testing and certification of 

children’s sleepwear because no notice 

of requirements had been published 

applicable to the Standards for these 

products. Since this notice provides 

such a notice of requirements, it has the 

effect of lifting the stay with regard to 

16 CFR parts 1615 and 1616. 

II. Accreditation Requirements 

A. Baseline Third Party Conformity 

Assessment Body Accreditation 

Requirements 

For a third party conformity 

assessment body to be accredited to test 

children’s products for conformity with 

the test methods in the regulations 

identified earlier in part I of this 

document, it must be accredited by an 

ILAC–MRA signatory accrediting body, 

and the accreditation must be registered 

with, and accepted by, the Commission. 

A listing of ILAC–MRA signatory 

accrediting bodies is available on the 

Internet at http://ilac.org/

membersbycategory.html. The 

accreditation must be to ISO Standard 

ISO/IEC 17025:2005, General 

Requirements for the Competence of 

Testing and Calibration Laboratories, 

and the scope of the accreditation must 

expressly include testing to the 

regulations in 16 CFR parts 1615 and/ 

or 1616. (A description of the history 

and content of the ILAC–MRA approach 

and of the requirements of the ISO/IEC 

17025:2005 laboratory accreditation 

standard is provided in the CPSC staff 

briefing memorandum, ‘‘Third Party 

Conformity Assessment Body 

Accreditation Requirements for Testing 

Compliance with 16 CFR part 1501 

(Small Parts Regulations),’’ dated 

November 2008, and available on the 

CPSC’s Web site at http://www.cpsc.gov/

ibrary/foia/foia09/brief/smallparts.pdf. 

A true copy, in English, of the 

accreditation and scope documents 

demonstrating compliance with the 

requirements of this notice must be 

registered with the Commission 

electronically. The additional 

requirements for accreditation of 

firewalled and governmental conformity 

assessment bodies are described in parts 

II.B and II.C of this document below. 

The Commission will maintain on its 

Web site an up-to-date listing of the 

third party conformity assessment 

bodies whose accreditations it has 

accepted and the scope of each 

accreditation. Subject to the limited 

provisions for acceptance of 

‘‘retrospective’’ testing noted in part IV 

below, once the Commission adds a 

third party conformity assessment body 

to that list, the third party conformity 

assessment body may commence testing 

of children’s products to support the 

manufacturer’s certification that the 

product complies with the regulations 

identified earlier in part I of this 

document. 

B. Additional Accreditation 

Requirements for Firewalled Conformity 

Assessment Bodies 

In addition to the baseline 

accreditation requirements in part II.A 

of this document above, firewalled 

conformity assessment bodies seeking 

accredited status must submit to the 

Commission copies, in English, of their 

training documents showing how 

employees are trained to notify the 

Commission immediately and 

confidentially of any attempt by the 

manufacturer, private labeler, or other 

interested party to hide or exert undue 

influence over the third party 

conformity assessment body’s test 

results. This additional requirement 

applies to any third party conformity 

assessment body in which a 

manufacturer or private labeler of a 

children’s product to be tested by the 

third party conformity assessment body 

owns an interest of 10 percent or more. 

While the Commission is not addressing 

common parentage of a third party 

conformity assessment body and a 

children’s product manufacturer at this 

time, it will be vigilant to see if this 

issue needs to be addressed in the 

future. 

As required by section 14(f)(2)(D) of 

the CPSA, the Commission must 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
70914 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 223 / Friday, November 19, 2010 / Notices 

formally accept, by order, the 

accreditation application of a third party 

conformity assessment body before the 

third party conformity assessment body 

can become an accredited firewalled 

conformity assessment body. The 

Commission’s order must also find that 

accrediting the firewalled conformity 

assessment body would provide equal 

or greater consumer safety protection 

than the manufacturer’s or private 

labeler’s use of an independent 

conformity assessment body. 

C. Additional Accreditation 

Requirements for Governmental 

Conformity Assessment Bodies 

In addition to the baseline 

accreditation requirements of part II.A 

of this document above, the CPSIA 

permits accreditation of a third party 

conformity assessment body owned or 

controlled, in whole or in part, by a 

government if: 

• To the extent practicable, 

manufacturers or private labelers 

located in any nation are permitted to 

choose conformity assessment bodies 

that are not owned or controlled by the 

government of that nation; 

• The third party conformity 

assessment body’s testing results are not 

subject to undue influence by any other 

person, including another governmental 

entity; 

• The third party conformity 

assessment body is not accorded more 

favorable treatment than other third 

party conformity assessment bodies 

which have been accredited in the same 

nation; 

• The third party conformity 

assessment body’s testing results are 

accorded no greater weight by other 

governmental authorities than those of 

other accredited third party conformity 

assessment bodies; and 

• The third party conformity 

assessment body does not exercise 

undue influence over other 

governmental authorities on matters 

affecting its operations or on decisions 

by other governmental authorities 

controlling distribution of products 

based on outcomes of the third party 

conformity assessment body’s 

conformity assessments. 

The Commission will accept the 

accreditation of a governmental third 

party conformity assessment body if it 

meets the baseline accreditation 

requirements of part II.A of this 

document above and meets the 

additional conditions stated here. To 

obtain this assurance, CPSC staff will 

engage the governmental entities 

relevant to the accreditation request. 

III. How Does a Third Party Conformity 

Assessment Body Apply for Acceptance 

of Its Accreditation? 

The Commission has established an 

electronic accreditation registration and 

acceptance system accessed via the 

Commission’s Internet site at 

http://www.cpsc.gov/about/cpsia/

labaccred.html. The applicant provides, 

in English, basic identifying information 

concerning its location and the type of 

accreditation it is seeking, as well as 

electronic copies of its ILAC–MRA 

accreditation certificate and scope 

statement and its firewalled third party 

conformity assessment body training 

document(s), if applicable. 

Commission staff will review the 

submission for accuracy and 

completeness. In the case of baseline 

third party conformity assessment 

bodies and government-owned or 

government-controlled conformity 

assessment bodies, when that review 

and any necessary discussions with the 

applicant are satisfactorily completed, 

the third party conformity assessment 

body in question is added to the CPSC’s 

list of accredited third party conformity 

assessment bodies at http://

www.cpsc.gov/about/cpsia/

labaccred.html. In the case of a 

firewalled conformity assessment body 

seeking accredited status, when the 

staff’s review is complete, the staff 

transmits its recommendation on 

accreditation to the Commission for 

consideration. (A third party conformity 

assessment body that ultimately may 

seek acceptance as a firewalled third 

party conformity assessment body also 

initially can request acceptance as a 

third party conformity assessment body 

accredited for testing of children’s 

products other than those of its owners.) 

If the Commission accepts a staff 

recommendation to accredit a firewalled 

conformity assessment body, the 

Commission will issue an order making 

the required statutory findings, and the 

firewalled conformity assessment body 

then will be added to the CPSC’s list of 

accredited third party conformity 

assessment bodies. In each case, the 

Commission will notify the third party 

conformity assessment body 

electronically of acceptance of its 

accreditation. All information to 

support an accreditation acceptance 

request must be provided in the English 

language. 

Subject to the limited provisions for 

acceptance of ‘‘retrospective’’ testing 

noted in part IV of this document below, 

once the Commission adds a third party 

conformity assessment body to the list, 

the third party conformity assessment 

body may begin testing of children’s 

products to support certification of 

compliance with the regulations for 

which it has been accredited. 

IV. Limited Acceptance of Children’s 

Product Certifications Based on Third 

Party Conformity Assessment Body 

Testing Prior to the Commission’s 

Acceptance of Accreditation 

The Commission will accept a 

certificate of compliance with 16 CFR 

part 1615 and/or 16 CFR part 1616 

based on testing performed by an 

accredited third party conformity 

assessment body (including a 

government-owned or governmentcontrolled conformity assessment body, 

or a firewalled conformity assessment 

body) prior to the Commission’s 

acceptance of its accreditation if all the 

following conditions are met: 

• When the product was tested, the 

testing was done by a third party 

conformity assessment body that at that 

time was ISO/IEC 17025 accredited by 

an ILAC–MRA signatory and the scope 

of the accreditation included the 

regulations specified in this notice. For 

firewalled conformity assessment 

bodies, the Commission will not accept 

a certificate of compliance based on 

testing performed by the third party 

conformity assessment body unless the 

firewalled conformity assessment body 

was accredited by order as a firewalled 

conformity assessment body before the 

product was tested, even though the 

order will not have included the test 

methods in the regulations specified in 

this notice. 

• The third party conformity 

assessment body’s application for 

testing using the test methods in the 

regulations identified in this notice is 

accepted by the CPSC on or before 

January 18, 2011. 

• The product was tested on or after 

November 19, 2009, with respect to the 

regulations identified in this notice.
