SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

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 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 the importer) 

or private labeler of products subject to 

those regulations must have products 

that are manufactured more than 90 

days after the Federal Register 

publication date 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. 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., 

section 14(h) of the CPSA, as added by 

section 102(b) of the CPSIA). 

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 

can be found in part IV of this document 

below. 

This notice provides the criteria and 

process for Commission acceptance of 

accreditation of third party conformity 

assessment bodies for testing pursuant 

to the following test methods: 

• The test methods for electrically 

operated toys or other electrically 

operated articles intended for use by 

children at 16 CFR Part 1505, 

Requirements for Electrically Operated 

Toys or Other Electrically Operated 

Articles Intended for Use By Children. 

• The test method for clacker balls at 

16 CFR 1500.86(a)(5), Exemptions From 

Classification as a Banned Toy or Other 

Banned Article for use by Children. 

Although section 14(a)(3)(B)(vi) of the 

CPSA directs the CPSC to publish a 

notice of requirements for accreditation 

of third party conformity assessment 

bodies to assess conformity with ‘‘all 

other children’s product safety rules,’’ 

this notice of requirements is limited to 

the test methods identified immediately 

above. 

The CPSC also recognizes that section 

14(a)(3)(B)(vi) of the CPSA is captioned 

as ‘‘All Other Children’s Product Safety 

Rules,’’ but the body of the statutory 

requirement refers only to ‘‘other 

children’s product safety rules.’’ 

Nevertheless, section 14(a)(3)(B)(vi) of 

the CPSA could be construed as 

requiring a notice of requirements for 

‘‘all’’ other children’s product safety 

rules, rather than a notice of 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with NOTICES_PART 1
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 83 / Friday, April 30, 2010 / Notices 22747 

requirements for ‘‘some’’ or ‘‘certain’’ 

children’s product safety rules. 

However, whether a particular rule 

represents a ‘‘children’s product safety 

rule’’ may be subject to interpretation, 

and the Commission staff is continuing 

to evaluate which rules, regulations, 

standards, or bans are ‘‘children’s 

product safety rules.’’ The CPSC intends 

to issue additional notices of 

requirements for other rules which the 

Commission determines to be 

‘‘children’s product safety rules.’’ 

This notice of requirements applies to 

all third party conformity assessment 

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

the CPSA. Generally speaking, such 

third party conformity assessment 

bodies are: (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. 

The Commission requires baseline 

accreditation of each category of third 

party conformity assessment body to the 

International Organization for 

Standardization (ISO)/International 

Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 

Standard 17025:2005, ‘‘General 

Requirements for the Competence of 

Testing and Calibration Laboratories.’’ 

The accreditation must be by an 

accreditation body that is a signatory to 

the International Laboratory 

Accreditation Cooperation-Mutual 

Recognition Arrangement (ILAC–MRA), 

and the scope of the accreditation must 

include testing for any of the test 

methods identified earlier in part I of 

this document for which the third party 

conformity assessment body seeks to be 

accredited. 

(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/ 

library/foia/foia09/brief/smallparts.pdf.) 

The Commission has established an 

electronic accreditation registration and 

listing system that can be accessed via 

its Web site at http://www.cpsc.gov/ 

ABOUT/Cpsia/labaccred.html. 

The Commission notes that in the 

Federal Register of February 9, 2009 (74 

FR 6396), the Commission announced a 

stay of enforcement of certain 

provisions of section 14(a) of the CPSA; 

the stay applied to the testing that 

would result from this notice of 

requirements. On December 28, 2009, 

the Commission published a notice in 

the Federal Register (74 FR 68588) 

revising the terms of the stay. One 

section of the December 28, 2009 notice 

addressed ‘‘Consumer Products or 

Children’s Products Where the 

Commission Is Continuing the Stay of 

Enforcement Until Further Notice,’’ due 

to factors such as pending rulemaking 

proceedings affecting the product or the 

absence of a notice of requirements. The 

testing requirements contained in the 

regulations at 16 CFR Part 1505 and 16 

CFR 1500.86(a)(5) were included in that 

section of the December 28, 2009 notice. 

As the factor preventing the stay from 

being lifted in the December 28, 2009 

notice with regard to testing and 

certifications related to 16 CFR part 

1505 and/or 16 CFR 1500.86(a)(5) was 

the absence of a notice of requirements, 

publication of this notice has the effect 

of lifting the stay with regard to these 

CPSC regulations. 

This notice of requirements is 

effective on April 30, 2010. Further, as 

the publication of this notice of 

requirements effectively lifts the stay of 

enforcement with regard to testing and 

certifications related to 16 CFR part 

1505 and/or 16 CFR 1500.86(a)(5), each 

manufacturer (including the importer) 

or private labeler of a product subject to 

16 CFR part 1505 and/or 16 CFR 

1500.86(a)(5), must have any such 

product manufactured after July 29, 

2010 tested by a third party conformity 

assessment body accredited to do so and 

must issue a certificate of compliance 

with 16 CFR part 1505 and/or 16 CFR 

1500.86(a)(5) based on that testing. 

This notice of requirements is exempt 

from the notice and comment 

rulemaking requirements of the 

Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 

553 (see section 14(a)(3)(G) of the CPSA, 

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

CPSIA (15 U.S.C. 2063(a)(3)(G))). 

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 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 test 

method for clacker balls included in 16 

CFR 1500.86(a)(5), Exemptions from 

classification as a banned toy or other 

banned article for use by children, and/ 

or the test methods for electrically 

operated toys or other electrically 

operated articles intended for use by 

children described in 16 CFR part 1505, 

Requirements for Electrically Operated 

Toys or Other Electrically Operated 

Articles Intended for Use By Children. A 

true copy, in English, of the 

accreditation and scope documents 

demonstrating compliance with these 

requirements 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 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 

certification by the manufacturer or 

private labeler of compliance with the 

test methods 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 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with NOTICES_PART 1
22748 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 83 / Friday, April 30, 2010 / Notices 

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 ten 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 

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. 

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 in 

the same nation who have been 

accredited; 

• 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 acceptance and 

registration 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, the type of 

accreditation it is seeking, and 

electronic copies of its ILAC–MRA 

accreditation certificate and scope 

statement, and firewalled third party 

conformity assessment body training 

document(s), if relevant. 

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-operated 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 may ultimately 

seek acceptance as a firewalled third 

party conformity assessment body also 

can initially 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 

firewalled conformity assessment body 

will then 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 then begin testing of 

children’s products to support 

certification of compliance with the 

regulations identified earlier in part I of 

this document 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 the 

standards for clacker balls included in 

16 CFR 1500.86(a)(5), Exemptions from 

classification as a banned toy or other 

banned article for use by children, and/ 

or the standards for electrically operated 

toys or other electrically operated 

articles intended for use by children 

described in 16 CFR part 1505, 

Requirements for Electrically Operated 

Toys or Other Electrically Operated 

Articles Intended for Use By Children, 

based on testing performed by an 

accredited third party conformity 

assessment body (including a 

government-owned or -controlled 

conformity assessment body, and a 

firewalled conformity assessment body) 

prior to the Commission’s acceptance of 

its accreditation if: 

• At the time of product testing, the 

product was tested by a third party 

conformity assessment body that was 

ISO/IEC 17025 accredited by an ILAC– 

MRA member at the time of the test. For 

firewalled conformity assessment 

bodies, the firewalled conformity 

assessment body must be one that the 

Commission accredited by order at or 

before the time the product was tested, 

even though the order will not have 

included the test methods specified in 

this notice. If the third party conformity 

assessment body has not been 

accredited by a Commission order as a 

firewalled conformity assessment body, 

the Commission will not accept a 

certificate of compliance based on 

testing performed by the third party 

conformity assessment body before it is 

accredited, by Commission order, as a 

firewalled conformity assessment body.
