CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY 

COMMISSION 

16 CFR Parts 1220 and 1221 

[Docket No. CPSC–2024–0034] 

Revision to the Voluntary Standard for 

Non-Full-Size Baby Cribs and Play 

Yards 

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice of revised standard; 

request for comments. 

SUMMARY: Two of the U.S. Consumer 

Product Safety Commission’s 

(Commission or CPSC) mandatory rules, 

Safety Standard for Non-Full-Size Baby 

Cribs and Safety Standard for Play 

Yards, incorporate by reference the 

same voluntary standard, ASTM F406, 

Standard Consumer Safety 

Specification for Non-Full-Size Baby 

Cribs/Play Yards. The Safety Standard 

for Non-Full-Size Baby Cribs 

incorporates the 2022 version of ASTM 

F406, and the Safety Standard for Play 

Yards incorporates the 2019 version of 

ASTM F406. ASTM notified the 

Commission that it has revised ASTM 

F406 and published ASTM F406–2024. 

CPSC seeks comment on whether 

adopting the revised voluntary standard 

would improve the safety of non-fullsize cribs and/or play yards.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

104(b) of the Consumer Product Safety 

Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) 

requires the Commission to adopt 

mandatory standards for durable infant 

or toddler products. 15 U.S.C. 

2056a(b)(1). Mandatory standards must 

be ‘‘substantially the same as’’ voluntary 

standards, or they may be ‘‘more 

stringent’’ than the applicable voluntary 

standards, if the Commission 

determines that more stringent 

requirements would further reduce the 

risk of injury associated with the 

products. Id. Mandatory standards may 

be based, in whole or in part, on a 

voluntary standard. 

Section 104(b)(4)(B) of the CPSIA 

specifies the process for when a 

voluntary standards organization revises 

a standard that the Commission 

incorporated by reference under section 

104(b)(1). First, the voluntary standards 

organization must notify the 

Commission of the revision. Once the 

Commission receives this notification, 

the Commission may reject or accept the 

revised standard. To reject a revised 

standard, the Commission must notify 

the voluntary standards organization 

within 90 days of receiving the notice of 

revision that the Commission has 

determined that the revised standard 

does not improve the safety of the 

consumer product and that CPSC is 

retaining the existing standard. If the 

Commission does not take this action, 

the revised voluntary standard will be 

considered a consumer product safety 

standard issued under section 9 of the 

Consumer Product Safety Act (15 U.S.C. 

2058), effective 180 days after the 

Commission received notification of the 

revision (or a later date specified by the 

Commission in the Federal Register). 15 

U.S.C. 2056a(b)(4)(B). 

Under this authority, the Commission 

issued two mandatory safety rules that 

incorporate by reference applicable 

provisions of ASTM F406: Safety 

Standard for Non-Full-Size Baby Cribs, 

codified at 16 CFR part 1220 (75 FR 

81787, Dec. 28, 2010), and Safety 

Standard for Play Yards, codified at 16 

CFR part 1221 (77 FR 52228, Aug. 29, 

2012). These mandatory standards 

include performance requirements and 

test methods, as well as requirements 

for warning labels and instructions, to 

address hazards to children. After the 

Commission’s promulgation of these 

final rules, ASTM published several 

revisions to ASTM F406 that the 

Commission considered for 

incorporation by reference in the 

mandatory rules, parts 1220 and 1221. 

Most recently, in 2023, the Commission 

revised the non-full-size (NFS) cribs 

mandatory standard to incorporate by 

reference ASTM F406–2022, but 

rejected ASTM F406–2022 as it applied

to play yards. 88 FR 13686 (Mar. 6, 

2023) (NFS cribs); March 2, 2023, Letter 

to K. Morgan, President, ASTM 

International (play yards).1 Accordingly, 

the NFS cribs mandatory rule currently 

incorporates the 2022 version of ASTM 

F406 and the play yard mandatory rule 

currently incorporates the 2019 version 

of ASTM F406. 

On October 7, 2024, ASTM notified 

the Commission that it had approved 

and published another revised version 

of the voluntary standard, ASTM F406– 

2024. CPSC staff is assessing the revised 

voluntary standard to determine, 

consistent with section 104(b)(4)(B) of 

the CPSIA, its effect on the safety of 

NFS cribs subject to 16 CFR part 1220, 

and, separately, the safety of play yards 

subject to 16 CFR part 1221. The 

Commission invites public comment on 

those questions to inform staff’s 

assessment and subsequent Commission 

consideration of the revisions in ASTM 

F406–2024.2

The currently incorporated voluntary 

standards (ASTM F406–2019 and ASTM 

F406–2022) and the revised voluntary 

standard (ASTM F406–2024) are 

available for review in several ways. A 

read-only copy of the existing, 

incorporated standards are available for 

viewing, at no cost, on the ASTM 

website at: https://www.astm.org/ 

READINGLIBRARY/. A read-only copy 

of the revised standard (ASTM F406– 

2024), including red-lined versions that 

identify the changes from the 2019 and 

2022 versions to the 2024 version, are 

available, at no cost, on ASTM’s website 

at: https://www.astm.org/CPSC.htm. 

Interested parties can also download 

copies of the standards by purchasing 

them from ASTM International, 100 

Barr Harbor Drive, P.O. Box C700, West 

Conshohocken, PA 19428–2959; phone: 

610–832–9585; https://www.astm.org. 

Alternatively, interested parties can 

schedule an appointment to inspect 

copies of the standards at CPSC’s Office 

of the Secretary, U.S. Consumer Product 

Safety Commission, 4330 East-West 

Highway, Bethesda, MD 20814, 

telephone: 301–504–7479. 

Comments must be received by 

November 8, 2024. Because of the short 

statutory time frame Congress 

established for the Commission to 

consider revised voluntary standards 

under section 104(b)(4) of the CPSIA, 

CPSC will not consider comments 

received after this date.
