CPSC Launches Small Batch Manufacturer Registry

Playthings Staff -- Gifts and Dec, 1/3/2012 2:53:42 PM

Washington, DC - The U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) is launching a registry for small batch manufacturers at www.SaferProducts.gov.
Manufacturers who earned $1 million or less in total gross revenues from sales of consumer products in 2011, and who produced no more than 7,500 units of at least one consumer product in 2011, can register for calendar year 2012.
Qualifying small batch manufacturers are not required to third party test for compliance with certain children's product safety rules during 2012 for products which they produced no more than 7,500 units of in the previous calendar year.
Small batch manufacturers must still provide a certificate of conformity, in which the manufacturers certify in writing that their products comply with the applicable regulations. However, except where required by law, the certificate does not have to be based on third party testing.
For more information for small batch manufacturers, visit www.cpsc.gov/smallbatch or contact small business ombudsman Neal Cohen at ncohen@cpsc.gov or through www.cpsc.gov/sbo.
