Network of SGS CPSIA Accredited Laboratories is Best in Field
CPSIA legislation in the United States requires that both manufacturers and importers adhere to stringent standards when it comes to the safety and regulatory compliance of consumer products, especially those targeted for the children’s market. Testing and certification standards have never been higher, with lead and phthalate levels in particular, being subject to more rigorous regulation.
THE BEST-IN-CLASS NETWORK OF CPSIA ACCREDITED LABS(firmenpresse) - On August 14, 2008, the President of the United States signed legislation that reformed the laws and regulations of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) governing all consumer products sold in the U.S. This legislation, called the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA), is the most important revision to the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA) since the CPSC’s formation in 1972.
Manufacturers must understand how CPSIA legislation (http://www.cpsc.gov/cpsia.pdf ) applies to their products, the complexities of how the CPSC will interpret and enforce it, how their competitors intend to comply, how their customers will require them to comply, and how to document their product compliance.
SGS offers a comprehensive range of services designed to assist manufacturers and importers with ensuring their products comply with the requirements of the CPSIA. The following accredited SGS laboratories (http://www.hardlines.sgs.com/consumerproducts/hot-regulatory-topics/cpsia-hardlines-information-request/sgs-cpsia-accredited-labs-hardlines.htm) are approved by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) for various aspects of CPSIA testing and certification:
In the Americas, SGS maintains laboratories within the U.S. (Fairfield, NJ &Tulsa, OK) and Brazil (Santos).
