Recently, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) for the formal adoption of a new phthalate (phthalates) third-party testing and certification requirements to ensure that children's toys and childcare products meet U.S. federal requirements phthalates limit, the request will be held on 31 December this year, came into effect this point, children's toys and care products in the lead, phthalates, and electrical, thermal, mechanical and other safety standards, have made clear from the next year, only through CPSC approved third-party laboratory testing and issue a certificate, the product can be sold in the United States.

Third-party testing and certification requirements restrict the use of children's products category includes phthalates and lead children's toys and care products, including ASTM child safety standards for toys under the regulation of toys, baby walker, all-terrain vehicles, children with bicycles, children's pajamas, etc. According to the United States' Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 "provides a permanent ban toys and child care products of three phthalates substance DEHP, DBP, BBP use of greater than 0.1%; temporary provides for children to suck, chew toys and child care products, the other three phthalates substances DINP, DIDP, DNOP concentration of not more than 0.1% after the U.S. CPSC on the market of toys and children's products lead content is limited to 100ppm, from August 14 this year began, while toy testing mandatory standards are developed according to ASTM F963.

Children's products in third-party testing and certification requirements developed in 2008 when the Consumer Product Safety Act had already been made, due to manufacturers, importers and other stakeholders of the strong demand, the execution time-delayed, to some extent to the relevant Chinese export enterprises the "thunder and no rain," the illusion, while the mandatory implementation date to determine that the implementation of the measures CPSC's decision remains unchanged, and is gaining momentum.

Mandatory third party testing and certification will result in the increased cost of U.S. export, more difficult, therefore, inspection and quarantine departments to remind the relevant enterprises in the remaining few months of adjustment period, the company should continue to strengthen their green environmental awareness and develop new technologies with the bear in the new standards, to confirm the product's chemical content restrictions, and other safety requirements of the exporting country has been reached, non-conforming product ready for upgrades and improvements; exports well before the monitoring and certification seek credible, third-party testing organization technologically advanced, if necessary contact with the local inspection and quarantine departments to seek a breakthrough in technical difficulties. relevant government departments should actively create conditions to lead more Chinese recognized testing organizations successfully become the first U.S. three testing agencies, to products successfully exported to the U.S. to provide more convenient.
