Description

Notice of proposed rulemaking - The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) mandates that ASTM F963 shall be a mandatory toy safety standard. This toy safety standard sets forth only minimal labeling requirements for aquatic toys such as neck floats. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC or Commission) proposes to establish new performance and revised labeling requirements to address potentially deadly hazards associated with neck floats. The Commission also proposes to amend CPSC's list of notice of requirements (NORs) to include neck floats.Section V of the NPR preamble summarizes the provisions of ANSI/CAN/UL 12402-9, ANSI APSP ICC-16, ASTM F833-21, ASTM F1967-19 and ANSI/NEMA Z535.4-2023 that the Commission proposes to incorporate by reference into proposed (16 CFR) § 1250.5. The standards are reasonably available to interested parties by permission of the relevant standards developing organization (SDO) to be viewed as a read-only document during the comment period, at:https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DQVJYMKforANSI/CAN/UL 12402-9, https://codes.iccsafe.org/content/ANSIAPSPICC162017/title-page for ANSI APSP ICC-16, https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DQVJYMKforANSI/NEMA Z535.4-2023, https://www.astm.org/products-services/reading-room.html for ASTM F833-21, and https://www.astm.org/products-services/reading-room.html for ASTM F1967-19
