United States CPSC

/in /by

The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has proposed a rule that would make certain plastics exempt in children’s toys from third-party phthalate testing.

 

Six phthalates under the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act are prohibited in concentrations that are above 0.1% in accessible parts of various children’s products.

 

These substances include:

 

 

    • DEHP

 

    • BBP

 

    • DBP

 

    • DIDP

 

    • DINP

 

    • DnOP

 

 

Third-party testing must be conducted before products containing these substances are placed on the market.

 

Comments on the proposed ruling will be accepted until the 31st of September.
