The United States postpones the “new rules” for testing some imported products
On January 30, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a resolution to suspend the implementation of some testing and general certificate of conformity (GCC) requirements of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) for one year, that is, to postpone it to February 10, 2010. day, and was reinstated after a re-vote by the committee. The suspension will allow manufacturers and importers of consumer goods, especially children’s clothing and toy manufacturers, to temporarily and restrictively relax higher-standard testing and certification requirements.
The regulation was suddenly announced to be postponed for one year before the implementation deadline. This is good news for light textile companies exporting to the United States, and can temporarily reduce the pressure on corporate certification and testing. However, the inspection and quarantine department reminded relevant enterprises not to take it lightly, and suggested that light textile export enterprises to the United States should take a long-term perspective and take measures from four aspects to prepare for the new regulations in advance:
First, enterprises should proactively communicate with foreign importers to understand whether export products fall within the scope of exemptions specified in the suspension resolution, and pay close attention to the specific details of the mandatory testing schedule and approval procedures for certain consumer products that are not exempted from the suspension resolution. Second, enterprises should become familiar with the safety performance and other mandatory standard requirements of textiles exported to the United States as soon as possible, and learn more about accredited laboratories with testing qualifications and corresponding testing standards and testing projects to ensure that after the new testing and certification link is officially launched, The products can also be exported smoothly; third, export clothing and toy manufacturers must not only strictly control the appearance quality, but also pay attention to the intrinsic quality of the products. They should strengthen the inspection of safety and health items, and choose high-integrity products when purchasing fabrics and raw and auxiliary materials. , large-scale, complete testing methods, and powerful suppliers should control the raw materials entering the factory from the source; fourth, they should closely follow the trends of international technical standards, keep abreast of updates and changes in relevant laws and regulations of the importing country, and effectively avoid risks. Avoid blindly expanding export quantities. In addition to focusing on market diversification and product personalization, companies must also work hard on improving quality and design innovation to increase product added value.
