Intertek Helps Ensure Children's Products Meet New CPSIA Lead Limits

Effective August 14, 2011, children's products marketed and sold in the U.S. must comply with the new, reduced lead content limit of 100 parts per million (ppm), as set forth in the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA). Manufacturers, retailers and importers will need to ensure their regulated products are in compliance or they could face monetary fines or removal of their products from the market. Intertek, a leading provider of quality and safety solutions serving a wide range of industries, offers comprehensive CPSIA services to help manufacturers, retailers and importers identify compliance requirements and conduct required testing.
