SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

I. Background
On July 20, 2011, the Commission
voted to approve publication of a
‘‘notice of requirements’’ that would
establish the criteria and process for the
CPSC’s acceptance of accreditation of
third party conformity assessment
bodies (commonly referred to as
‘‘laboratories’’) for testing, pursuant to
ASTM International’s (formerly the
American Society for Testing and
Materials) (‘‘ASTM’’) Standard
Consumer Safety Specification for Toy
Safety, F 963–08 (‘‘ASTM F 963–08’’),
and section 4.27 (toy chests) from
ASTM International’s F 963–07e1
version of the standard (‘‘ASTM F 963–
07e1’’). (For simplicity, we will refer to
both standards as the ‘‘toy safety
standard’’).
The issuance of the ‘‘notice of
requirements’’ by the Commission
means that manufacturers of children’s
toys must ensure that covered toys are
tested for compliance with the toy safety
standard by an accredited third party
laboratory whose accreditation is
accepted by the CPSC. The ‘‘notice of
requirements’’ also means that based on
the results of the third party testing, toy
manufacturers must issue a written
children’s product certificate that
certifies the compliance of each covered
toy to the toy safety standard. The
Commission will enforce these third
party testing and certification
requirements beginning with those
covered toys manufactured after
December 31, 2011.
Given the likely impact on those who
manufacture or import toys that are
covered by the toy safety standard, we
believe that it is important to engage in
a strategic outreach and education plan
to the business community and other
stakeholders. An effective outreach and

PO 00000

Frm 00059

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

education plan will target the affected
group of stakeholders and give the small
business community and other
stakeholders clear and detailed
information to enable them to plan and
act accordingly and make more
informed and timely business decisions.
This notice describes our outreach
and education plan. We intend to make
information on our plan and on the toy
safety standard available at: http://
www.cpsc.gov/toysafety by September
30, 2011.
We envision three stages for this
strategic outreach and education plan:
• Stage 1 will inform stakeholders
generally about the need to test and
certify to the toy safety standard. We
plan to use traditional and social media
to communicate the toy safety
requirements and the effective
compliance date of January 1, 2012. In
addition, staff will target relevant trade
publications, industry organizations,
consumer groups, and others to ensure
that the communications message is
disseminated widely and to solicit
additional outreach ideas and targets.
The Small Business Ombudsman will
publish a plain English guide on the
requirements. Additionally, we hope
that the publication of this document in
the Federal Register may elicit
additional suggestions and ideas.
• Stage 2 will provide detailed
‘‘Frequently Asked Questions’’
(‘‘FAQs’’) and examples so that
stakeholders can better understand the
requirements and staff’s interpretations
of certain provisions before the
requirements go into effect. We believe
that issuing FAQs in a timely fashion
will allow the small business
community and other stakeholders to
plan and act accordingly to make more
informed and timely business decisions.
Traditionally, we have used FAQs as a
means of explaining new regulations
and requirements; however, we are also
exploring other means of illustrating the
toy safety requirements, such as
instructional videos and webinars.
• Stage 3 will begin after we have
developed the materials to educate
stakeholders. We will target our ongoing
education campaign efforts to promote
higher rates of compliance with the toy
standard and the testing and
certification requirements. We will
attend industry trade shows, as funding
permits, and make presentations about
the new requirements. In addition, we
will attend international meetings,
conferences, trade shows, and other
public forums, as funding permits,
where we will speak about the new
requirements and serve as a resource for
companies seeking additional
information. Because many small
