General Description of Collection: The
Consumer Product Safety Improvement
Act of 2008 (CPSIA) requires third party
testing be conducted by a third party
conformity assessment body for any
children’s product, that is subject to a
children’s product safety rule, before
importing for consumption or
warehousing or distributing in
commerce. The CPSIA allows
accreditation of third party conformity
assessment bodies to be conducted
either by the Commission or by an
independent accreditation organization
designated by the Commission, and
requires that the Commission maintain
on its website an up-to-date list of
entities that have been accredited to
assess conformity with children’s
product safety rules. With the exception
of firewalled third party conformity
assessment bodies, the Commission has
chosen to accept the accreditation of
third party conformity assessment
bodies that meet accreditation
requirements of an independent
accreditation organization.
To assess a third party conformity
assessment body’s qualifications for
acceptance by CPSC, information
related to location, accreditation, and
ownership must be collected from third
party conformity assessment bodies.
The CPSC uses an online collection
form, CPSC Form 223, to gather
information from third party conformity
assessment bodies voluntarily seeking
acceptance by CPSC. The information
collected relates to location,
accreditation, and ownership. The
Commission staff uses this information
to assess:
• A third party conformity
assessment body’s status as either an
independent third party conformity
assessment body, a government-owned
or government-controlled conformity
assessment body, or a firewalled
conformity assessment body;
• Qualifications for acceptance by
CPSC to test for compliance to specified
children’s product safety rules; and
• Eligibility for acceptance on the
CPSC website.
Part 1112 requires the collection of
information in CPSC Form 223:
• Upon initial application by the
third party conformity assessment body
for acceptance by CPSC;
• Whenever there is a change to
accreditation or ownership information;
and
• At least every 2 years as part of a
regular audit process.
Estimated Burden: The CPSC
estimates the burden of the collection of
information in CPSC Form 223 is as
follows:

These estimates are based on the
following information:
• Based on applications received
from FY 2013 to date, we estimate the
number of third party conformity
assessment bodies who would register
initially each year for the next three
years would be 40.
• Under 16 CFR part 1112, third party
conformity assessment bodies are
required to resubmit CPSC Form 223
every two years. As all third party
conformity assessment bodies have not
submitted their first CPSC Form 223s at
the same time, only about half would be
expected to resubmit a CPSC Form 223
in any 1 year. As of
• August 2019, 581 third party
conformity assessment bodies have
registered with CPSC. Approximately
half (291) of these firms would be
required to re-register with CPSC each
year.
• Under 16 CFR part 1112, third party
conformity assessment bodies are
required to ensure that the information
submitted on CPSC Form 223 is current
and to submit a new CPSC Form 223
whenever the information changes.
Based on current experience with third
party conformity assessment bodies, we
estimate that two third party conformity
assessment bodies will make revisions
per year to update their information. A
change in information is a change that
does not require review of laboratory
accreditation documents, such as scope
or test methods. Examples of revised
information include changes in the
website URL, name of the laboratory,
and name of point of contact.
The total burden, therefore, is 332.5
hours, which we will round up to 333
hours. We estimate that hourly
compensation for the time required for
recordkeeping is $34.61 per hour (U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics, ‘‘Employer
Costs for Employee Compensation,’’
Table 9, total compensation for sales,
office, and related workers in goodsproducing industries, March 2019:
https://www.bls.gov/ect/data.htm). The
total cost burden to the respondents is
approximately $11,525 ($34.61 × 333
hours = $11,525).
