Section 104(b) of the Consumer Product
Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA), Public Law 110-314, 122
Stat. 3016 (August 14, 2008), requires the Consumer Product Safety
Commission (“Commission” or “CPSC”) to promulgate consumer product
safety standards for durable infant or toddler products. These
standards are to be “substantially the same as” applicable
voluntary standards or more stringent than the voluntary standard
if the Commission concludes that more stringent requirements would
further reduce the risk of injury associated with the product.
“[G]ates and other enclosures for confining a child” were
specifically mentioned as a durable infant or toddler product in
section 104(f)(2). The Commission is proposing a safety standard
for gates and enclosures incorporating by reference the voluntary
standard for gates and enclosures issued by ASTM International,
ASTM F1004-19, with no modifications.
