- The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) requires that every children’s product subject to a federal consumer product safety requirement be tested by a Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) accepted laboratory for compliance with the applicable federal children’s product safety requirements. Accreditation by A2LA does not infer acceptance by the CPSC. Please verify this organization’s acceptance status by using the CPSC’s searchable database, located at http://www.cpsc.gov/cgi-bin/labsearch/.
- In-house method using modified ASTM E2594.
- This laboratory’s scope contains withdrawn or superseded methods. As a clarifier, this indicates that the applicable method itself has been withdrawn or is now considered “historical” and not that the laboratory’s accreditation for the method has been withdrawn.
