CPSC certification ＆ CPSIA
The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) is the toughest consumer protection bill created since the inception of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
The CPSIA can be divided into two main parts, the first part is the provisions for consumer product safety, and the second part is the legal provisions for reforming and strengthening the U.S. CPSC.
