WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) voted (3-2) that there was insufficient evidence to make a determination that manufacturers of children's products sold in the United States could not meet a total lead content limit of 100 parts per million (ppm) for a product or product category. The new total lead content limit, which is called for in the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA), goes into effect on August 14, 2011 for manufacturers, importers, retailers and distributors of children's products.

* w0 Q, g! B" v' L* gThrough the CPSIA, Congress set tough new levels for lead content in products designed or primarily intended for children 12 and younger. Lead is a heavy metal that is toxic for children, and associated with lowered levels of learning, impaired hearing, brain damage and, at high levels, can be fatal.

Congress directed CPSC to phase in the reduced levels for lead content over a three year period, starting with 600 ppm on February 10, 2009. The level dropped to 300 ppm on August 14, 2009. Finally, Congress directed the total lead content limit be set at 100 ppm, unless the Commission determined it was not technologically feasible for a product or product category.
+ G" d: Q; v$ z) n
The Commission was not able to determine that 100 ppm total lead content is not technologically feasible, as staff found that materials containing less than 100 ppm total lead content are commercially available in the marketplace for manufacturers. CPSC staff also found many products currently on the market, that have been tested by CPSC or other organizations, that are already in compliance with the new 100 ppm total lead content limit.
; @4 N) V" S& K0 @; |9 a3 T3 t2 E8 m
Starting on August 14, 2011, manufacturers, importers, retailers and distributors of children's products must comply with the new 100 ppm federal limit for total lead content. CPSC will not enforce the CPSIA's independent third party testing requirement for total lead content until December 31, 2011, due to a stay of enforcement that is already in place.
1 }& Q$ \9 u5 J
  u2 }9 ~3 ]" W4 w! yThe stay of enforcement does not apply to children's metal jewelry, which currently must undergo independent third party testing.

The new 100 ppm lead content limit does not apply to inaccessible (internal) parts of children's products and certain component parts of children's electronic devices, like electronic connectors and plugs, including headphone plugs.

: e0 b: w# o' X8 p6 jLead content levels for children's products are different from the levels Congress set for lead in paint or surface coatings. The limit for lead in paint or surface coatings is .009 percent. The .009 percent level has been in place since August 14, 2009 and independent third party testing is required for all paints or surfaces coatings used on children's products.

  [s:3] 儿童用品标准要求有变化，尤其收紧的时候，SGS, BV 等测试机构就发大财鸟。
不过深入地去看， 这些标准都是瞎掰，它的前提是美国孩子都是白痴，什么都放嘴里，而家长的责任是零。

不管怎么说，现在还处在美国采购商在强势，国内生产商在弱势的情况，还得依着新要求改变

100ppm,我不知道是不是真的收集了所有供应商的信息，我也不是很确信所有的供应商都能做到这个标准，我们就有几单不行，哎

100ppm还是比较容易满足的，很多企业现在要求30ppm
