Understanding 16 CFR Part 1307: How MAS Ensures Compliance with Phthalate Regulations and Lead Testing

Certified Laboratory Solutions for Regulatory Compliance

Why Compliance with 16 CFR Part 1307 and Lead Testing Matters


Phthalates and lead pose significant risks in children's products. Compliance with 16 CFR Part 1307 ensures limited use of hazardous phthalates, while lead testing is critical for meeting CPSC safety standards. Lead testing is especially important for manufacturers of toys and child care articles, as even trace amounts of lead can result in regulatory action and severe public safety concerns. MAS testing solutions, including CPSC-CH-C1001-09.4 for phthalates and advanced lead testing to help manufacturers ensure their products are safe and compliant with all regulations.
