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.

As a manufacturer of children's products, ensuring safety and compliance is crucial, especially in the growing consumer-to-manufacturer (C2M) market. With the direct connection to consumers online, it's essential to maintain high standards for safety and quality to meet both regulatory requirements and parental expectations.
In early 2024, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) proposed significant updates to enhance product safety, including mandatory electronic filing of Certificates of Compliance for all imported CPSC-regulated products, broadening the definition of "importer" to include a wider range of stakeholders, and introducing detailed requirements for certificate content alongside a new five-year record retention period. Aimed at ensuring products entering the U.S. market meet safety standards, these changes emphasize accountability across the supply chain and enhance the CPSC's ability to monitor compliance. To navigate these complex regulations, Materials Analytical Services (MAS), a premier U.S.-based analytical and technical assistance laboratory, offers its expertise in product testing and compliance, providing essential support to companies aiming to meet these rigorous safety standards and protect consumer well-being.
Under the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act (MoCRA) of 2022, FDA’s authority has been expanded with a focus on the safety of cosmetic products. This includes a requirement for the registration of facilities that manufacture or process cosmetic products distributed in the U.S. (with certain exceptions), and identifying a responsible person charged with meeting the requirements of the regulation as the manufacturer, packer or distributor, whose name appears on the cosmetic product label.
