We all know how challenging it is to navigate through ever-changing product-safety compliance regulations.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

With escalating concern for product safety and compliance in our industry, there couldn\u2019t be a better time to announce that ASI \u2013\u00a0in conjunction with our Safety and Legislative Advisory Board \u2013\u00a0has selected Intertek as its exclusive partner for product quality and safety solutions. And, ASI has negotiated a preferential rate for members to save 20% on all services related to safety testing and compliance.<\/p>\n

Just this week, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) extended the enforcement date for testing of lead content in children\u2019s products to December 31. That means U.S manufacturers will be required to have CPSC-approved third-party certification for children\u2019s items to prove that products they produce or import contain no more than the allowable limit of lead.<\/p>\n

So even though there\u2019s more time to meet that one requirement, federal restrictions governing manufacturers and importers will change once again in August.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We gave a lot of thought to this issue and worked closely with the ASI Safety and Legislative Advisory Board\u00a0before selecting Intertek, the accredited world leader in testing, auditing, inspection and certification of consumer goods across all product lines. \u00a0How will Intertek benefit your company?
