A second rule, "Conditions and Requirements for Relying on Component Part Testing or Certification, or Another Party's Finished Product Testing or Certification, to Meeting Testing and Certification Requirements," also passed by a 3-2 vote on Thursday. This provision would allow manufacturers, importers and private labelers to utilize testing and compliance materials from component manufacturers in order to meet the CPSC's testing requirements, provided that the component manufacturers' testing adheres to the aforementioned regulations.
