CPSIA was formulated at the end of last year, and its content is extensive. There are regulations on the content standards of different restricted substances, especially lead and ortho benzene two formate are the key points.

At this meeting, the Mary F F Toro of the US consumer product safety committee emphasized that the content of lead in pigments or other similar surface coatings should be gradually reduced: after February 10th this year, the lead content in pigment or other similar surface coatings should not exceed 600PPM, and this content will drop to 300PPM by August 14th this year. If August 14th is in August 14th 2011, if the technology is feasible, this content standard should be reduced to 100PPM.

She also mentioned that manufacturers of related products coming to the United States must obtain the manufacturer's certificate or importer's certificate, otherwise they will not be able to pass the US customs.

For such a standard requirement, many enterprises said that they had already known the CPSIA bill before, and were actively responding to such changes.

"The location of this meeting is quite meaningful in Dongguan and Hangzhou. This is a signal sent to the export manufacturers of the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta, indicating that CPSIA has to pay for its implementation."

Reporters learned from the scene that CPSIA's requirements for production enterprises will eventually become higher requirements for producers of raw materials.

Liang Feng, manager of the production of ROCKY brand in Nancheng, Dongguan, said that the most important source of harmful substances is pigment, dyestuff and glue. Therefore, the suppliers of chemical raw materials are the most critical to limit the quality of materials.

In addition, Taiwan Baocheng group, which belongs to Yuyuan shoes factory, also said that the group has now asked all suppliers to provide third party inspection reports, otherwise they will not cooperate.

Nan Bao resin of Huang Jiang is an enterprise that specializes in providing shoes and glue for ADI and Nike. Wang, who is the head of R & D technology department, said that the purpose of this forum is to focus on the latest developments of CPSIA. In fact, the EU related hazardous substances Restriction Act is more stringent than CPSIA, so Nan Bao's CPSIA requirement is not difficult at the technical level.
