CPSC officially releases draft regulation notice for toys containing button/coin batteries
Time：
2024-08-26
The US CPSC has released revised requirements for toys with button or coin cell batteries in the toy safety standards
On July 10, 2024, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) released a proposal regarding "Requirements for Toys with Button/Coin Batteries". CPSC staff suggest that the committee issue a draft notice on drafting regulations (NPR) to establish new mandatory standards for "toys containing button/coin batteries" to ensure that these toys meet the highest feasible safety requirements.
The committee voted unanimously to approve the publication of a notice on "Requirements for Toys with Button/Coin Batteries" in the Federal Register, which will add the following testing requirements:
Anti loosening design of screws on battery cover
Basic requirements for threaded fasteners
Continuous use
Abuse testing (stress release, battery replacement, impact, compression, torque, tension, pressure, and compliance verification testing)
Update identification and labeling requirements
It is worth noting that the additional content of NPR is even stricter than the requirements of ASTM F963-23 standard. This can be seen as an extension of the requirements of the Ries Act and UL 4200A-23 standards for toy products to further reduce the potential harm risks caused by these batteries and represent the highest level of safety in addressing the issue of children ingesting button/coin batteries from toys.
The Notice of Proposed Regulations (NPR) was officially published in the Federal Register on August 13, 2024. The public can provide feedback and comments within 60 days from the date of publication (i.e. before October 15, 2024).
Expected effective date: 180 days after the final rules are announced and approved.
