SUNY-ESF/RadTech Webinar Series: Compliance with Consumer Products Safety Standards
Doreen M. Monteleone, Ph.D., Director Sustainability & EHS Initiatives, RadTech
Mary Toro, Director of Regulatory Enforcement, Consumer Products Safety Commission
Neal S. Cohen, Small Business Ombudsman, Consumer Products Safety Commission
Do your customers ask questions about the safety and compliance of your UV/EB coatings? Are you curious about which federal government consumer product safety regulations possibly address UV/EB? Have you ever been asked by your customers to certify the lead or phthalate content of your coatings?
In the webinar, you will hear directly from product safety professionals from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). They will provide a detailed presentation followed by a question and answer session about the applicability of federal safety laws (mandatory and voluntary) including the Consumer Products Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) to the UV/EB industry. CPSC staff will discuss requirements for lead in surface coatings, the use of phthalates, and the options around third-party testing for children’s products. There is also a voluntary testing option that may be interest to members whose customers have requested safety information. Please feel free to send questions (and examples) ahead of time in order to make the presentation as relevant and helpful as possible. All questions and examples should be sent to Doreen Monteleone at Doreen@RadTech.org and received no later than Sept. 30, 2014.
