Sellers will not be immune from prosecution if CPSC's Office of Compliance finds that someone had actual knowledge that one of these children's products contained more than 600 ppm lead or continued to make, import, distribute or sell such a product after being put on notice. Agency staff will seek recalls of violative children's products or other corrective actions, where appropriate.
*Issue an interim final rule effective February 10, 2009, which establishes alternative lead limits for certain electronic devices, in order to prevent unnecessary removal of certain children's products from store shelves.
*Accept a manufacturer's determination that a lead-containing part on their product is inaccessible to a child and not subject to the new lead limits, if it is consistent with the Commission's proposed guidance or is based on a reasonable reading of the inaccessibility requirement. Paint and other coatings or electroplating are not considered barriers that make a component inaccessible.
This enforcement policy will remain in effect until superseded by action of the Commission.
CPSC still expects companies to meet their reporting obligation under federal law and immediately tell the Commission if they learn of a children's product that exceeds the new lead limits starting on February 10, 2009. Companies also should know that the CPSIA generally prohibits the export for sale of children's products that exceed the new lead limits
As announced on January 30, 2009, the Commission approved a one year stay of enforcement for certain testing and certification requirements for manufacturers and importers. Significant to makers of children's products, the 'stay' provides limited relief from the testing and certification for total lead content limits, phthalates limits for certain products and mandatory toy standards. Manufacturers and importers - large and small - of children's products will not need to test or certify to these new requirements, but will still need to meet the lead and phthalates limits, mandatory toy standards and other requirements. Certification based on testing by an accredited laboratory is still required for painted children's products and soon will be required for children's metal jewelry, as well as certain other products for non-lead issues.
CPSC Issues Guidance For Complying With Phthalates Requirements In New Child Safety Law
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Starting on February 10, 2009, children's toys and child care articles cannot contain more that 0.1% of six phthalates (DEHP, DBP, BBP, DINP, DIDP, and DnOPA) regardless of when they were manufactured. The CPSC will abide by a court decision (pdf) issued yesterday ruling that the prohibition on phthalates in the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 applies to products in inventory. Phthalates are a group of chemicals (oily, colorless liquids) that are used among other things to make vinyl and other plastics soft and flexible.
A "children's toy" is defined in the statute as a product intended for a child 12 years of age or younger for use when playing. The Commission has previously stated that it will follow the definition of toy in the mandatory toy standard which exempts such things as bikes, playground equipment, musical instruments, and sporting goods (except for their toy counterparts).
The statute also prohibits phthalates over the limit in "child care articles," which include products that a child 3 and younger would use for sleeping, feeding, sucking or teething. By way of example, a pacifier/teether would be an item that would help a child with sucking or teething; a sippy cup would facilitate feeding; and a crib mattress would facilitate sleeping.
Companies must meet their reporting obligation under federal law and immediately tell the Commission if they learn of a children's toy or child care article that exceeds the new phthalates limits starting on February 10, 2009. Companies also should know that the CPSIA generally prohibits the export for sale of children's products that exceed the new phthalates limits.
The agency will be issuing further guidance information next week.
从2007年1月16日起，欧盟将限制在玩具制造中加入邻苯二甲酸盐。该规定将取代欧盟各成员国实施的不同的对邻苯二甲酸盐的强制执行标准，并取代欧盟以前实施的各种临时措施。据了解，除了欧盟以外，美国、日本、韩国也已经或即将出台类似的限制邻苯二甲酸盐的技术法规。
欧盟新法规明确，DEHP(邻苯二甲酸二己酯)、DBP(邻苯二甲酸二丁酯)和BBP(邻苯二甲酸苯基丁酯)将被限制在所有儿童玩具和服装及其他物品所使用的PVC材料中使用；相应的DINP(邻苯二甲酸二异壬酯)、DIDP(邻苯二甲酸二异癸酯)和DNOP(邻苯二甲酸二辛酯)也限制在儿童玩具和服装及所有可能被放入口中的物品中使用；上述6种成分的含量不得超过0.1%，超过0.1%不得在欧盟市场出售。新法规所涉产品不仅包括36个月以下婴童的玩具、服装和护理品，还包括其他年龄段儿童使用的可能会被放进口中的所有物品。
浙江省是全国最大的出口玩具生产基地之一，去年1至11月出口玩具29亿元人民币，出口欧盟约占三四成。出口欧盟玩具以智力玩具、填充的玩具动物和带动力装置的玩具及模型为主，大多玩具都由塑料组成，而邻苯二甲酸盐被广泛用于塑料玩具，难以符合欧盟标准，如果不采取应对措施，将损失惨重。

记者从接近商务部门人士处获悉，就印度政府1月23日宣布今后6个月内禁止进口中国玩具事件，中国政府将作出积极回应。
该人士称，“中国政府将对该事件发出严正抗议，如果印度的做法严重触犯WTO协议，违反其加入WTO时作出的承诺，中国政府或将印度上告至WTO争端解决机构(DSB)。”
2月2日，在中国玩具出口集聚地广东汕头澄海，多家厂商表示，出口印度的玩具已无法入境。汕头市外经贸局李俊副局长走访企业时，有多个厂家向其反映出口印度玩具被限。
一位不愿透露姓名的企业主表示，虽然印度政府是1月23日宣布该决定，但该厂当月20日前出口的一批总值9万美元的货物已滞留印度境外，如无法入境，将导致进口商和出口商共同受损。
印度1月23日公布限令后，已受到多方质疑。据印度快报24日报道，印度玩具业协会秘书长阿罗拉说，他们很惊讶于政府的措施。尽管印度政府没有给出禁令原因，但阿罗拉认为，这是为了保护印度玩具产业。阿罗拉说，印度玩具协会没有任何理由建议政府禁止进口中国玩具。
据印度媒体报道，1992年到2003年，印度玩具厂商每周从中国进口120万件玩具。尤其到1997年之后，中国玩具一度占据了印度80%的市场。而印度玩具市场产值25亿美元，本土玩具瓜分了其中10亿美元。而我国是世界玩具生产大国。据统计，中国玩具占全世界生产玩具总量的70%，广东占中国生产玩具总量的70%。
“虽然印度不是我们出口的主要国家，但影响肯定存在，特别是对企业士气的消极影响。” 中国玩具协会副会长郭卓才表示，“但玩具行业的生产链很长，涉及纺织品、金属加工、塑料化工等20多个行业，中国玩具业经过近30年的发展，产业基础已经相当成熟，无论从原材料储备和加工技术，都不是一般国家可比。”
复旦大学法学院教授、WTO争端解决机构专家组专家董世忠就此事担心，随着经济衰退在世界范围逐步扩散，各国间更多的贸易壁垒将出现。（21世纪经济报道）
