Making Sense of the CPSIA New Guidelines (Children's Jewelry Part B)

Designer Y would like to add this small piece of information to the Children's Jewelry information posted earlier this afternoon.

As stated in the proposed CPSIA legislation; the CPSC stated that as of February 9, 2009, all jewelry must meet the 600 ppm lead level guideline for metal parts and painted jewelry.

However, The CPSC has now outlined that they must FIRST decide upon what the specific requirements should be for third party labs for testing. Once those requirements are outlined and approved, then designers will have 90 DAYS from the date of the CPSC deciding on requirements for 3rd party labs to get their wares tested and (hopefully approved for sale).
