Are CSSB inspection agencies exclusive to CSSB members?

The accredited inspection agencies that perform inspection services at CSSB member manufacturers are independently owned and operated businesses. As such, and due to Federal Antitrust Law and other reasons, the CSSB is not able to require exclusive contracts from inspection agencies. Inspecting CSSB member only/and non-member products is a choice made by each inspection agency.
