How is use and abuse testing applied for determining whether a component is inaccessible under the lead content limits?
A21: The use and abuse tests at 16 CFR § 1500.50-1500.53 will be used to evaluate the accessibility of lead-containing component parts of a children’s product for the specific age group for which the product is intended. 16 CFR § 1500.87(h) is revised to make clear that the test under 16 CFR § 1500.87(g) applies to products intended for children over 96 months through 12 years of age. Bite testing will not be applied for the purposes of evaluating whether lead-containing component parts are accessible for any ages.
