The importer or the domestic party that packages a PPPA regulated substance in special packaging must issue the general conformity certificate. The child resistance and senior friendly testing data (also known as protocol data) obtained in accordance with the procedures described under 16 C.F.R. 1700.20 may be used by the importer or domestic packager to support its certification. The packager can rely upon this data as the basis for the reasonable testing program. There is no expiration date on these tests and no requirement to retest so long as the tests adequately reflect the current packaging used. (Commission staff does not consider the European tests (ISO 8317, EN 14375, and EN862) to be the equivalent of the tests required by the CPSC regulations.) Posted 12/10/2008.
