When bringing new products to market, consumer safety is uppermost in Retailers' minds. The impact in lost sales and public perception that can follow an unexpected removal of a product deemed hazardous or dangerous is disastrous. Brand loyalty and the image of "trusted retailer" can evaporate overnight.
Under the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA), Importers and Manufacturers (of clothing, baby products, kids' toys, etc.) must make Certificates of Conformity available to their distributors and retailers. These certificates show that the products have been appropriately tested and meet the requirements of CPSIA. Without these certificates, it's likely that shipments of products will be refused when they reach stores.
Subscribing to TradeStone Software's CPSIA compliance capability enables you to better control product quality and safety. Through early capture of component and material information, automated association of testing procedures and the recording of multiple test results, you can mitigate the risks and costs associated with product recalls and compliance failures.
