Product Compliance Saves Lives

6/1/2016

 
Picture
Are you selling a physical product in your state or country? Do you have the proper certifications to sell or distribute your items there? Designing your product to comply with safety regulations and standards deemed by the local governments your product will be sold in is the cost of doing business. These regulations are in place to protect the public from personal harm or protect the surrounding environment. These marking may include those from UL, FCC, CE, FDA, CSA, etc. depending on your type of product.
 
TheU.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death from thousands of types of consumer products under the agency’s jurisdiction. The CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical, or mechanical hazard or can injure children. The CPSC’s work to ensure the safety of consumer products—such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters, and household chemicals—contributed significantly to the decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 30 years.
 
 UL LLC is an American worldwide safety consulting and certification company headquartered in Northbrook, Illinois. It maintains offices in 46 countries. Established in 1894 as the Underwriters' Electrical Bureau (a bureau of the National Board of Fire Underwriters). The organization has expanded with 64 Laboratories, testing and certification facilities serving customers in 104 countries. Catagories : Sustainability Standards, Electrical and electronic products, Life safety, Building products, Industrial control equipment, plastic materials, wire and cables, Photovoltaic

The FCC Declaration of Conformity[1] or the FCC label or the FCC mark is a certification mark employed on electronic products manufactured or sold in the United States which certifies that the electromagnetic interference from the device is under limits approved by the Federal Communications Commission.
 
FDA in general is trying to protect humans and animals (especially those in the food chain) from harm. In general, FDA regulates:
Food, Drugs, Biologics, medical devices, electronic products that give off radiation, cosmetics, veterinary products and tobacco products.

Many developed nations around the world have a variation on these agency regulations some have adopted those used in the United States of America and there are those countries which have very little regulation but if you want to import or export your product you need to comply and they will verify compliance via testing (not just reviewing paperwork).
