How do you submit a report?
Submit reports through the High Priority Chemical Data System (HPCDS), released by Interstate Chemical Clearinghouse (IC2). This system allows you to file children's product reports for multiple states.
We will continue to manage and enforce the Children's Safe Products Act and its reporting rule.
How does Ecology enforce CSPA requirements?
We test products to ensure manufacturers follow limits on restricted-use chemicals and report accurate information about chemicals in their children's products. We also review manufacturer reported data to ensure the use of restricted chemicals stay below the limits.
When there are violations on restricted-use chemicals:
- Those children’s products must be removed from the marketplace.
- We enforce state standards for those products the federal limits do not cover.
Washington’s laws apply to a broader range of consumer products than those covered by federal limits.
