I want to...

Do I need to report?

If you can answer yes to each of the following questions, then you must report:

Are your products offered for sale in Washington state, either in a store or online?
Are your products defined as children’s products according to the regulations?
Do your products contain one or more chemicals of high concern to children (CHCCs)?
Are you the person responsible for reporting?

If you answered no to any of the above questions, you do not need to register or report at this time.

For more information, review the reporting requirements.

When are reports due?

The next reporting deadline is Jan. 31, 2023. This is for products offered for sale in Washington from Jan. 1, 2022 to Dec. 31, 2022.

What do I need to report?

Manufacturers must report products that contain one or more CHCCs. For each CHCC, you must report the following:

Report the highest amount of each CHCC found in a product component in each product category. You can report in ranges rather than the exact amount, based either on test results or manufacturing knowledge.

If the CHCC is intentionally added: Report any amount above the practical quantitation limit (PQL).
If the CHCC is present as a contaminant: Report any amount above 100 parts per million (ppm), unless you have a manufacturing control program in place and exercises due diligence to minimize the level of the contaminant.

For more information, review what manufacturers must report (Chapter 173-334-080).

How do I 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.
