CPSC to Require Compliance Certificates for Imported Drywall Under New Sulfur Standard

The Consumer Product Safety Commission is adopting a mandatory standard for sulfur content in drywall, and will require general certificates of compliance for all drywall imports, it said in a notice (here). The agency is adopting sulfur content requirements in the voluntary standard ASTM C1396-14a, “Standard Specification for Gypsum Board,” as a product safety rule. As a result, Part 1110 certificate requirements will apply to imported drywall. The new mandatory standard and import certification requirements take effect for all drywall manufactured or imported on or after July 22.
