CPSC to Relax General Certificate Requirement for Household Refrigerators
August 1, 2019 |Consumer Product Safety Commission

The Consumer Product Safety Commission will no longer require a general certificate of conformity for household refrigerators if the refrigerators are labeled as in compliance, the CPSC said in notice. As of Aug. 2, the CPSC "will not pursue compliance or enforcement actions against manufacturers, importers or private labelers of household refrigerators for failure to issue, provide, or make available" the GCCs that were required under the Refrigerator Safety Act. The RSA was passed in 1956 to prevent deaths of children that become trapped in refrigerators, which were at the time often equipped with external latches, the CPSC said. A review of CPSC data found no entrapment deaths or compliance cases in at least the last 20 years, the agency said.
