Canada, Mexico, US Agencies Unite on Safety Recommendations for Chargers
April 5, 2019 |Consumer Product Safety Commission

Three product safety agencies of North America -- the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Health Canada and the Consumer Protection Federal Agency of Mexico -- jointly developed consensus recommendations to improve test methods for ensuring the safety of AC and USB chargers, the CPSC said in an April 4 news release. In trilateral letters to the standards development organizations in the three countries, the agencies recommended new testing to assess potential fire and burn hazards caused by AC and USB chargers for small electronic devices. The effort is the first example of a joint consumer product safety standard recommendation developed among multiple governments that aren’t members of a single administrative region, they said. The goal of the multiyear project is to foster closer alignment of consumer product safety requirements through technical consultations and to seek consensus approaches to consumer product hazards not yet being addressed through formal regulatory or standards work, they said.
