It is my understanding that as long as I make less than $1 million dollars and less than 7000 units per year, I will be exempt from testing each outfit I create.
I am doing this because I spoke to a children's store that would not buy from local designers/seamstresses because she thinks she needs certificates on file. I do not know the truth of this--she may of just not been interested. Whatever, I am covering my bases.
After going to their site I found the following:
Small
Batch Manufacturer
You
must register as a Small Batch Manufacturer every year to qualify for this
testing relief.
Here
are the steps:
1. First, you must register your
business on the Business Portal of
SaferProducts.gov. If you are already registered and
have set your Business Portal password, skip to step 3.
2. Once you register with the Business
Portal, you will receive two e-mails, one that acknowledges your request and a
second that tells you how to activate your account. After you successfully
activate your account, you will be prompted to set your Business Portal
password. You will then receive a final e-mail confirming your registration.
4. To complete the registration process
and identify yourself as a Small Batch Manufacturer, click on “Small Batch
Manufacturers” in the top navigation bar.
5. You will be asked to affirm all
three statements on the Small Batch Manufacturer’s registration page to
complete your registration online.
6. Click Submit. You will receive an
e-mail with your Small Batch Manufacturer registration number.
7.
Request
a Business Account User ID
8. Thank you for your request for a
Business Account User ID.
9. Your account is not yet active. CPSC
will review the information you supplied and send an e-mail to both the
Business Account User ID and the Primary Contact User ID when the account is
created. You must set a password to activate each account.
10. Activate the Business Account User
ID first by clicking on the link contained in the e-mail sent to the
Business Account User ID. Follow the instructions given to create a password
for the Business Account.
11. You will be able to create and
manage privileges for additional users for this business through the Business
Account User ID once the account is activated. After the Business Account User
ID is active, you can activate the link sent to the Primary Contact.
12. If you have questions, call CPSC at
(301) 504-7921 or e-mail us at rmscs@cpsc.gov.
I am following the directions above. After completing the on-line application, I received the following email:
We have received your request to register for a new Business Portal User Account on SaferProducts.gov. Please note: Your registration is NOT yet complete. Registration is a two-step process. You MUST watch for and act on additional e-mails to complete your registration.
CPSC will create your Business Portal User Account as soon as possible. We will send you an Account Activation e-mail from donotreply@cpsc.gov with activation instructions. This typically takes 1 to 2 business days.
Within 5 business days of receiving the Business Portal User Account Activation e-mail, you MUST confirm and activate your account using the link provided in the e-mail.
(The subject line of the e-mail is titled, "CPSC Business Portal - Confirm Business Account Activation." Please add donotreply@cpsc.gov to your address book so our e-mails do not get caught in your spam filter.)
If you have questions about the Business Portal or registering your account, please read our FAQs.
If you are registering as a small batch manufacturer, you will need to activate your Business Portal User Account, as described above. Once you have successfully activated your Business Portal User Account, you will need to follow the additional steps listed on this page to complete your registration as a small batch manufacturer.
If you have additional questions, please e-mail: clearinghouse@cpsc.gov, or call (301) 504-7921.
Thank you,
U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
I am waiting now for their next email.
