UNITED STATES CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION DIRECTORATE FOR LABORATORY SCIENCES DIVISION OF CHEMISTRY 10901 DARNESTOWN RD GAITHERSBURG, MD 20878 Test Method: CPSC-CH-C1001-09.2 Standard Operating Procedure for Determination of Phthalates* July 27, 2009 This document provides detailed information on test methods that will be used by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s (CPSC) testing laboratory (LSC) for the analysis of phthalate content in child care items and toys. It has been concluded that in order to protect children from the hazard the Act intended to address, that “concentrations of more than 0.1 percent” must apply per plasticized component part of a children’s toy or child care article. This conclusion was determined to be the only reasonable solution to an apparent paradox posed by a hypothetical toy, composed of multiple component parts as described below which illustrates the advantages to this approach based on plasticized component parts. In a hypothetical case, it is possible for a toy such as a toddler ride-on toy to contain a plasticized part, such as a teether attached to the playing surface, where that teether part could contain a high concentration of one of the prohibited or interim-prohibited phthalates, and yet because of the relative size of that part of the toy compared to the toy as a whole, the toy itself may not contain in excess of 0.1% of the phthalate. If the Act were interpreted to apply to the concentration in the entire article, this hypothetical toy would then meet the standard even though the plasticized part contains a high concentration of the prohibited or interim-pro
