- Abstract
- This tabulation is a revision of the Draft Tabulation compiled by the American National Standards Institute and issued in April 1970. The categories and products listed are based on the Consumer Product Safety Index of the national Commission on Product Safety, July 1970. The consumer products listed are mostly those that are used in or around the home. The notable exception is sports and recreational equipment. The major consumer product areas not included are foods, beverages, and drugs. The tabulation lists 385 product areas andindicates the applicable voluntary national, industrial, and international standards which deal primarily with either safety or performance or both aspects of the product. For some of these areas, there are no applicable standards. Available information on certifications programs is also indicated.
