- Abstract
- The guidelines were prepared to assist the Consumer Product Safety Commission in the development of generic safety standards. This development is based on conceptual models of product hazard interactions and analyses of accident sequences, product clustering, and hazard characteristics. The motivation for these guidelines derives from a perceived need to expedite the standard development process and to enhance the efficiency of standards for consumer product safety.
