Summary

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued a proposed rule to revise the voluntary standard for full-size baby cribs. The agency is requesting public comments on this proposed revision.

What changed

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has published a proposed rule to revise the voluntary standard for full-size baby cribs. This document is a notification of availability and a request for public comment on the proposed changes to the existing standard. The specific details of the revision are not fully elaborated in the provided text, but it pertains to the voluntary standards governing baby cribs.

Regulated entities, primarily manufacturers of baby cribs, should review the proposed revisions and submit comments to the CPSC. The comment period is short, closing on March 6, 2026. Failure to comment may result in the revised standard being adopted without consideration of industry feedback. While this is a voluntary standard, adherence to it is often expected by regulators and consumers, and changes could impact product design and manufacturing processes.

What to do next

  1. Review the proposed revision to the voluntary standard for full-size baby cribs.
  2. Submit comments to the Consumer Product Safety Commission by March 6, 2026.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Section 104(b) of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) requires the Commission to adopt mandatory standards for durable infant or toddler products. 15 U.S.C. 2056a(b)(1). Mandatory standards must be “substantially the same as” voluntary standards, or they may be “more stringent” than the applicable voluntary standards, if the Commission determines that more stringent requirements would further reduce the risk of injury associated with the products. Id. Mandatory standards may be based, in whole or in part, on a voluntary standard.

Section 104(b)(4)(B) of the CPSIA specifies the process for when a voluntary standards organization revises a standard that the Commission previously had incorporated by reference under section 104(b)(1). First, the voluntary standards organization must notify the Commission of the revision. Once the Commission receives this notification, the Commission may reject or accept the revised standard. To reject a revised standard, the Commission must notify the voluntary standards organization within 90 days of receiving the notice of revision that the Commission has determined that the revised standard does not improve the safety of the consumer product and that CPSC is retaining the existing standard. If the Commission does not take this action, the revised voluntary standard will be considered a consumer product safety standard issued under section 9 of the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA) (15 U.S.C. 2058), effective 180 days after the Commission received notification of the revision (or a later date specified by the Commission in the Federal Register). 15 U.S.C. 2056a(b)(4)(B).

Under this authority, the Commission issued a mandatory safety rule that incorporates by reference ASTM F1169-10, Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Full-Size Baby Cribs, with modifications, codified at 16 CFR part 1219 (75 FR 81766, Dec. 28, 2010). This mandatory standard includes performance requirements and test procedures, as well as requirements for warning labels and instructions, to address hazards to children associated with full-size baby cribs.

On February 2, 2026, ASTM notified the Commission that it had approved and published a revised version of the voluntary standard, ASTM F1169-25. CPSC is assessing the revised voluntary standard to determine, consistent with section 104(b)(4)(B) of the CPSIA, its effect on the safety of full-size baby cribs subject to 16 CFR part 1219. The Commission invites public comment to inform CPSC staff's assessment and subsequent Commission consideration of the revisions in ASTM F1169-25.

The currently incorporated voluntary standard (ASTM F1169-19) and the revised voluntary standard (ASTM F1169-25) are available for review in several ways. A read-only copy of the existing (ASTM F1169-19), incorporated standard is available for viewing, at no cost, on the ASTM website at: https://www.astm.org/​READINGLIBRARY/. A read-only copy of the revised standard (ASTM F1169-25), including a red-lined version that identifies the changes from the 2019 version to the 2025 version, is available, at no cost, on ASTM's website at: https://www.astm.org/​CPSC.htm. Interested parties can also download copies of the standards by purchasing them from ASTM International, 100 Barr Harbor Drive, P.O. Box C700, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959; phone: 610-832-9585; https://www.astm.org. Alternatively, interested parties can schedule an appointment to inspect copies of the standards at CPSC's Office of the Secretary, U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, 4330 East-West Highway, Bethesda, MD 20814, telephone: 301-504-7479.

Comments must be received by March 6, 2026. Because of the short statutory time frame Congress established for the Commission to consider revised voluntary standards under section 104(b)(4) of the CPSIA, CPSC will not ( printed page 8151) consider comments received after this date.

Alberta E. Mills,

Secretary, Consumer Product Safety Commission.
