CPSC Published Direct Final Rule on the Revisions to Safety Standard for Frame Child Carriers (16 CFR 1230) Release Time:2022-10-09

On September 1, 2022, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has published a direct final rule to revise the regulation 16 CFR 1230 Safety Standard for Frame Child Carrier. The rule is effective on December 3, 2022, unless CPSC receives a significant adverse comment by October 3, 2022.



Each Frame Child Carriers shall comply with the ASTM F2549-22 Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Frame Child Carriers. The previous version of 16 CFR 1230 referenced ASTM F2549-14a.

A laboratory is not required to resubmit their CPSC application if the laboratory is already CPSC-accepted for 16 CFR PART 1230. The CPSC Committee considers that the existing CPSC-approved ASTM F2549-14a testing laboratory can also perform tests in accordance with ASTM F2549-22.

A frame child carrier is a product, normally of sewn fabric construction on a tubular metal or other frame, which is designed to carry a child, in an upright position, on the back of the caregiver. A frame child carrier is intended for use with a child that is able to sit upright unassisted and weighs between 16 and 50lb (7.3 and 18.1 kg).
