CPSIA technology solution
14/08/2009
The solution, called Universal Track and Trace, consists of Avery Dennison printers, tag and label design software, and the D2Comm online data management tool. “Universal Track and Trace requires no custom programming,” said product manager, Michael Dancausse, on announcing the develoment. “It allows users to print and capture the specific label data that is mandated by CPSIA, and then add a unique serial number on the label that ties it to additional production data. And we can make all this available online.”
The CPSIA regulations, which became effective August 14, 2009, are designed to protect children by aiding in the recall of unsafe products, including apparel, footwear, bedding and accessories. The regulations require that a permanently applied label contain the product’s production location and date, as well as the manufacturer’s name and the product’s batch or lot number. The mandate affects all apparel manufacturers and importers who supply children’s products.
