Sec. 2 Increasing reliance by Commission on voluntary consumer product safety standards
Section 7(b) of the Consumer Product Safety Act (15 U.S.C. 2056(b)) is amended by adding at the end the following:
“(3) In any case in which the Commission determines that compliance with a voluntary consumer product safety standard would eliminate or adequately reduce the risk of injury addressed, but determines substantial compliance with such voluntary standard is not likely, the Commission may promulgate a consumer product safety standard addressing such risk of injury only if—
“(A) such consumer product safety standard is identical to such voluntary standard; or
“(B) in the case of a consumer product safety standard that allows for compliance in more than one manner, at least one such manner of compliance is identical to such voluntary standard.”
