The previous version of the 16 CFR 1217 referenced the ASTM F1821-16 with no modifications. The 2019e1 version of the ASTM F1821, when compared to the 2016 version of the F1821, includes a modification to the testing of toddler bed side rails and several editorial changes
This Direct Final Rule will become effective January 27, 2020 unless the CPSC receives any significant or adverse comments.
