The Consumer Product Safety Program would like to inform you that the Industry Guide for the Classification of Cribs, Cradles, Bassinets and Sleep Accessories has been updated.
This document sets out factors and considerations that Health Canada takes into account to determine whether a product manufactured, imported, advertised, or sold in Canada falls in the scope of the Cribs, Cradles and Bassinets Regulations.
The updates include:
- Discussion on the product definitions in the Cribs, Cradles, and Bassinets Regulations
- Refining the descriptions of the factors that contribute to a product’s primary function of providing sleeping accommodation
- Adding examples of product categories that Health Canada considers to have a primary function of providing sleeping accommodation
Please feel free to forward this note to other interested parties.
