CPSC Extends Comment Period for Proposed Safety Standard for Table Saws

The Consumer Product Safety Commission is extending the period for comments on its November update to a proposed safety standard for table saws that dates back to 2017. The proposed standard would require injury mitigation technologies on all new table saws (see 1705110021), and the recent update to the proposal would add more detail to its definition of the term “table saw,” as well as a more precise description of the proposed standard’s performance requirement and a revised anti-stockpiling provision (see 2311060043). Comments are now due Feb. 1.
