CPSC to Allow Software Developers to Access Product Registry for e-Filing Head Start

The Consumer Product Safety Commission is now allowing access for software developers to its consumer product registry for e-filing, even for those who aren’t participating in the ongoing “Beta” e-filing pilot, it said May 3. “This opportunity will provide developers additional time to test their API integration with the Product Registry prior to the voluntary test stage, beginning this summer, where any importer may begin eFiling,” CPSC said.

“Software developers interested in an account should email eFilingSupport@cpsc.gov with the company’s name and initial user’s name and email address,” CPSC said. “CPSC will allow access on a first-come, first-served basis and will be limited based on CPSC’s development capacity.”
