As of right now you have to test anything the CPSC has jurisdiction over that is for children 12 and under. The proposed exemption are just that a PROPOSAL. The CPSIA committee is taking comments until, I think feb 4th, before they present to the full commission who will in turn decide if the proposal should go to Congress and The House to be voted on as a amendment to Public Law 110-314, then of course it has to goto the President who can after all that veto it.
List of product lines that the CPSC DOES NOT have Jurisdiction for. So if your type of products are not on the list & the CPSIA considers your products to appeal to or be made for children you will be required to test for at least lead.
