Regarding surface paint testing

[Former_Member]

Does anyone know if the certificate from the manufacturer is enough for paint or inks? It would make sense that the certificate is enough, but the part that indicates "Small batch manufacturers must always third party test..." for group A in the small batch website is a bit confusing to me, as it seems to indicate the contrary.

Also, where can the list of registered manufacturers be found? They indicate in the website that it will be available to the public.
Thanks...

16CFR 1109, allows the following...Small batch manufacturers must always third party test..." including third party testing or a certificate of conformity provided by a component part supplier

So either you third party test or get a COC of testing for compliance from the supplier.

I don't know if the list is available yet. It will be available thru the Safer portal, is my understanding.
