Small Batch Registry is for anything, and all things made and sold for babies and children up to the age of 13. All the rules of the CPSIA apply if you make only 1 item at your kitchen table or if you make millions of children's items in a factory. The Small Batch Registry is for manufacturers,and you will be one if you are going to make and sell, that sell up to $1M100+K and no more than 7500 of an item. The $ amount goes up a bit each year. Most of us will never reach those amounts, but the relief on some testing helps immensely. Now that relief from testing doesn't mean you can just make and sell anything. You have to be able to pass all the testing your product requires. Soooooo, you have to know what the law requires of you, source your supplies carefully, have copies of all testing that has been done by your suppliers, complete a certificate of compliance which lists every regulation covering your product and how you are compliant with each regulation either by exemption and why you are exempt, or by testing. You also have to have not only the FTC labels, but CPSIA tracking labels sewn permanently into the garments or whatever you have made. And then you have to keep records of what went into each item in case there is a problem. You may never sell an unsafe product. It's a lot to take in, but once you get it down, and learn the "new language of gov speak" it's not so bad. Go to the thread above from the CPSC and find the links to the small batch registry. follow all the links, use the "robot tool" to help you learn just what you need to do. Write down specific questions that can be answered.
