Plastic bags in California, Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island, and Virginia require the following warning: "WARNING: To avoid danger of suffocation, keep this plastic bag away from babies and children. Do not use this bag in cribs, beds, carriages or play pens. This bag is not a toy." If the warning is required based on thickness and opening size, but not present, then the test shall be reported as fail. If a warning is present, report the warning listed on the bag. Document Review Product Documentation Review TS Edition 5.0 / Lab In-house method Point of Purchase documentation, where present, must be written in English or any other languages required by the client and/or destination country (ies). Any English verbiage must be clear and concise so that the average consumer can assemble and operate the product.

Modification : Reported as pass/fail. Note: A smartphone dummy shall be placed in the case when conducting this test. Record the dummy weight for test. Fit Test Place a smartphone dummy into the phone case. The phone case shall fit as intended, and have no damage during fitting. Remove the smartphone dummy, and repeat the fit test for a total of three times. Note: Test for overall fit of case to phone including alignment of holes and slots for buttons.

Place the test specimen assembly in between two plastic or glass plates and put into a perspiration tester. Set the dual plates with compensating springs in position, place the 3.63 kg (8.0 lbs.) weight on top making a total weight of 4.54 kg (10.0 lbs.) under the pressure plate, and lock the pressure plate in position by turning the thumb screw. Remove the weight and place the unit lying in vertical position (plates) into the oven with temperature kept at 50 C for 4 hours. In Perspiration stage: Test procedure will be same as dry but crockmeter test cloth with test specimen will be placed in a 9 cm diameter, 2 cm deep petri dish. Add freshly prepared perspiration solution to a depth of 1.5 cm in the petri dish. Soak the test specimen in the solution for 30 ± 2 min with occasional agitation and squeezing to ensure complete wetting. Other test procedure is same as above. Additional testing Formaldehyde: Spot Test (textiles only) AATCC 94 The presence or absence of formaldehyde resin is reported as "positive" for present and "negative" for absent. Formaldehyde: Quantitative * (If spot test is failed, JIS L1041 needs to proceed. If quantitative test fails then all additional colors should be tested for spot test first, then quantitative if spot test fails.) JIS L Year: R2005 Formaldehyde detected shall be of equal to or less than 75 ppm. Note: Adults: Method B, maximum 75 ppm Children 2+: Method A, 0.05

Canada: Marking of Imported Goods Citation: Canadian Customs Tariff, c.535 (Modified) / Canadian Customs Tariff, S.C. 1997, c.36, Section 19 / Marking of Imported Goods Regulations SOR/94-10 sections 4 and 5 & SOR/ Modification: Only samples that provide the English translation are verified; the Spanish and French verbiage is not verified. Imported goods shall be marked legibly, in a sufficiently permanent manner, and in a manner that is capable of being easily seen during the normal handling of the goods. Marking of goods from NAFTA Countries: a) Country of Origin marking shall be in English, French, or Spanish. Marking of goods from non-nafta Countries: a) Country of Origin marking shall be in English or French. These goods can be marked on their usual point of sale packaging alone, if this is the manner in which the ultimate purchaser will buy the good. If the individual good itself is marked, the packaging does not need to be marked if the packaging does not conceal or obstruct the marking on the product. Lab Notes: Applicable to goods specified in the schedule included with the regulation. For both NAFTA and non-nafta goods, the methods of marking listed in Appendix E to D-Memo D all constitute examples of acceptable marking methods. This list is not exhaustive; CBSA will generally accept "any reasonable method of marking that will remain on the container or its good (where applicable) until the product reaches the ultimate purchaser or recipient." The NAFTA countries are Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
