This is an illustrative scenario showing how a typical engagement runs. It does not describe a specific client.
The brief
Challenge
The brand wanted handcrafted wooden décor for children's rooms. As children's products sold in the US, the range needed CPSIA-compliant finishes, tracking labels and third-party lab testing before it could be listed.
How we ran it
Approach
- 1
Requirement mapping
CPSIA requirements were mapped to each SKU before suppliers were approached.
- 2
Compliance-capable suppliers
Only Saharanpur workshops able to use compliant finishes and document materials were shortlisted.
- 3
Sampling & testing plan
Samples were developed and a lab-testing plan agreed alongside sample approval.
- 4
Production & testing
Production was monitored and testing coordinated with an accredited lab before release.
- 5
Inspection & FOB
AQL 2.5 / 4.0 inspection, ISPM 15-compliant packaging and FOB hand-over at the Indian port.
What the buyer gets
Outcome
- Test reports and documentation ready for marketplace listing
- Compliant finishes and labelling on every SKU
- A supplier base qualified for future children's products
