Wearing apparel must meet 16 CFR 1610. CPSC does not enforce the certificate requirement for adult apparel made only of fabrics exempt from testing under 16 CFR 1610.1(d) (81 FR 12587). Hats, gloves up to 14 in, footwear, and interlinings are outside 1610. Almost all CPSC-flagged apparel HTS lines are children's or infants'; the few adult ones are scarves and shawls.
