ATTACHMT: Attached to letter dated 5-18-93 from John Womack to A. F. Zang, III (A41; Std. 213; FMVSS 302)

TEXT: I am planning to produce a product for children. I am concerned about meeting all governmental rules concerning products for children. The product is made out of a fabric that is plastic coated, and is an after market child's car seat cover. My main concern is the flammability restrictions that the government places upon fabrics that are used for children's goods. I am writing to your agency because my product will be used on the highways.

Where can I go to get the fabric tested? What are the test specifications? Are these questions something that are already available from the factory? I want to be able to state on the packaging that the fabric has been tested and found to be within governmental regulations. I feel that it is important for parents to feel safe about the products they are purchasing for their children.

Any information that you could send me concerning governmental regulations for children's products would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
