So far this year, industry representatives have met with Chinese government officials, and the Hong King Trade Development Council; conducted a compliance forum at a large international trade show; and are working with an international testing agency to make jewelry component testing more cost-efficient.
Gale concluded his testimony by stating "Our industry needs a national risk-based standard, one that cannot be preempted by any state or local law or regulation, if we are to maintain our competitiveness in the global marketplace, assure that compliant materials are available throughout our international supply chain, and maximize our industry's ability to protect consumers, especially children."
