Commerce Department pushes voluntary product labeling program
The Commerce Department launches a one year pilot for performance labels on products measuring load capacity strength and durability. Manufacturers provide data from tests by the National Bureau of Standards with a logo and potential fees around ten percent of one percent of the product price. Public input is sought for which items will be labeled and cooperation with EPA and FEA is planned to avoid label overlap.
