 larger facility with more high-tech equipment will help the CPSC be more efficient in productive and testing products, products that could pose a danger to consumers. I'd like to welcome you to the Outdoor Power Sports Testing Laboratory. This laboratory is equipped with data acquisition equipment as well as this tilt table built into the floor where we perform the parking brake test that is part of the standard. As you can see the vehicle on the left continues to move. The standard says that the vehicle should be able to maintain its position on this slope facing both downhill forwards and backwards for five minutes without failing and clearly the one on left has not passed that test. This is a cyclic testing lab. What we do here is we simulate the lifetime of use for cribs for example by running them through our crib shaker test, crib impactor test, side rail impact test and then our slat test and combine these simulate a lifetime of use by a typical child out in the field. This is the Durable Children's product testing area. We have the toy lab also over here and what I'm going to be showing you guys today is the Walker stair test. What we're looking for are skid pads on the underside of the baby walker. Right now there's only casters on it. There should be rubber pads here so that when it falls over the stairs it stops short and doesn't tumble. The velocity of the eight pound weight falling will create a set speed that we know a child can achieve. So obviously if it had the skid pads on it it would have stopped short and it wouldn't have gone over the edge. This is the impact testing area and what we're looking for here are any small parts or sharp edges that break off during the impacting. Depending on how old the child is depends on how high will drop it from. Pretty simple test but we're going to take it down so that it breaks one of the laser beams but not both. That would be too far. They'll be outside the regulation and again if we get any small parts or sharp edges out of that that's a failure. You are in the the bike helmet impact lab and here we test helmets. This particular test raises up the helmet so that it reaches an impact velocity of approximately 11 to 14 miles an hour and that is roughly comparable to a lot of bicycle helmet impacts and injuries. This is an important test because it ensures that bike helmets comply with the federal regulations and in this particular example like I've gotten my hand on the outside looks very very similar to anything else that you would see in the marketplace and yet it broke. So that's why we test. This is the CPSC flammability laboratory. We have the capability of evaluating mattresses mattress pads and children's sleepwear to the federal regulations. In this new lab space we have a special burn room that is capable of handling larger scale fires. The room is instrumented with a special hood that can measure the heat release from the fire below. This is an example of the children's sleepwear test. The sample is hung in the test cabinet. Small flame is held for three seconds to the bottom edge. It's a vertical ignition once the specimen is ignited it's allowed to burn until completion. As you can see from this example large flames burning vigorously it would not give a child the opportunity to react very quickly and therefore this sample fails to test. We're here in the chemistry lab of the CPSC and we test children's products for lead in paint and plastics. We're testing using X-ray fluorescence and that's something we do with the same instruments at our ports of entry. We also have another special kind of XRF called an HD XRF which we can use to measure lead in paint down to 0.009% which is the regulatory limit. One of the other things we do in the chemistry lab is test for phthalates. We have a brand new instrument called the direct analysis in real-time mass spectrometer. It's a real advantage for testing for phthalates. Traditional testing requires a lot of sample preparation. We cut the sample up, dissolve it in some harsh organic solvents. We've run instruments that are run time can be anywhere from 20 minutes to half hour but this direct analysis instrument allows us to put the sample in without any sample preparation. We can just take a quick glass tube rub it on top of the sample to get some of the material off and put it into the instrument. Hot gas runs over the sample and brings it into the instrument and the instrument actually measures the mass of the different molecules that enter. We can look at the print out get an idea of what molecules are in there and then we get a quick yes or no answer are their phthalates. The CPSC stands for safety and this state of the art facility is a testament to our renewed commitment in keeping families safe.
