SGS Helps Autonomous Vehicle Manufacturers Deliver Safe and Compliant Vehicles to Global Markets

SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, has published a Consumer Compact article looking at growth in the global autonomous vehicle (AV) market.

Companies around the world are rapidly moving ahead with the development of AVs. In July 2022, Chinese company Baidu announced the introduction of its first robotaxi service and in America, Zoot, Waymo and Tesla are just some of the companies making progress in driverless ride-hailing services. There are multiple benefits to this new technology, but only if AVs meet statutory regulations regarding safety and performance and can build trust in consumers.

SGS’s Consumer Compact article looks at the rise of the AV, its benefits and the challenges that face industry. The article also addresses the importance of full-vehicle OTA testing to ensure functionality, performance and reliability.

SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, is advising stakeholders that the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has published a final rule for products containing magnets.

The purpose of the standard is to reduce the risk of death and injury associated with the ingestion of one or more high-powered magnets. It came into effect on October 21, 2022, and will apply to all relevant magnet products manufactured after this date.

The final rule applies to magnet products with one or more loose or separable magnets in any consumer product designed, marketed or intended to be used for: Entertainment Jewelry (including children's jewelry) Mental stimulation Stress relief Or a combination of the above The safety standard demands each loose or separable magnet in a product that fits entirely within the small parts cylinder described in 16 CFR 1501.4 must have a flux index of less than 50 kG² mm² when tested in accordance with 16 CFR 1262.4 (Test procedure for determining flux index).

Exempted products include products sold and/or distributed solely to school educators, researchers, professionals, and/or commercial or industrial users exclusively for educational, research, professional, commercial, and/or industrial purposes. Toys that are subject to toy safety standard 16 CFR 1250 are also exempted because the magnet ingestion hazard is addressed in that standard.
