Training Materials

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) employs a collaborative "train-the-trainer" approach in its government-to-government engagement with China. This method focuses on equipping Chinese regulatory officials and industry representatives with the knowledge and tools needed to implement safety standards that align with global best practices. By conducting workshops and sharing technical expertise, the CPSC helps foster a shared commitment to consumer safety. This approach builds mutual understanding and enhances product safety on both sides, reflecting the importance of addressing common challenges in an interconnected global marketplace.

This initiative leverages resources efficiently by emphasizing education and capacity-building, reducing the likelihood of unsafe products entering the U.S. market while promoting compliance with established standards. It also demonstrates the value of collaboration in areas of mutual interest. The impact is significant: improved safety outcomes protect consumers in both countries, strengthen international trade relationships, and highlight the potential for positive engagement between the United States and China in addressing shared priorities.

These training materials below are a few examples of materials used for training in China that are devoted to several consumer products exported from China.
