Nord, the acting chairwoman of the CPSC…reportedly opposes provisions in the legislation that would increase to $100 million the maximum penalties for violations of product safety regulations. The CPSC is currently authorized to issue monetary penalties of up to $1.8 million, but Nord has separately proposed increasing that cap to $10 million.” Conformity, December 2007 UL Standards Update Underwriters Laboratories has announced the availability of these standards, revisions and bulletins (additional information is available at www.ul.com): • UL 22 Standard for Amusement and Gaming Machines.
