UTVs/ROVs Debris Penetra on Proposed Rule
In 2022 the CPSC published a No ce of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) with proposed test procedures and requirements for debris penetra on. Despite newly revised OPEI and ROHV standards with new debris penetra on requirements, un l May, CPSC con nued to move forward to prepare a Final Rule based on the agency’s requirements. OPEI has joined ROHVA to hire Mayer Brown to prepare arguments to a final rule. Primary concerns are lead me, repeatability, and the overly burdensome nature of the CPSC rule. Portable Generator CO Emissions & Shutdown Proposed Rule The CPSC has issued a Supplemental No ce of Proposed Rulemaking which proposes a 150 g/hr CO emissions limit and CO shutdown technology. ANSI/PGMA G300 voluntary standard was developed to address CO poisoning risk by inclusion CO shutdown requirements. The voluntary standard is highly effec ve at reducing the risk of injury and is widely adopted by industry. OPEI commented in opposi on to the rule in June 2023. Despite this voluntary standard, the agency con nues work on this rulemaking – pending any new agency direc on resul ng from the Trump Administra on (either directly to CPSC or as applicable to all agencies).
