Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This notice cancels two previous mandatory safety standards concerning children's clothing.

What it does:

Revokes the safety standard for children's nightwear and limited daywear designed to reduce fire hazards (flammability requirements).
Revokes the safety standard for paper patterns used to sew children's nightwear.

Why it matters: From 1 March 2007, manufacturers and retailers were no longer legally required to comply with these specific fire safety standards when making or selling children's sleepwear (or patterns for them). Note: Other general consumer protection laws continued to apply to ensure product safety.

Legal basis: Made by the Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasurer under the Trade Practices Act 1974 (the predecessor to today's Competition and Consumer Act 2010).
