摘要

1995年7月由美國消費者產品安全委員會舉辦的一項國際會議當中與會者提出了強化消費者保護以及增加國際貿易的兩項工作目標，與會者認為維持產品的安全品質是確保消費者產品進入國際市場的最基本要求。美國作為全球最大的進口國家之一，一方面要替國內消費者的產品安全把關，一方面要與國際貿易夥伴維持良好的關係，為達成這兩方面的目標，加強對進口消費產品的安全的管控避免引發不必要的貿易紛爭，便成為核心工作。作為美國消費產品安全守護者的CPSC，在進口產品安全的管理上顯然採取了積極的作為，該會除了與海關合作加強進口產品的檢驗，讓不符規定的產品直接退運，讓它無法進入美國市場，以提供美國消費者更安全的產品之外，更將產品安全的檢驗工作直接推進到產地國家，透過積極的宣傳與教育，讓與產品有關的上中下游人士，對美國產品安全的規定有更深刻的認識和了解，這種從根源著手，多階段管控的產品安全把關方式，實值得我國相關單位的學習與借鏡。

On July18 1995, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) sponsored the international conference, ”Bringing Standards Together: An International Framework,” with the dual objectives of enhancing consumer protection and increasing international trade. Over 300 attendees from industry, government, academia and consumer organizations joined an extraordinary group of experts from the public and private sectors to share information and help ascertain ways to internationally harmonize consumer product safety standards while maintaining and strengthening consumer product safety.The conference evolved from the need to ensure that optimal product safety is maintained as an increasing number of consumer products are imported from the growing global marketplace. Making U.S. safety standard compatible with those of their trading partners is becoming the foundation for building strong trade relationships and creating U.S. jobs and effective markets abroad for U.S. products. Therefore, the Toy Manufacturers of America, Inc. and other throughout the international business community urged CPSC to take a leadership role in coordinating efforts to ensure product standard harmonization is recognized as a priority by both the public and private sectors.
