Undue Influence Training Video

What is undue influence training?

Undue influence training is training to make sure that manufacturers and their employees do not exert undue influence on testing laboratories to alter test methods or test results that serve as the basis for certifying a product’s compliance under federal law.
Manufacturers and importers are required to make sure “that every appropriate staff member receive training on avoiding undue influence and sign a statement attesting to participation in such training.” Manufacturers and importers must also inform their employees that allegations of undue influence may be reported confidentially to the CPSC and must tell their employees how to make such confidential reports.

A digital signature or other electronic attestation (such as a check box), indicating that an employee took the training as part of software or online training, would meet the requirement to “sign a statement attesting to participation in such training.”
