The tracking label part of the law is separate from the testing part. <a href="http://www.whatisthecpsia.com/?p=449" rel="nofollow">These</a> are the only exceptions of things that don't need tracking labels. There are really only three things that have to be on the label: your company name, your location, and your choice of batch number or production date. You can add this information to your existing labels, if it's not already on there. You can use any format that is permanent to label your garments: sew-in tags, iron-ons, even glue them in (if it's permanent glue). I've taken some pictures of my tracking labels on baby booties, and I'll post them to my blog (Organic Baby Farm) when I have time. I'll post a link on this site when I've got the post up. There's a link to Organic Baby Farm on the left sidebar; I've posted there about my own tracking labels.

For childrenswear, if the garment does not have any components which require testing do you still need to provide these tracking labels? Do you know where I can see a sample of a label for children's garment would look like? It seems that all of this info on a label inside of a garment is 1) going to make the label quite large and 2) quite costly. Thanks so much for this website.
