FAQ
What is a Uniform Registration Number (URN)?
A URN is a number (Example: OH 5553 (CN) ) that is assigned for each law label. EACH FACTORY LOCATION MUST HAVE IT'S OWN LAW LABEL! If you company has several factories, you must have each factory registered with a different URN. Once this number is assigned by any of the 15 registration states, and then it is used for the applications to all the other states. The URN shall be printed on the law labels. It needs to renew as well.
What is Registration?
It is simply the act of registering with a state, by the manufacturer or importer, to sell stuffed and bedding goods in that state. As a manufacturer, you MUST register each factory/plant separately. You will be assigned a new URN for each factory/plant. You may register a "joint" license shared with an Importer.
What Canadian Provinces require registration?
The requirement is similar, but the lable needs to include French language.
If you are labeling bed pillows, comforters, furniture, sleeping bags or clothing apparel, you must also declare the outer shell material on the label.
What products require registration?
Just about any item that contains stuffing is required by at least some states to be registered. It is YOUR responsibility to determine what states you need to register your products in. Example: If you did not select CA for registration, but sell some goods in CA, you might be fined, IANTAM does NOT know what products you sell .
Why do I have to register?
Many states in the U.S. require the Law Label on all stuffed and bedding goods. 15 of those states require the manufacturer or importer registration. That registration will allow the manufacturer or importer to sell their goods in that state. Without it, the manufacturer or importer will be denied access to sell ANY good in that state.
What special requirement for Ohio registration?
Ohio needs to test the filling materials to ensure the manufacturer is correctly labeling the goods. An incorrect label could cause health problems.
What testing does California do?
California requires flammability compliance for upholstered furniture sold in the state.
Compliance of the filling materials and fabrics with TB 117-2013 for furniture is MANDATORY.
As of January 1, 2014 California has adopted a new flammability standard for upholstered furniture, referred to as TB117-2013. Manufacturers must meet either the TB117 (current standard)or they may meet the TB117-2013. As of January 1, 2015, all upholstered furniture sold in California must meet the TB117-2013 flammability standard.
