Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match together (e.g. "China import").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters (e.g., ACE).

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., CBP +releases).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).

Singular form: Use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").

CPSC Proposes Safety Standard for Strollers and Carriages
May 17, 2013 by Brian Feito|Consumer Product Safety Commission

The Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a proposed rule on safety standards for carriages and strollers. The proposal is based on the voluntary standard developed by ASTM International, ASTM F833-13, “Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Carriages and Strollers,” with a proposed additional requirement and test method to address scissoring, pinching, or shearing hazards at the hinge link of 2D fold strollers, CPSC said. ASTM F833-13 includes carriages and strollers, as well as convertible carriages/strollers, so the proposed rule would cover all of these product types, it said. Comments are due by about Aug. 3. The ASTM standard is copyrighted, but can be viewed as a read-only document during the comment period (here).
