| Know before using | The portal does not decide whether a product requires certification, identify the correct rules or certificate data, classify an entry, replace the current 16 CFR part 1110 text, or reconcile a filing to an actual shipment. Effective dates and workflows differ by entry route; use current CPSC, CBP, customs, product-safety, and legal review. | The interface and plan description do not prove tester reach, completion, feedback quality, fit validity, export quality, uptime, support, or suitability for an established release process. Measurements and photos can be sensitive personal data. Run a non-critical pilot, review the current privacy and service terms, define consent and photo rights, test exports and deletion, and keep pattern approval and release responsibility with the designer. | This is a member referral directory, not a Stitch Authority roster or approval. The observed result count can change and is not a practitioner census. ASDP states that it makes no representations, warranties, or guarantees and assumes no responsibility for members' products or services. Membership, a code of ethics, a profile, a patternmaking category, or stated referral availability does not establish identity, credentials, experience, current availability, capacity, insurance, price, accessibility, workmanship, file compatibility, schedule, or project fit. Confirm those points, references, scope, samples, terms, and remedies directly. |

| What the source establishes | CPSC operates the eFiling portal with role-specific importer, broker, applicability, Product Registry, regulated-product, laboratory, ACE, FAQ, video, and document-library routes. The certificate final rule took effect July 8, 2026 for covered non-FTZ products, with separate timing for covered FTZ entries. | Pattern Testers currently offers application intake, tester selection, feedback, photos, approvals, issue tracking, revisions, a reusable tester directory, and release deadlines. The public pricing page shows a limited free plan and paid Pro and Business tiers. Its June 2026 privacy policy lists names, email addresses, measurements, photos, feedback, application history, and assignments among the data processed. | ASDP's public directory searches members currently accepting referrals by location and professional specialty. At the July 26, 2026 check, its Patternmaking & Related Services filter returned 15 opted-in profiles with specialties, service-location text, profile or contact routes, and some remote-service notes. The page identifies the population as association members in good standing. |
