I think you are right. How do you get the certification? Do you just contact the Mfg?

That's what I figured is the only way to find out if they have done any testing and are lead and phthalate free.
Fortunately Titebond (Franklin International) is an easy phone call away, and they have always answered my questions about glue in a very friendly and quickly responsive manner. Unfortunately, I would have shared the letter re: Titebond glues, but the transmittal letter said not to share it's contents. One of those letters that say it is intended only for the specific named recipient. Anyway glue info is not needed until February and the CPSIA specs are still changing..
IMO, companies are not going to go to the expense of having their products tested unless there is a foreseen demand for their product in manufacture of items used by children. Paint companies may have a harder time getting around to this testing.
