"If they have a legitimate and well managed supply chain, it's not actually that difficult. " I don't necessarily disagree, but this is also really hard in practice for a lot of small manufacturers. I happen to know a bunch about the childrens toy one for various reasons, so i'll go with that one. About 30-50% of wood finish manufacturers certify the relevant things for their finishes, but the wood coatings market is not a huge one (They make their living off auto and oem coatings, etc), and so unless you are using thousands of gallons a year, you are using a local distributor. What you can get there will be hit and miss. In fact, it may not be possible to get a certified finish at all in your area. (These are not paints, which are widely available). Personally, i've had to order finishes from across the country in some cases, and i live in northern california (not exactly a small area :P). (This wasn't for childrens toys, but it was to meet a similar regulation) In very large markets, you don't have this problem because the components themselves tend to be plentiful. Additionally, you are often required to test the combined product, not just the components.
