Certification Introduction

The English name of the CPC certificate is Childs Products Certificate (ie: Children's Products Certificate). Suitable for children's products under 12 years old, such as toys, cradles, waist stools, children's clothing, etc. If it is produced locally in the United States, the manufacturer is responsible for providing the certificate, and if it is produced in other countries, the importer is responsible for providing the certificate. CPC refers to a form equivalent to its own declaration, which then reflects product information, as well as product testing standards and items that have been tested.

The American Amazon website requires all children's toys and children's products to provide Children's Product Certificate (CPC certificate for short). CPC is similar to the COC certificate. When children-related product categories are launched on Amazon America, toys and baby products are included. It will be required to issue a CPC certificate, otherwise it will not be sold. Although it is called a "certificate", CPC certification is not issued by any official agency, nor does it need to be filed with government agencies. It is essentially a "guarantee" drafted and fully responsible by the manufacturer/importer, stating that its products comply with all applicable local regulations in the United States. Children's product safety regulations and other laws and regulations.

When the Amazon platform launches some categories of products (such as children's toys, baby products, etc.), merchants will be required to upload CPC certificates at the same time, and related children's products without CPC certificates cannot be sold online.

At present, the export of children's toy products and maternal and infant products to the United States requires CPC certification and CPSIA report for customs clearance. Foreign online merchants Amazon, eBay, and AliExpress also require Chinese-made children's products, toys, and maternal and child products to apply for CPC children's product safety certificates.

When testing, the CPSIA standard test needs to be issued by a laboratory authorized and accredited by the CPSC Consumer Product Safety Association of the United States. The authorization can be checked on the CPSC website. In addition, because the cpc certificate test involves many chemical tests, it is related to the material of the product. The more materials the product has, the higher the cost. According to the rules of chemical testing, different colors of the same material also need to be tested separately. Therefore, it is recommended that sellers directly inspect raw materials to avoid repeated charges and useless operations.
