Children's Product Certificate CPC Requirements CPSC

The Children's Product Certificate (CPC), mandated by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), is a safety certification requirement for children's products. It covers physical and mechanical properties, flammability, chemical composition, electrical safety, hygiene, and other relevant aspects.  

Pursuant to Section 14 of the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA) and Title 16 CFR Part 1110, domestic manufacturers and importers must ensure their products pass tests conducted by JJR, a CPSC-accredited third-party laboratory, and obtain a valid CPC before marketing in the U.S.  

Children's products refer to consumer goods designed or intended for use by children. They must comply with applicable safety regulations and children's product safety rules. Each product requires comprehensive testing by a CPSC-accredited laboratory to cover all mandatory test items, with corresponding certification and test reports obtained.
