Infant Products US & Canada CPC & SOR Compliance

Amazon US and Amazon Canada have simultaneously included infant sleep products in the scope of TIC verification. The policy implementation date for both marketplaces is October 14, 2026, and the delisting date for non-compliant products is February 23, 2027.

As an Amazon-authorized TIC service provider with CNAS, CMA, and US CPSC accreditation qualifications, JJR LAB systematically outlines the core differences and unified practical pathways for both the US and Canada marketplaces for you.

US Station: CPSC Framework + ASTM/16 CFR + CPC Certificate

US Station Compliance Logic: Test report issued by a CPSC-accredited third-party laboratory + CPC (Children's Product Certificate) issued by the manufacturer/importer + direct connection verification by the TIC service provider.

Basic Requirements (Common across all categories)

1.cpsia Section 101 (Lead Content)

2.CPSIA Section 108 (Phthalates)

3.CPSA Section 14(a)(5) (Tracking Label)

4.16 CFR Part 1130 (Requirements for Consumer Registration of Durable Infant or Toddler Products)

On this basis, stack the corresponding standards according to product subcategories (product names are consistent with Amazon requirements, please match accordingly):

Canada Station: SOR Regulatory Matrix + Bilingual Labels + Structural Safety

Canada Station does not center around the cpc certificate, but instead requires products to meet a strict combination of multiple SOR regulations based on specific categories and accessories. Different product forms correspond to completely different regulatory "packages" and must be matched item by item.

Below is the regulatory mapping table explicitly required by Amazon Canada (all listed items must be met simultaneously):

Special Reminder

If your product is a convertible or multi-functional product, it must satisfy all requirements for all applicable categories simultaneously, and testing for any category cannot be bypassed on the grounds of a "primary function." For example, a play yard with a changing table and hanging toy accessories must satisfy the stacked requirements of multiple regulations listed above at the same time.

Mandatory Labeling Requirements

Instructions and manuals must be bilingual in English and French; hazard warnings must be permanently attached to the product and packaging and include specific warning phrasing.

US & Canada TIC Verification Comparison & Summary

Crucial Note: CPSC reports from the US Station cannot directly replace SOR testing for the Canada Station. Compliance for both stations must be tested and certified separately; it is recommended to plan schedules holistically and advance both simultaneously.
