Introduction to U.S. Children's Product CPC Compliance

The Children’s Product Certificate (CPC)is a mandatory safety certification requirement set by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)for children’s products. These requirements cover physical and mechanical properties, flammability, chemical composition, electrical safety, and hygiene.

According to Section 14 of the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA)and 16 CFR Part 1110, domestic manufacturers and importers must ensure that their products are tested and certified by a CPSC-accepted third-party laboratory. Only with a valid CPC can the product be lawfully sold in the U.S. market.

A children’s productrefers to a consumer product primarily intended for children and must comply with all applicable safety regulations and children’s product safety rules. Each product must undergo comprehensive testing by a CPSC-accredited laboratory, covering all required testing items, and obtain relevant certification and test reports.
