U.S. Toy Safety Certification Testing

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) passed the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) in 2008, imposing numerous regulatory responsibilities on manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and exporters of consumer products, particularly toys and children's products. Toys and children's products entering the United States must comply with CPSIA product safety requirements and undergo testing by CPSC-recognized laboratories. These tests result in the issuance of a Children's Product Certificate (CPC) or a General Certificate of Conformity (GPC), which certifies that the products meet applicable federal regulations and mandatory safety standards. Where feasible, permanent tracking information must be affixed to the products and their packaging.

China’s JJR Laboratory is an independent third-party testing and certification laboratory recognized by the CPSC. Our testing capabilities not only cover the requirements of CPSIA but also extend to other regulatory testing requirements, such as ASTM F963 for toys and children's products.
