We will provide A-Z services for developing Children’s Product Certificate (CPC)
A Children’s Product Certificate (CPC) is a document that certifies that a children’s product meets toy safety standards. The purpose of a CPC is to ensure that children’s products do not pose any hazards to children, such as choking, suffocation, or strangulation. CPCs are required for certain types of children’s products and must be issued by a third-party testing laboratory accredited by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
CPCs are important for children’s safety because they ensure that products meet federal safety standards. Without a CPC, you cannot legally sell certain children’s products in the United States. If a child is injured or killed by a product that does not have a CPC, the manufacturer could be held liable for damages. CPCs also protect importers and retailers from legal liability by ensuring that they are selling safe products. This is why it’s important to have proper quality control of toy products in place.
There are several types of children’s products that require a CPC, including:
- Toys and games
- Children’s Clothing
- Cribs and mattresses
- Strollers and car seats
- Children’s furniture
- Baby walkers and jumpers
- Children’s Jewelry
- Pacifiers and teethers etc.
Obtaining a Children’s Product Certificate involves several steps.
First, your product must be tested by a third-party testing laboratory accredited by the CPSC. The laboratory will perform various tests to ensure that your product meets federal safety standards, such as:
- Physical and mechanical testing to ensure the product is structurally sound and does not pose any hazards, such as sharp edges or small parts that can be swallowed
- Chemical testing to ensure that the product does not contain any harmful substances, such as lead or phthalates
- Flammability testing to ensure that the product is not a fire hazard
Once your product passes all the required tests, we will issue a CPC after getting the results from lab. Please note CPC is required for every shipment.
