Children's school bags exported to the United States require CPC testing. CPC certification, that is, children's product safety certification, is one of the necessary certifications for children's products exported to the United States. Its purpose is to ensure that products comply with relevant U.S. regulations and standards and ensure product safety.



Children's schoolbags U.S. CPC testing items:

1. Phthalate testing: Test whether the phthalate content in children’s schoolbags meets the requirements of the US CPSC regulations. Phthalates are chemicals that may have an impact on human health, so their content needs to be strictly controlled.

2. Small parts detection: Check whether there are small parts in children's schoolbags, such as zippers, buttons, etc., and confirm whether these parts meet the requirements of the American ASTM F963-16 toy safety standard. This is to prevent small parts from falling off or being easily swallowed by children, causing suffocation and other hazards.

3. Physical and mechanical performance testing: including tensile testing, impact testing, extrusion testing, etc. to evaluate the structural strength, durability and safety of the school bag. These tests ensure that the bag will maintain its integrity and functionality under normal and reasonably foreseeable use.

4. Sharp edge and tip detection: Check children's school bags for sharp edges and tips to ensure that the product will not cause scratches or punctures to children.

5. Combustion performance test: Test whether the combustion performance of children's schoolbags meets the requirements of the US CPSC regulations. This is to evaluate the safety of school bags in extreme situations such as fire.

6. Electrical performance testing: If a children’s schoolbag has electronic components, such as LED lights or charging functions, electrical performance testing is required to ensure that it meets the requirements of relevant U.S. regulations and to avoid safety hazards such as electric shock.

7. Restricted substance testing: carry out limited testing of harmful substances and chemical substances in children’s schoolbags, such as lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, etc. The content of these substances must be strictly controlled within acceptable safety limits.

The main steps and key points of U.S. CPC testing of children’s schoolbags:

1. Understand CPC certification standards: First of all, you need to understand the relevant standards of CPC certification. These standards usually cover the material, structure, safety, etc. of schoolbags. Ensuring that children's schoolbags meet these standards is a prerequisite for testing.

2. Prepare samples and information: Prepare samples of children's schoolbags to be tested, and collect relevant technical documents, material lists, production processes and other information. This information will be used for subsequent testing and certification processes.

3. Choose a certification agency: Choose a certification agency with recognized qualifications in the United States to conduct CPC testing. These institutions usually have professional testing equipment and personnel and can conduct accurate testing in accordance with relevant standards.

4. Submit application and information: Submit the application for CPC certification to the certification agency, and attach the prepared samples and relevant information. The certification body will conduct a preliminary review of the submitted information to ensure the completeness and accuracy of the information.

5. Conduct testing: The certification body will conduct testing on children’s schoolbag samples, including material testing, structural testing, safety performance testing, etc. These tests are designed to evaluate whether school bags meet the relevant standards for CPC certification.

6. Compile a test report: The certification agency will prepare a test report based on the test results, listing in detail the various indicators and test results of the school bag. If the school bag meets the standards, the certification agency will issue a CPC certification.
