When toddler backpacks are sold on Amazon's US site, CPC testing is usually required. This is because Amazon US has strict safety requirements for products sold to children to ensure that these products do not pose potential health risks to children. When children's backpacks are tested for CPC (Children's Product Certificate) in the United States, the following testing items are mainly involved:
1. Restricted substance detection
Purpose: To ensure that toddler backpacks are free of harmful substances and chemicals that may be harmful to children's health.
Test content: Mainly detects heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, and harmful chemicals such as phthalates. The content of these substances must be strictly controlled within acceptable safety limits.
2. Physical and mechanical performance testing
Purpose: To evaluate the structural strength, durability and safety of toddler backpacks to prevent damage or injury resulting from normal use or reasonably foreseeable use conditions.
Test content: including tension test, impact test, squeeze test, etc. to simulate the stress of the backpack in different usage scenarios to ensure that the backpack can maintain its integrity and functionality.
3. Flammability test
Purpose: To evaluate the safety of young children's backpacks in extreme situations such as fires, and to ensure that backpack materials are not likely to cause fires or burns.
Test content: Test the burning performance of backpack materials, usually including horizontal burning test and vertical burning test.
4. Small parts detection
Purpose: To prevent small parts from falling off or being easily swallowed by children, causing suffocation and other dangers.
Inspection content: Check whether there are small parts on the backpack, such as zippers, buttons, decorations, etc., and confirm whether these parts meet the requirements of toy safety standards such as American ASTM F963-16. Particular attention needs to be paid to the firmness of small parts to prevent them from falling off and being eaten by children.
5. Sharp edge and tip detection
Purpose: To ensure that the backpack will not cause injuries such as scratches or punctures to children.
Inspection content: Check whether the edges and tips of the backpack are rounded to prevent sharp parts from causing harm to children.
6. Electrical performance test (if applicable)
Purpose: If a toddler's backpack 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.
Test content: including testing of voltage, current, insulation resistance and other parameters to ensure the safety and reliability of electronic components.
7. Other specific tests
Depending on the specific type and characteristics of the backpack, other specific tests may be required, such as weight-bearing capacity test, waterproof performance test, etc. These tests are designed to fully evaluate the safety and functionality of the backpack.
