Children's stickers do need to undergo CPC testing when sold on Amazon's US site. CPC testing is based on the relevant regulations of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to ensure the safety of children's products. According to Amazon's requirements, all products, including children's stickers, that are primarily targeted at children aged 12 and under must provide a CPC certificate, otherwise the products will not be sold on the Amazon platform.
CPC testing of children’s stickers needs to be carried out in accordance with the relevant regulations of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), which mainly includes the following test items:
1. Physical and mechanical performance testing: This includes testing of the strength, stability, sharp edges and points of the product, as well as testing of small parts to ensure that the product will not cause harm during use or be swallowed by children.
2. Flammability testing: Assess a product’s burning rate and smoke production to ensure the product does not pose additional risks to children in the event of a fire.
3. Chemical substance testing: Test the content of heavy metals (such as lead, cadmium, etc.), harmful substances (such as formaldehyde, benzene, etc.), phthalates, etc. in the product to ensure that the product will not cause harm to children's health.
4. Specific element migration test: According to standards such as GB 6675.1-2014 "Toy Safety Part 1: Basic Specifications", the migratable elements in the stickers are tested to ensure that they will not cause chemical harm to children.
5. Microbial testing: Detect the content of microorganisms in the product to ensure product hygiene and safety.
6. Logo and label testing: Ensure that products have the correct warning labels and age markings to alert consumers to potential safety risks.
7. Other specific tests: Depending on the specific characteristics of the product, other specific tests may be required, such as plasticizer testing, volatile organic compound (VOC) testing, etc.
When conducting CPC testing, you should ensure that the laboratory you choose is accredited by the CPSC to ensure the reliability and compliance of the test results. Manufacturers or importers should ensure that the data and information provided are accurate to avoid products that fail to pass inspection or be put on shelves due to inconsistent information. If the sample tests pass, the laboratory will issue a CPC certificate, which is proof that the product meets relevant safety requirements and is also a certificate that the product is legally sold on the Amazon platform.
