Amazon requires that all children's toys and products sold on its platform comply with applicable federal, state and local regulations. In particular, for toys for children aged 12 and under, Amazon requires sellers to provide a Children’s Product Certificate (CPC). The CPC is a document that certifies that a product complies with all applicable children's product safety rules.
For children's toys such as dolls, Amazon's CPC testing standards include but are not limited to the following points:
1. ASTM F963-17 – This is the American consumer safety specification standard for toy safety, covering the mechanical and physical properties, flammability, toxicity and other requirements of toys.
2. CPSIA – Restrictions involving lead and phthalates, which require that the amount of lead in children’s products must not exceed certain limits, and phthalates (certain types of plasticizers) are banned in children’s toys use.
3. Tracking label requirements – According to Section 14(a)(5) of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Act, children’s products must have tracking labels that include the name of the manufacturer or private label trader, the location and date of production of the product, and details of the manufacturing process. (such as batch or run number) and other information that helps determine the specific origin of the product.
Additionally, Amazon requires sellers to declare potential hazards (such as choking hazards caused by small parts) and add applicable hazard warnings to product listings (on product detail pages) and product labels.
To get the CPC, you need to follow these steps:
1. Send your toy products to a CPSC-accredited laboratory for testing.
2. Create a CPC based on the test results. The document should include product description, list of applicable safety rules, manufacturer and importer information, testing laboratory information, etc.
3. Submit CPC to Amazon to list and sell your products on the platform.
Please note that failure to provide required compliance documentation may result in the suspension of your product listings. Therefore, it is very important to ensure that your product meets all applicable safety standards and has a valid CPC.
