Plastic toys do need to undergo CPC testing when sold on the Amazon platform. CPC certification is applicable to all products whose main target is children aged 12 and under, including plastic toys. The purpose of CPC certification is to ensure the safety and compliance of children's products in compliance with the regulations of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
The main steps of CPC detection:
1. Determine applicable standards: Plastic toys need to comply with ASTM F963 (Toy Safety Standard) and CPSIA (Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act), the latter mainly involves testing for total lead and phthalate content.
2. Product testing: Prepare a sufficient number of representative samples for testing, including physical and mechanical performance testing, flammability testing, eight heavy metal testing, etc.
3. Obtain a CPC certificate: After the test is completed, the manufacturer or importer needs to issue a CPC statement based on the test report. A CPC statement needs to contain the following elements:
- product information;
- All laws and regulations applicable to the product;
- Importer or manufacturer (in the United States) information, including name, address, and phone number;
- Contact information of the holder of the test results file supporting the certificate;
- Product production date and address;
- The time and address of the inspection or the inspection report on which the certificate is based;
- Third-party testing agency information (CPSC-accredited laboratory).
4. Submit information: Submit the CPC certificate and other relevant information in the Amazon backend, such as 6-sided drawings of product packaging, ASTM and CPSIA test reports, etc.
5. Compliance mark: Make sure there is a compliance mark on the product or packaging, including information such as the manufacturer's name, address and contact information.
6. Pay attention to warning labels: If the product contains small parts or other specific risks, there needs to be corresponding warning labels on the product or packaging.
7. Registration Card: For certain durable baby consumer products, a product registration card may be required so that the manufacturer or retailer can provide recall or other safety information to consumers.
The above steps are the basic process for CPC testing of plastic toys on Amazon to ensure that the product complies with all applicable children's product safety rules and prepare the corresponding CPC certificate for review.
