PU Ball (Polyurethane Ball) Amazon CPC Testing Project Guide

I. CPC Certification Core Requirements

CPC is Amazon's mandatory compliance certification for children's products. If PU balls are used as children's toys (such as soft sports balls and baby tactile balls), they must meet the following requirements:

1. Applicable standards:

- ASTM F963-23: US Toy Safety Standard (latest version).

- CPSIA: US Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (lead and phthalate restrictions).

2. Certification Scope:

- PU balls for children aged 12 and under must pass third-party laboratory testing and issue CPC certificates.

II. PU Ball CPC Testing Core Projects

1. Physical and Mechanical Performance Test

- Small Parts Test:

Detect whether PU balls may shed small parts (such as surface coating fragments) to prevent swallowing risks (applicable to products for children under 3 years old).

- Tension and torque test:

Simulate children's biting or pulling behavior to ensure that the ball structure is firm (tension ≥ 70N, torque ≥ 0.34N·m).

- Sharp edge and point inspection:

Use a magnifying glass or touch to evaluate whether there are dangerous sharp edges on the surface (must comply with 16 CFR 1500.48/49).

2. Chemical safety test

- Heavy metal migration:

8 elements including lead (Pb≤100 ppm) and cadmium (Cd≤75 ppm) (ASTM F963-23, 8.3.1).

- Phthalates:

6P limit (DEHP, DBP, BBP≤0.1%; DINP, DIDP, DNOP≤0.1%) (CPSIA Section 108).

- Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs):

Some states (such as California) require the total amount of PAHs to be ≤20 ppm (refer to Prop 65).

3. Combustion performance test

- Flame retardancy:

If the PU ball contains fiber or hair decoration (such as plush balls), it must comply with the 16 CFR 1610 textile combustion standard.

4. Labels and warning signs

- Age classification:

Clearly mark the applicable age (such as "3+" or "6+").

- Suffocation warning:

For small parts products, a "Small Parts" warning must be affixed (16 CFR 1500.19).

III. Testing process and compliance points

1. Sample preparation:

- Provide 3-5 finished products (including packaging and labels), which must be exactly the same as the marketed products.

2. Laboratory selection:

- Give priority to CPSC-approved third-party laboratories (such as Dezewei Testing).

3. Reports and certificates:

- After the test is passed, the laboratory will issue a CPC certificate (including manufacturer information, test standards, and result summary).

4. Amazon submission:

- Upload the CPC certificate to the seller backend and ensure that the product ASIN corresponds to the certificate.
