When plush toys are sold on Amazon, they must comply with the regulations of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and require a Children's Product Certificate (CPC). CPC is based on the test results of a third-party laboratory accepted by the CPSC, proving that the product complies with all applicable children's product safety rules. The following are common test items for plush toys:
1. Physical and mechanical properties
- Small parts test: Ensure that there are no small parts in the toy that are easy to fall off to prevent children from accidentally ingesting or choking.
- Tensile test: Test the tensile strength of plush toys to ensure that they will not be easily damaged under normal use.
- Swallowing test: Especially for children under 3 years old, test whether the toy has the risk of being swallowed.
- Lock test: Test whether the locks used in plush toys are easy to open, which may cause children to accidentally choke.
2. Chemical substances
- Restricted substance detection: Such as the content of harmful heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, and mercury.
- Phthalates: Detect whether the toy contains excessive amounts of phthalates, which may be harmful to children's health.
- Total lead test: Ensures that the lead content in the toy's surface coating and substrate does not exceed the specified limit.
3. Flammability
- Flame retardancy test: Ensures that plush toys are not easy to catch fire or ignite other items during use, which is very important for preventing fires and burns.
4. Toxicity test
- Toxicity test: Ensures that the toy materials are not toxic to children when they come into contact with the skin or are ingested.
5. Electric toy safety standards
- 16 CFR Part 1505: If plush toys contain electronic components, they must also comply with the electric toy safety standards.
6. Other related standards
- ASTM F963: US toy standard, covering all toys entering the US market and including mechanical, chemical and flammability specifications.
- 16 CFR Part 1501: Small parts standard, ensuring that there are no small parts in the toy that are easy to fall off.
- 16 CFR Part 1511: Pacifier safety standard, although mainly for pacifiers, it sometimes also applies to certain types of plush toys.
CPC certificate content
- Detailed description of the product
- References to each CPSC children's product safety rule
- U.S. importer or manufacturer information of the product
- Contact information of the holder of the test results supporting the certificate
- Product production date and location
- Testing time and location
Through the above test items, it can be ensured that plush toys will not cause potential risks and harm to children during use. When preparing a CPC certificate, it is important to ensure that all test items meet the relevant standards and are tested by a third-party laboratory approved by the CPSC.
