CPC certification is a children's product safety certificate that applies to all products primarily intended for children aged 12 and under. Amazon in the United States requires all children's toys and products to provide a children's product CPC certificate.
1、 Basic cognition
Dolls belong to the toy category aimed at children aged 12 and under. When sold on Amazon US, CPC certification must be obtained, which requires the issuance of CPC certificates based on third-party laboratory testing results recognized by CPSC. Non compliant products will be taken down by the platform, and in severe cases, account funds may be frozen or even face legal risks.
2、 Detailed processing procedure
1. Preliminary preparation
1. Choose a compliance testing agency: It is necessary to choose a third-party laboratory officially recognized by the CPSC in the United States, such as Dezewei CPC number: 1552. Priority should be given to selecting an agency that can provide testing reports and CPC certificates simultaneously to assist in processing services, in order to avoid subsequent process obstacles.
2. Organize application materials: Fill out the official certification application form and provide detailed product information such as the name, brand, material composition, applicable age range, product label, and instruction manual of the doll.
3. Prepare samples for inspection: Provide 1-5 complete doll samples that are consistent with the final sold product, and some testing items require additional disassembly to provide component samples.
2. Formal processing procedure
1. Quotation signing: Contact the testing agency engineer to confirm the matching testing standards and overall cost, sign the service agreement and make payment after confirmation.
2. Sample testing: After sending the samples to the laboratory, the laboratory will conduct a full set of tests according to the corresponding standards. The core testing items of the doll include:
Physical and mechanical properties: detect the presence of sharp edges and small parts that are prone to falling off. Toys with magnets require additional magnetic flux testing to avoid choking risks caused by accidental ingestion by children;
Burning performance: Test the burning speed of the product fabric to meet the flame retardant safety limit requirements in the United States;
Chemical properties: detect the migration of heavy metals such as lead and cadmium, as well as the content of harmful substances such as phthalates and polybrominated biphenyls, to ensure compliance with CPSIA regulatory limits;
Tracking label verification: Confirm that the product has a compliance traceability label, including manufacturer name, production batch, and other traceable information.
3. Obtain testing report: The regular testing cycle is 5-7 working days. After passing the test, the laboratory will issue a formal testing report. Some institutions support issuing a draft report for you to confirm details first.
4. Issuing CPC certificate: The CPC certificate is issued in the name of a domestic manufacturer or importer in the United States (cross-border sellers act as importers), and third-party laboratories can assist in drafting it. The certificate must include the following contents:
The product name and detailed description of the doll;
Matching compliance regulations: such as ASTM F963-17/23 Toy Safety Standard, CPSIA Total Lead and Phthalate Restrictions, and 16CFR related rules;
Name, address, and contact phone number of the manufacturer/importer;
Product production date (accurate to year/month) and production address (accurate to city);
The time and address of the testing, or the corresponding official testing report number.
3. Amazon backend submission and subsequent maintenance
Submit the unmodified original inspection report and CPC certificate to the Amazon backend, while ensuring that the age classification indicated on the product detail page is consistent with the inspection report, and adding corresponding danger warnings, such as a small component suffocation warning.
If there are any changes in the material or design of the plush toys, or if corresponding regulations are updated, it is necessary to conduct new testing and update the CPC certificate, in response to Amazon's irregular compliance inspections.
3、 Cost Description
The CPC certification fee for regular plush toys is usually around 1000-2000 yuan. If the material composition of the doll is complex and there are more testing items, additional fees need to be calculated.
