This is a complete guide to obtaining Amazon CPC certification for electric car toys. Focusing on practical application, this guide covers the entire process from initial preparation to certificate acquisition, with particular emphasis on the electrical safety testing requirements specific to electric toys.
I. Initial Preparation: Clarifying Product Attributes and Document Checklist
1. Product Attribute Confirmation
Core Judgment Criteria
Electric car toys belong to the category of electric toys and must simultaneously meet ASTM F963-17 (Toy Safety Standard) and 16 CFR Part 1505 (Electric Toy Safety Standard).
Age Group Requirements
0-3 years (under 36 months): Requires additional small parts tensile strength test (90N without detachment), and packaging film thickness ≥0.038mm to prevent suffocation.
3-12 years: Small parts are allowed, but age warnings must be clearly marked (font ≥4-point boldface).
2. Sample and Technical Document Preparation
| Material Type | Specific Requirements
| Sample Quantity | 3-5 complete sets of finished products (including battery, charger, instruction manual, and packaging), which must be consistent with mass production.
| Technical Documents | Material list (e.g., ABS/PVC composition), circuit diagram, BOM (Bill of Materials), battery specifications (e.g., UN38.3 report for lithium batteries).
| Supplementary Documents | Paint/Ink MSDS report, charger UL certification report (if including charging function).
II. Selection of Testing Institution: Matching Qualifications and Standards
Core Qualification Requirements
Must possess CPSC-accredited third-party testing laboratory qualifications (the list can be found on the CPSC website) (e.g., Dezewei Testing CNAS registration number: L8083).
III. Core Testing Process: Phased Testing Focus
1. Mechanical and Physical Performance Testing (ASTM F963-17)
Small Part Testing: Parts with a diameter <31.75mm must pass a 90N tensile test without detaching (for products aged 0-3 years).
Sharp Edge Testing: Metal parts must pass a 1.35mm sharpness test; wooden parts must be sanded.
Structural Strength Testing: Body, wheels, and other parts must withstand 500N static pressure without damage.
2. Electrical Safety Testing (16 CFR Part 1505)
Electric Shock Protection: The circuit must pass a 24V voltage test, and exposed metal parts must be insulated.
Battery Safety: Lithium batteries must pass overcharge, short circuit, and drop tests (refer to UN38.3 standard).
Charger Safety: If it includes a charging function, the charger must comply with UL 60950-1 standard.
3. Chemical Safety Testing (CPSIA)
Heavy Metal Migration: Testing for 8 elements including lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd), with a lead limit of ≤100mg/kg.
Phytaldehyde Esters: The total content of 6 phthalates, including DEHP and DBP, must be ≤0.1% (especially for PVC components).
IV. Timeline and Costs: Standard and Expedited Options
| Project | Standard Process | Expedited Service | Cost Range
| Testing Timeline | 5-7 business days | 3-5 business days (+50% fee) | ¥800-2000 (per project)
| Retesting Cost | 50% fee for non-conformities | No expedited channel | Depends on the complexity of rectification
V. Report Acquisition and Subsequent Compliance
1. Report Review Key Points
The report must include the CPSC accredited laboratory logo, testing standard (ASTM F963-17 + 16 CFR Part 1505), and age group determination criteria.
Electrical tests must clearly list the specific values for each item (e.g., voltage, current), not just mark "pass".
2. Amazon Platform Upload Requirements
File Format: Upload the CPC certificate and test report in PDF format (the report must be in English).
Information Completeness: The certificate must include information about the US importer (name, address, telephone number), product model, and production date (accurate to month and year).
VI. Common Failure Points and Prevention Solutions
1. Battery Safety Test Failure: Prioritize purchasing lithium batteries that have passed UN38.3 certification; avoid using inferior batteries.
2. Inadequate Electrical Insulation: Circuit design should include additional insulation layers; exposed metal parts must be covered with insulating material.
3. Small Parts Detachment: Products under 3 years old should use a double-fixing method of "thermal fusion + mechanical clips" (e.g., wheels, battery cover).
