A CPC test report is indeed a "passport" for these children's products to enter the US market. Since stickers may come into direct contact with children's skin or even be accidentally ingested, the safety testing process cannot be taken lightly. The complete process for obtaining an Amazon CPC test report for stickers:
I. Core Testing Standards and Scope of Application
Mandatory Standard Combination (Required for Sticker Products):
ASTM F963-23 (US Toy Safety Standard, including physical and mechanical properties + chemical substance limits)
CPSIA Act (Lead content ≤100ppm, total phthalates ≤0.1%)
16 CFR Part 1501 (Small parts testing; if the sticker contains detachable small parts, it must pass through a 31.75mm test tube)
Additional Testing for Special Scenarios:
Containing adhesive coatings/inks → VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and skin irritation must be tested.
Fluorescent/glow-in-the-dark stickers → Additional testing for radioactive substances (such as radium-226 limits)
II. 6-Step Processing Procedure (with special requirements for sticker products)
1. Sample and Document Preparation
Sample Requirements:
3-5 complete sets of finished products (including packaging, instructions, and adhesive backing paper)
Different sizes/patterns/colors must be submitted separately (e.g., cartoon stickers and letter stickers require independent testing).
If a plastic carrier is included (e.g., PVC release paper), the material CAS number must be separately indicated (e.g., PVC CAS 9002-86-2).
Required Documents:
Product BOM (must specify adhesive composition, e.g., acrylic adhesive)
Design drawings (indicating sticker thickness and adhesive backing area)
Warning label sample (e.g., "Not suitable for children under 3 years old")
2. Choosing a CPSC Accredited Laboratory
Accreditation Verification: The laboratory must provide a CPSC authorization number (can be verified on the CPSC website).
Recommended Institution: Dezeway (No. 1552)
Avoidance: Beware of laboratories offering "guaranteed pass" results; ensure they can issue test reports including product images (as required by Amazon's new regulations in 2025).
3. Test Item Confirmation and Quotation
| Basic Testing Package | Sticker-Specific Additional Testing
| ASTM F963 Physical and Chemical Tests | Skin Irritation of Adhesive Coatings (ISO 10993)
| CPSIA Lead and Phthalate Emissions | VOC Emissions from Adhesives (ASTM D6886)
4. Key Laboratory Testing Steps
Physical Tests:
Peak Test (using a 1.0mm sharpness probe)
Peel Strength (≥1.5 N/cm, to prevent children from accidentally tearing off small parts)
Chemical Tests:
Lead Migration (immersion in 4% acetic acid for 24 hours, ICP-MS detection)
Phytaldehyde Emissions (GC-MS testing for 6 items: DEHP, DBP, etc.)
5. CPC Certificate Preparation Points
Must include 8 core pieces of information (all are required):
1. Product Name: Children's Cartoon Stickers (Model ST-2025)
2. Applicable Regulations: ASTM F963-23, CPSIA 16 CFR 1303
3. US Importer: ABC Trading LLC (Address + Phone Number, Overseas Warehouse Address Available if Importer Unavailable)
4. Production Date: March 2025 (Guangdong, China)
5. Test Report Number: SGS-25-0012345
6. Laboratory Information: SGS (CPSC Lab ID 1223)
7. Contact Person Signature: Electronic Signature or Handwritten Scan
8. Issuance Date: April 1, 2025
6. Amazon Upload Material List
CPC Certificate (PDF format, must be stamped with the laboratory's official seal)
Complete Test Report (including test patterns and sample photos)
Product Image (must clearly show warning labels and age markings)
III. Common Failures and Mitigation Solutions for Stickers
| Reasons for Failure | Solutions
| Excessive Formaldehyde Residue in Adhesive | Use Formaldehyde-Free Adhesive (e.g., Water-Based Acrylic Glue)
| Small Parts Falling Off (e.g., 3D Sticker Accessories) | Use Hot Melt Adhesive for Fixing, Tensile Strength Test ≥90N
| Insufficient thickness of packaging plastic bags | Use PE bags ≥0.038mm thick, and print a "Suffocation Warning" label.
IV. Time and Cost Reference
Testing Cycle: Regular 5-7 working days (chemical testing requires 48-hour immersion), expedited 3 working days (cost +50%)
Report Validity: 1 year (if product formula/production process remains unchanged)
Renewal Reminder: Phthalate testing must be updated annually (required by the new regulations in 2025).
