Children's toys and play equipment are products primarily intended for children aged 12 and under. Selling them on Amazon US requires CPC (Children's Product Certificate) certification and corresponding testing reports. The following is a guide to obtaining this certification:
I. Core Compliance Requirements
1. Testing Entity Requirements
Testing must be conducted by a third-party laboratory accredited by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) (DEZEW Testing CNAS Registration No.: L8083). A list of accredited laboratories can be found on the CPSC website to ensure laboratory compliance.
2. Mandatory Testing Standards
ASTM F963-23 (Toy Safety Standard Consumer Safety Specification), covering physical and mechanical properties, flammability, and toxic substance content;
CPSIA regulations: including testing for total lead and phthalate content in children's products;
Toys for children under 3 years old (36 months) must comply with 16CFR 1501 small parts requirements to avoid choking risks;
Track labeling requirements (Section 14(a)(5) of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Act) or Section 103 of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act. II. Application Process
1. Preliminary Preparation
Determine the applicable age range for children and prepare the corresponding number of product samples (the specific number needs to be confirmed with the laboratory);
Collect product information: sample name, product model, applicable child age, country of origin/exporting country, manufacturer/importer information (name, address, product manufacturing date), applicant information (name, address, responsible person, email, etc.).
2. Formal Application Steps
1. Submit the certification application form and provide the above-mentioned product information, confirming the testing items with the laboratory;
2. Send the samples to a CPSC-accredited laboratory;
3. The laboratory conducts testing, with a standard cycle of 5-7 working days. Special items require separate confirmation;
4. After passing the test, you can choose to have the laboratory assist in drafting the CPC certificate, or issue the certificate yourself based on the test report;
5. Obtain the official test report and CPC certificate, upload them to the Amazon platform, and await review.
III. Key Considerations for Amazon Review
1. Product Detail Page Compliance
The manufacturer's recommended minimum age for use (in months) must be stated, and the minimum age rating indicated on the detail page must be greater than or equal to the age rating on the test report (e.g., if the test is suitable for a 36-month-old child, the age rating on the detail page cannot be lower than 36 months).
If the product contains small parts, a compliant warning symbol (triangle with exclamation mark) and corresponding warning text must be added to the CPSIA warning field on the detail page.
2. Required Fields for CPC Certificate
Product name and detailed description;
Verifiable information about the manufacturer/U.S. importer (name, address, phone number);
Product manufacturing date (accurate to month and year) and manufacturing address (accurate to city);
Testing time and location, and the name and address of the CPSC-accredited laboratory;
Clearly list all regulations and standards the product complies with (e.g., ASTM F963-23, CPSIA total lead + phthalates, etc.).
3. Other Requirements
Tracking labels must be affixed to the product or packaging, including traceability information such as the manufacturer's name, address, and contact information;
The result for each requirement in the test report must be "Pass" or "Not Applicable." Failure to do so will result in immediate rejection by Amazon.
IV. Consequences of Failure to Obtain Certification
Amazon will forcibly remove the corresponding listing until a compliant CPC certification is submitted;
US Customs will seize uncertified goods during random inspections. Certification is required for release, and demurrage fees may apply.
