Children's electronic games fall under the category of children's toys with electronic components. Obtaining an Amazon US CPC test report requires following a specific process and meeting the special testing requirements for electronic toys:
I. Preliminary Preparation: Document and Sample Preparation
1. Required Documents
Product BOM (must list the CAS numbers of all electronic components and plastic materials, such as PCB circuit boards and ABS shells)
Design Drawings (showing the dimensions of small parts, battery compartment structure, and circuit insulation protection design)
Product Instruction Manual (including usage age, battery installation instructions, and safety warnings)
Electronic Component Specifications: Battery model (e.g., LR44 1.5V button battery), charger parameters (if with charging function)
2. Sample Requirements
3-5 complete sets of finished products (including packaging and instruction manual). Different colors/models must be submitted separately.
If the product contains a removable battery, a separate battery sample is required (for battery safety testing).
II. Selecting a Compliant Testing Laboratory
1. **Qualification Requirements:** A third-party laboratory accredited by the CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) must be selected. The laboratory's accreditation number can be verified through the CPSC website (e.g., Dezeway CPC number: 1552).
2. **Recommended Type:** Prioritize institutions with experience in testing electronic toys, possessing testing qualifications according to 16 CFR Part 1505 (Electrical Toy Safety Standard).
III. **Test Item Confirmation and Quotation:**
Children's electronic games require coverage of three core testing categories:
| Test Category | Applicable Standard | Core Test Content
| Basic Toy Safety | ASTM F963-23 | Small parts swallowing risk testing, sharp edge detection, structural strength testing (e.g., button and handle compression resistance)
| Chemical Safety | CPSIA (2025 new regulation) | Lead content ≤100ppm, total phthalates ≤0.1% (focus on testing PVC parts such as plastic handles and buttons)
| Electrical Safety | 16 CFR Part 1505 | Electric shock protection (insulation testing of exposed metal parts), battery safety (overcharge/short circuit/drop testing), charger compliance (UL60950-1 required if charging function is included)
Price Reference: Basic package (including all the above items) approximately ¥1000-2000, specific pricing depends on product complexity
IV. Laboratory Testing and Report Issuance
1. Testing Cycle: Regular 5-7 business days, expedited service can be shortened to 3-5 business days (expedited service fee applies)
2. Report Requirements:
Must be in English, indicating the CPSC accredited laboratory number and complete test data
Must clearly indicate the corresponding product model and age rating (e.g., "Suitable for children aged 6-12")
V. CPC Certificate Preparation (Amazon Audit Core)
The certificate must be issued by the US importer (or the seller under the name of the registered company of the store) and must include 8 key pieces of information:
1. Product Name + Description (e.g., "Portable video game console for children, including button controller and LCD screen")
2. Applicable Regulations List: ASTM F963-23 + CPSIA + 16 CFR Part 1505
3. US Importer Information (Name, Address, Phone Number, must match Amazon backend)
4. Product Manufacturing Date (accurate to month and year) + Manufacturing Location (e.g., October 2025, Guangdong, China)
5. Test Report Number + Issuance Date
6. Third-Party Laboratory Information (Name, Address, CPSC Authorization Number)
7. Company Contact Person's Signature (electronic signature acceptable)
8. Certificate Issuance Date
VI. Amazon Platform Upload and Review
1. Upload Location: Seller Central → Inventory → Manage Inventory → Corresponding ASIN → Edit → Compliance Documents. Both the test report and CPC certificate must be uploaded.
2. Review Points:
The product model and age classification in the certificate and report must completely match.
The certificate must be in English; a Chinese version is not acceptable.
The battery specifications for electronic components must match the product details page description.
Common Pitfalls to Avoid
1. 1. Do not choose non-CPSC accredited laboratories for testing; otherwise, Amazon's review will be rejected outright.
2. If the product includes a charging function, the charger must provide a separate UL60950-1 certification and cannot be combined with the game console test.
3. Test reports are not permanently valid: If the product structure, materials, or manufacturing process changes, retesting and an updated report are required.
