Listing children's electronic toys on Amazon US is subject to extremely strict review by Amazon's CPC (Certificate of Compliance) process. Incorrect steps or incomplete documentation will directly lead to listing removal.
Complete Step-by-Step Guide:
Key Points
1. CPC stands for "Certificate": A declaration document you issue yourself based on a test report.
2. The test report is "Evidence": It must be issued by a third-party laboratory accredited by the CPSC.
3. Amazon Review: Primarily reviews whether your CPC certificate and corresponding test report are complete, valid, and consistent.
Step 1: Confirm Product Definition and Applicable Standards (Most Crucial Preparation)
Children's electronic toys must meet the dual requirements of "Children's Products" and "Electronic and Electrical Products."
Main Applicable Standards: US Toy Safety Standards ASTM F963-17 / ASTM F963-23 (Latest Version): This is the core standard, covering physical and mechanical properties, flammability, heavy metal migration (lead, cadmium, etc.), etc. CPSIA (Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act):
Lead content limit: Total lead content in all accessible parts ≤ 100 ppm.
Phytidine limit: Content of 8 specific phthalates (such as DEHP, DBP, BBP, etc.) ≤ 0.1%. Other applicable electrical and electronic standards:
FCC Part 15 (Electromagnetic Compatibility): Ensures the toy does not interfere with other devices.
Lithium-ion battery standards (if applicable): Such as UL 4200A, for toys containing button batteries.
Determine age group: Based on the toy's design, function, and packaging, determine whether it is for 0-3 years, 3-6 years, or 6-12 years. Age group directly affects the rigor of testing (such as small parts testing).
Step Two: Select a CPSC-accredited third-party laboratory for testing.
This is an indispensable and crucial step.
1. Find a laboratory: Choose a qualified laboratory accredited by Amazon (such as Dezeway CPC No.: 1552). 1. Ensure the laboratory's accreditation is verifiable on the CPSC website and that it explicitly tests ASTM F963 and CPSIA.
2. Provide Samples and Information: Send a sample of the final product (in intact packaging, consistent with its retail condition). Provide detailed product information: product name, model, age group, bill of materials, instructions, etc. Communicate with the laboratory to determine a complete testing protocol that covers all applicable standards.
3. Pay Fees and Await Report: After testing, the laboratory will issue a detailed test report. Carefully verify the product information, standards, dates, and results on the report (must be PASS).
Step Three: Based on the compliant report, draft and issue a CPC certificate.
If you are the manufacturer (or brand owner), you can issue the CPC yourself. If your company is not in the United States, it is usually issued by the U.S. importer. The certificate must be in English.
The CPC certificate must include the following information (Amazon's key checks):
1. Product name and description.
2. A list of all applicable children's product safety rules/regulations (must include: ASTM F963-XX, CPSIA lead and phthalates, etc.).
3. Name, address, and contact information of the importer or U.S. manufacturer.
4. Contact information for the U.S. company verifying product compliance.
5. Product manufacturing date and location (city, country).
6. Product testing date and location (city, country).
7. Name, address, and contact information of the CPSC-accredited third-party laboratory conducting the testing.
8. Name, position, signature, and date of the issuer.
【Important Reminder】: All information on the CPC (product name, model, laboratory name, testing standards, date) must be completely consistent with the test report.
Step Four: Prepare and Submit Amazon Review Documents
In the Amazon Seller Central, in the compliance information section for the relevant product, or when you receive an Amazon review request, you need to submit:
1. CPC certificate (.pdf format).
2. Corresponding third-party test report (.pdf format, full text). 3. Product images (including packaging, labels, warnings, etc.).
4. Other documents that may be required: If the product contains button batteries, a diagram of the battery compartment compliance warning label is required.
Step 5: Ensure the product itself is compliant (physical inspection)
In addition to documents, the product itself must:
1. Have a permanent traceability label: This must include manufacturer information, production date, batch number, etc., for traceability.
2. Have safety warning labels: Such as small parts warning (for ages 3-6), choking hazard warning, etc., and must be in English.
3. Battery compartment safety (if applicable): It must require screws or special tools to open to prevent children from accidentally removing the button batteries.
Common reasons for failure (avoiding pitfalls)
1. Inadequate laboratory accreditation: Test reports are not issued by CPSC-accredited laboratories.
2. Incorrect or incomplete testing standards: For example, electronic toys have only undergone FCC testing, not ASTM F963 and CPSIA testing.
3. Inconsistent Information: Product information (model, product name) does not match between the CPC, test report, and Amazon backend listing.
4. Missing Certificate Format/Content: The CPC is missing any mandatory information (especially US importer information or laboratory information).
5. Expired Report: Amazon tends to accept test reports within 1-2 years; older reports may not be accepted.
Summary Flowchart:
Confirm product standards and age groups → Submit samples to a CPSC-accredited laboratory for testing (ASTM F963 + CPSIA + FCC, etc.) → Obtain a qualified test report → Draft a complete CPC certificate based on the report → Ensure the product has tracking labels and warnings → Submit the CPC and test report to Amazon for review.
