Guide to Obtaining an Amazon CPC Test Report for Children's Craft Toys
I. Why is a CPC Required?
Amazon requires all listed children's toys to have a CPC (Children's Product Certificate), a mandatory requirement under US law (CPSIA Act). Products without a CPC certificate will face the following consequences:
Listing removal
Forcible removal of inventory
In severe cases, account suspension.
II. Application Process (5 steps)
Step 1: Confirm Product Testing Standards
Core Testing Standards for Children's Craft Toys:
| Standards | Test Content
| ASTM F963 | US Toy Safety Standards (Mechanical, Physical, Flammable, Chemical)
| CPSIA Section 101 | Lead Content (Substrate ≤ 300 ppm, Surface Coating ≤ 90 ppm)
| CPSIA Section 108 | Phthalate (Limits for 6 Plasticizers)
| 16 CFR Part 1501 | Small Parts Testing (Choking Prevention for Children Under 3 Years)
Special Note for Craft Toys: Pay close attention to the migration of heavy metals and chemicals in materials such as pigments, glues, and clay.
Step 2: Choosing a Compliant Testing Organization
You must choose a CPSC-accredited third-party laboratory.
Common Partner Organizations:
Domestic Partner: Dezeway Testing (CNAS Registration No.: L8083)
Note: Amazon requires reports to be issued by laboratories with ISO 17025 accreditation.
Step 3: Sample Submission and Testing
Sample Quantity: Typically 2-3 sets of finished products per model
Testing Cycle: 5-7 business days for standard products
Cost Range: Approximately 800-2000
Required Documents: Product manual, bill of materials, age label, etc.
Step 4: Issuance of CPC Certificate
After passing the test, a CPC certificate will be issued by the US importer or domestic manufacturer. It must include the following information:
1. Product name, model, and description
2. Applicable regulations and standards (ASTM F963, CPSIA, etc.)
3. Manufacturer/Importer Information (US address)
4. Third-party laboratory information (including CPSC ID number)
5. Test date and issuance date
6. Contact information for the signatory
Step 5: Upload to Amazon Seller Central
Upload the following to the "Compliance" section of the Amazon Seller Central:

III. Key Considerations
Common Pitfalls
1. 1. Lack of US Importer Information: Many Chinese sellers are unaware that CPCs must be issued by a US entity. It is recommended to find a US importer or agent in advance.
2. Incomplete Testing Items: Handmade toys often omit chemical substance testing, especially the chemical section of EN 71-9 corresponding to ASTM.
3. Small Part Testing: Small parts such as beads and buttons must undergo 16 CFR 1501 testing.
4. Ambiguous Age Labeling: The applicable age must be clearly labeled to avoid being classified as a toy for children under 3 years old, thus increasing testing requirements.
Cost Reduction Techniques:
Combined Testing of Series Models: Products with similar appearance and structure can apply for coverage.
Material Registration: Providing a complete material list may reduce duplicate testing.
Annual Updates: Products with long-term sales can sign annual cooperation agreements with laboratories.
