CPC Testing Report for Children’s Educational Board Games (Amazon)
Testing Overview
Children’s educational board games are classified as products intended for children aged 12 and under. Listing such items on Amazon’s U.S. marketplace requires a Children’s Product Certificate (CPC), which must be supported by testing conducted in accordance with CPSIA and ASTM F963 standards. These products typically consist of paper cards, wooden or plastic game pieces, printed inks, and cardboard boxes. Small game pieces and dice are primary subjects for choking hazard assessments, while printed coatings and inks are subject to strict controls regarding heavy metal content. Deesev (CPC ID: 1552) is a CPSC-recognized laboratory; upon successful completion of testing, we issue a test report, which can then be used to generate the CPC required for Amazon platform compliance reviews. Standard Testing Items
1. ASTM F963 Mechanical and Physical Properties: Testing for small parts, sharp edges, tension/drop resistance, and choking hazards.
2. Lead in Coatings: Lead content in surface printing inks and colored coatings (limit: 90 ppm).
3. Total Lead in Substrates: Lead content in base materials such as cards, game pieces, and boards (limit: 100 ppm).
4. Phthalates (6P) Testing: Specifically for soft rubber and plastic game pieces.
5. Flammability Testing: For paper and cardboard components.
Required Documentation
1. Test Request Form: Must specify the intended age range and product materials (paper, wood, or plastic).
2. Bill of Materials (BOM): Details on materials used for cards, game pieces, inks, adhesives, and packaging boxes.
3. Product Photographs: Include clear images of the product, with separate close-ups of small items like dice, game pieces, and printed surfaces.
4. Samples: A complete set of the board game. Please provide separate samples for components with different color schemes or materials.
5. Product Labels and Warning Text.
Testing Process
1. Define the testing plan by breaking down the product into homogeneous materials (e.g., paper, plastic, ink, wood).
2. Submit documentation and send samples.
3. Laboratory conducts testing in accordance with ASTM F963 and CPSIA requirements.
4. Data review and issuance of a CPSC-accepted test report. If a product fails, corrective recommendations are provided, and re-testing is available.
5. Upon receipt of a passing report, a Children’s Product Certificate (CPC) is issued for submission to Amazon or for inspection by importers.
Timeline and Important Notes
Standard turnaround time is 5–7 business days.
Any changes to game piece materials, ink formulations, or printing processes require re-testing and an updated CPC. Test reports are valid only for the specific samples submitted. If the board game includes art materials such as modeling clay or paints, an additional LHAMA (Labeling of Hazardous Art Materials Act) assessment is required.
