What is CPSIA toy testing certification? CPSIA certification is the certification of children's consumer products in the United States. CPSIA certification requirements are aimed at further strengthening the safety of children's products on the market, increasing consumer confidence in products, limiting the use of lead and phthalates in children's products, and implementing mandatory toy standards (ASTM F963).

CPSIA is the Security Improvement Act signed into force by President Bush of the United States on August 14, 2008. This act is the strictest consumer protection act since the establishment of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) in 1972. In addition to stricter requirements for lead content in children's products, the new bill also sets new regulations on the content of phthalates, a harmful substance in toys and child care products. In addition, the bill also requires the establishment of a public database on consumer product safety.
