Amazon store friends must have received this email, which lists the testing requirements of ASTM F963+CPSIA, so this is the testing standard that the product needs to do. In the process of applying for CPC certification, first of all, we need to confirm that the laboratory we are submitting for inspection is authorized by the US CPSC, which recognizes the laboratory's report. Without authorization, the report will not be recognized.
Many first-time friends have definitely not seen the report, so we have chosen a template to introduce it.
The CPC certification is divided into two parts, the first part being ASTM F963
ASTM F963 is further divided into three distributions
In short, it is the physical and mechanical part, the material combustion rate part, and the chemical part
The first thing we see is the physical and mechanical part. Starting from clause 4, we can see that there are many items inside, among which the common ones that fail the test are: 4.6 small parts, 4.7 sharp edges, and the labeling requirements of clause 5. These three items are relatively easy to fail, so we won't expand on them.
Part 2 Material Burning Rate: Non textile (excluding paper) materials used in toys must not be flammable, i.e. the burning rate of non textile materials is required to be less than 0.10 feet per second
The third part is the soluble migration elements (mg/kg) of surface coatings and coatings. Generally, sample descriptions are provided in the report, representing the testing site, such as site 1 being nylon fabric
There are a total of 8 soluble migration elements, Unit represents the unit (mg/kg), Limit represents the limit (not allowed to exceed), MDL represents the minimum measurable value, and Result represents the test result
The second part is CPSIA
CPSIA refers to pure chemical testing, with items including: coating lead content and substrate lead content+substrate phthalates (8 types), so we generally call it phthalate 8P
Finally, there is the label. According to CPSIA requirements, the label needs to include manufacturer information and sample information
So the above is all the testing information for ASTM F963+CPSIA.
Finally, there is the CPC certificate template. Novice friends will ask, what is the relationship between CPC and ASTM, CPSIA, and I clearly need to do CPC certification.
In fact, certification is divided into testing and certification. ASTM and CPSIA are both testing standards used to test products. After passing the testing, a certificate is issued to complete the entire certification. So after completing the testing, there will also be a CPC certificate. After obtaining the CPC certificate and ASTM+CPSIA testing report, they can be submitted to the customs or e-commerce review backend.
