What are the requirements for Amazon CPC children's books? Generally speaking, all accessible components of children's products must be tested to demonstrate compliance with the lead content limit of 100 parts per million (ppm). However, the total lead content testing requirements for "ordinary books" and "ordinary paper printing materials" are exempt, such as bars. Law No. 112-28.

Ordinary books are printed on paper or cardboard, printed with ink or toner, and bound and completed using conventional methods, with the aim of reading or having educational value. The exemption from this test for regular books does not include books with intrinsic game value, books designed or intended for use by children aged 3 or below, nor does it include any toys or other non book items that are sold or packaged with regular books.

Ordinary paper printed matter is printed on paper or cardboard, such as magazines, posters, greeting cards, and similar products, printed with ink or toner, and bound and bound using conventional methods. If the item is printed on materials other than paper or cardboard, or contains non paper parts such as metal or plastic parts or accessories that are not part of binding and organizing, the lead test exemption for ordinary paper materials does not apply.

Part 2 of the Children's Product Certificate (CPC) requires the listing of applicable citations for the certified product. The reference for the total lead content in the substrate material is: 15 USC § 1278a If you rely on this test exemption, Section 6 of your Children's Product Certificate (CPC) will need to refer to PL 112-28 and specify that your product meets the definition of ordinary books or ordinary paper printed materials.
