The Amazon website in the United States requires all children's toys and children's products to provide a Children's Product Certificate (CPC), which is similar to a COC certificate. When launching product categories related to children on Amazon America, including toys, baby products, etc., a CPC certificate will be required, otherwise they will not be sold. Although called a "certificate," CPC certification is not issued by any official agency and does not need to be filed with government departments. Essentially, it is a "guarantee letter" drafted and fully responsible by the manufacturer/importer, stating that their products comply with all applicable children's product safety regulations and other laws and regulations in the United States.

Infant/child clothing accessories and footwear regulations require passing the CPC certification testing standards, and the CPC certification testing items include:

Lead content detection (CPSC-CH-E1003-09. CPSC-CH-E1002-08)

Phthalic acid (CPSC-CH-E1001-09.3)

Flammability regulations (16CFR1610.16CFR1611.16CFR1615/1616, etc.) for small components

Sharp Point&Sharp Edge Testing (16CFR1501.16CFR1500.48&49)

Note: The test report must be issued by a laboratory recognized by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission to confirm that each commodity has passed the test and complies with the above regulations/standards, including the following pictures of the tested commodity: packaging, compliance marks, warning labels and age classification (if applicable). The product image on the inspection report and the product image on the details page must display the same product.
