Infant and Toddler Products CPC Certification (Amazon)

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Committee (CPSC) was established in 1972 to protect consumer interests. It sets mandatory standards or bans for unregulated consumer products and enforces rules to reduce product-related injuries and fatalities, ensuring household and personal safety.

CPSC regulates over 15,000 consumer products, including children's products, household appliances, and items for homes, schools, and recreation. Among them, children's products receive the strictest supervision. Any product intended for children's use—whether toys, clothing, or daily necessities—must comply with stringent regulations.

CPC Certification

The Children’s Product Certificate (CPC) is issued by a CPSC-authorized third-party testing lab based on test results. It applies to products designed primarily for children aged 12 and under, such as toys, cradles, and children's clothing. If manufactured in the U.S., the manufacturer must provide the CPC. If produced elsewhere, the importer must provide it.

For cross-border sellers exporting products from Chinese factories to the U.S., a CPC certificate must be presented to Amazon. Only CPSC-authorized laboratories can issue this certificate, so sellers should confirm a lab’s authorization before certification. JJR Laboratory in China is qualified to provide this service and can offer credentials and quotes upon request.
