First of all, with the rapid development of science and technology, it has driven consumer groups to have higher experience demands for children’s products. Therefore, the diversification of children’s products has become an inevitable trend in the development of the children’s product industry.

Secondly, these products will accompany children as they grow up. It not only meets the needs of different consumer groups, but also improves the interactive experience between consumer groups and children’s products.

At the same time, the safety issues related to the use of children’s products will attract more and more attention and attention from people in the testing industry and consumers.

 

Next, let us learn about the testing and certification of children’s products.

 

1. What is CPC certification?

 

The Consumer Product Safety Committee (CPSC) was established in 1972. Its responsibility is to protect the interests of most American consumers, establish mandatory standards or bans for consumer products that have no standards to follow, and implement potentially dangerous products. products, reduce the risk of injury and death from products, and maintain the safety of individuals and families.

The CPSC regulates a wide range of consumer products, covering more than 15,000 products, primarily children’s products, household appliances and other consumer products used in homes, schools, entertainment and schools. The most important of these are children’s products. As long as they involve products used by children, whether they are toys, clothing or daily necessities, they are strictly regulated.

The CPSC is implemented based on the CPSIA regulations, which stipulate product quality standards. CPSIA is the Security Improvement Act signed into law by Bush on August 14, 2008. The order is the toughest consumer protection act since the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) was established in 1972. The CPSIA Act expands the scope of products that require testing and certification. Products subject to the standards, prohibitions and implementing rules established by the CPSC in accordance with this Act require testing and certification.

Children’s Product Certificate, referred to as CPC, refers to a certificate issued based on test data after a third-party testing agency authorized by the CPSC tests the product in accordance with regulations. Applicable to all products that are mainly targeted at children 12 years old and under, such as toys, cradle, children’s clothing, etc. If they are produced in the United States, they are provided by the manufacturer. If they are produced in other countries, they are provided by the importer. In other words, as an “importer”, a cross-border seller who wants to sell products produced by Chinese factories to the United States needs to provide a CPC certificate to Amazon as retailer.

3. Information that the CPC certificate needs to contain

 

• Product information;
• All laws and regulations applicable to the product;
• Importer or manufacturer (in the United States) information: including name, address and phone number;
• Contact information of the holder of the test result file of the CPC certificate: name, address, email address and phone number (usually understood as a manufacturer outside the United States);
• Product production date and address. The production date must be in year and month, and the address must be in city;
• Testing time and address or test report on which the certificate is based;
• Third-party testing agency information (CPSC-accredited laboratory): name, address, contact number;

 

4. CPC certification process

 

• Fill in the application form;
• Sample delivery;
• Sample testing;
• After passing the test data, it will be reviewed together with the relevant applications. After passing the test, a certificate will be issued;

The above is the sharing about CPC certification.

The importance of product safety testing cannot be ignored at present. It involves not only the economic losses and brand impact caused by product recalls, but more importantly, “safety incidents” caused by the potential dangers of products.

In order to meet the various consumption needs and experiences of consumer groups, it is our goal to create a safer growth environment, provide more reliable life security, and have a more complete and professional certification knowledge reserve.
