Generating a CPC for your children's product
Children's Product Certificate — what's required and how to generate it.
A Children's Product Certificate (CPC) is required by CPSIA for any product designed primarily for children 12 or under. The CPC certifies that your product has been tested by a CPSC-accepted laboratory and meets all applicable safety rules.
Required fields (7):
- Product description
- Citation of each applicable rule (e.g., ASTM F963, 16 CFR 1303)
- Manufacture date and location
- Test date and location
- CPSC-accepted lab name and address
- Importer / manufacturer name and address
- Contact for test record requests
WARNING: Lab tests are valid for 12 months. Your CPC is only as current as your most recent test — set a renewal reminder.
