Children Product Certificate (CPC)
Are you selling children's products in the U.S. market? To legally sell any product intended for children under the age of 12 in the U.S., you must comply with the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) by obtaining a Children's Product Certificate (CPC). The CPC certifies that your product meets all applicable safety rules enforced by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
Our Children's Product Certificate (CPC) Service simplifies the process of obtaining a CPC by guiding you through the necessary safety tests and certifications. Whether you're a small business or a large manufacturer, we ensure your products meet CPSC safety standards, allowing you to sell your children's products confidently in the U.S. market.
What is a Children’s Product Certificate (CPC)?
A Children's Product Certificate (CPC) is a mandatory document that certifies a children's product complies with all applicable federal children's product safety rules. It is required for all products designed or intended for use by children under the age of 12. The CPC must be based on results from tests conducted by a CPSC-accredited third-party laboratory, ensuring that the product meets specific safety requirements, including limits on lead content, phthalates, and small parts.
Without a CPC, it is illegal to sell children’s products in the U.S., and failing to comply can lead to severe penalties, fines, and product recalls.
Why You Need a CPC for Your Children's Products
- Legal Compliance: The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) requires a CPC for all children's products sold in the U.S. market. Selling products without a CPC can lead to fines, penalties, and product recalls.
- Third-Party Testing Requirement: CPSIA mandates that children's products be tested by a CPSC-accredited third-party laboratory. The test results provide the basis for the CPC, ensuring compliance with safety regulations.
- Build Consumer Trust: Parents want safe products for their children. A CPC demonstrates that your product meets strict safety standards, giving consumers confidence in your brand.
- Avoid Fines and Recalls: Non-compliance with CPSIA regulations can result in costly fines and product recalls, damaging your brand’s reputation and financial health.
- Required for Importation and Sale: A CPC is necessary for U.S. Customs clearance when importing children’s products into the country. Without it, products may be held at the border or refused entry.
