CPC certification requirements and application procedures for playing cards sold on Amazon US:

I. CPC certification core requirements

1. Applicable objects

If the target users of playing cards include children under 12 years old, they must pass CPC certification (Children's Product Certificate).

2. Testing standards

- Chemical safety: must comply with CPSIA regulations, test total lead content (limit ≤100ppm) and 6 phthalates (DEHP/DBP/BBP≤0.1%, DINP/DIDP/DNOP≤0.1%).

- Physical safety: follow ASTM F963 toy safety standards, including small parts testing (to prevent swallowing and choking), edge sharpness, durability, etc.

- Combustion performance: if it contains textile materials (such as card packaging bags), it must pass 16 CFR 1610 combustion test.

3. Certificate Content

- Product information (name, model) and list of applicable regulations

- Manufacturer name, address, contact information

- Production date and location (accurate to year, month and city)

- Testing laboratory information (CPSC accreditation)

- U.S. importer or local manufacturer information (mandatory).

2. Certification Process

1. Select a laboratory

- Entrust a third-party laboratory approved by CPSC.

2. Sample delivery

- Provide a complete sample of playing cards (including packaging and instructions)

- Test items: CPSIA chemical testing + ASTM F963 physical testing + combustion performance (if applicable).

3. Prepare CPC certificate

- After the laboratory issues the test report, the manufacturer or importer drafts the CPC certificate, which must include the above core requirements.

4. Submit to Amazon for review

- Upload the CPC certificate and test report through the seller backend

- Make sure the applicable age is marked on the product details page (such as "12+" must be clearly stated).

3. Key points

1. Importer information

- Information of the importer or manufacturer in the United States must be provided (the address of the overseas warehouse company can be used, but the Amazon warehouse cannot be filled in).

2. Certification time

- The regular cycle is 5-7 working days, which can be shortened to 3 days for expedited service (the cost may increase).

3. Common reasons for rejection

- The laboratory is not accredited by the CPSC

- The certificate lacks information about the US importer or the date of production

- The product description does not match the test scope (such as not declaring that it contains scenarios suitable for children).

4. Recommended steps

1. Check whether the product needs to be certified (if it involves children under 12 years old)

2. Contact the CPSC-accredited laboratory

3. Send samples to complete the test

4. Prepare the CPC certificate based on the report

5. Submit to Amazon and back up the documents for future reference.
