Children’s bicycles sold on the Amazon platform must pass CPC certification (Children’s Product Certificate). The testing process and core requirements are as follows:
I. CPC certification core requirements
1. Applicable objects
- All products that are mainly used by children aged 12 and under, including children’s bicycles, scooters, balance bikes, etc.
2. Testing items
- Physical and mechanical performance test: evaluate structural strength, stability, braking system effectiveness, etc.;
- Chemical substance restriction test: detect the content of harmful substances such as lead and phthalates;
- Combustion performance test: analyze the reaction of materials to fire sources;
- Label and instruction manual inspection: ensure that the information is complete, clear and easy to understand;
- Battery safety test (if applicable): prevent risks such as battery overheating and leakage.
II. Testing process steps
1. Select a qualified testing agency
- It is necessary to select a third-party laboratory approved by the US CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission), such as Dezewei.
2. Submit application materials
- Materials include: product design drawings, technical specifications, instruction manuals, safety warning labels, manufacturer information, etc.
3. Product testing and evaluation
- The laboratory conducts tests in accordance with ASTM F963 (toy standards), 16 CFR 1512 (bicycle requirements) and other regulations, and generates Chinese and English test reports.
4. Prepare and review CPC certificates
- The testing agency assists in drafting the certificate, which must include product information, testing standards, manufacturer/importer information, test time and laboratory qualifications, etc.
5. Submit for Amazon review
- Upload the CPC certificate and test report to the Amazon backend, and the product can be put on the shelf only after passing the review.
6. Affix CPC logo
- Certified products must indicate CPC compliance information on the outer packaging or label.
III. Key points
1. Certificate validity period and renewal
- If the product design or materials change, retest and update the certificate; if there is no change, it is recommended to conduct periodic testing once a year.
2. Common reasons for audit failure
- Lack of US importer information, omission of test items, laboratory not CPSC qualified, untrue report data, etc.
3. Compliance label requirements
- Products need to be marked with tracking labels (including manufacturer name, production date, batch number, etc.) to facilitate quality traceability.
IV. Summary and suggestions
- Give priority to comprehensive service providers: Some laboratories (such as Dezewei) provide "one-stop" services from testing to certificate agency, which can save time and cost;
- Prepare materials in advance: ensure that technical documents are complete to avoid delays due to supplementary materials;
- Pay attention to regulatory trends: The US CPSC may update safety standards, and compliance needs to be checked regularly.
