The core items and process for obtaining CPC certification for children's cardboard toys on Amazon integrate US CPSC regulatory requirements and Amazon platform specifications:
I. Mandatory Testing Items for CPC Certification
1. Chemical Safety Testing
- CPSIA Requirements:
- Total Lead Content (≤100ppm)
- Phthalates (6P/8P, limit 0.1%)
- Other Hazards: Migratable Heavy Metals (Cadmium, Mercury), Formaldehyde Emissions (if containing adhesives or coatings).
2. Physical and Mechanical Properties Testing
- ASTM F963-17 Standard:
- Choking Hazard of Small Parts (for children under 3 years old)
- Sharp Edges and Puncture Hazard Testing
- Structural Strength (Compression and Tear Resistance).
3. Labeling and Warning Compliance
- Tracking Label: Must include product ID, batch number, and manufacturer information.
- Age Warning: For example, "Contains small parts, suitable for children aged 3 years and above."
II. Certification Process (5-7 business days)
1. Material Preparation
- Product Samples (2-3 complete products)
- Material List (specify paperboard thickness and coating/ink type)
- Design Drawings (mark dimensions and removable parts).
2. Submission to Testing Laboratory
- Key Step: Laboratory disassembly into homogeneous materials (e.g., paperboard substrate, printing ink, adhesive)
- Testing Methods:
- XRF screening for heavy metals → quantitative analysis by chemical digestion
- Physical Testing (tensile testing machine, sharp edge tester).
3. Issuance of CPC Certificate
- Test Report issued by a CPSC-approved laboratory (e.g., Dezewei)
- Importer/manufacturer drafts CPC Certificate based on the report, which must include:
- Product name, applicable regulations (ASTM F963/CPSIA, etc.)
- Production date and address (accurate to the city)
- Name and address of the testing laboratory
4. Submit for Amazon Review
- Upload the CPC certificate and test report to the backend
- Ensure the certificate information is consistent with the product details page.
III. Key Considerations
1. Special Requirements for Cardboard
- If containing metal fasteners or electronic components (such as sound modules), the following additional requirements must be met:
- 16 CFR 1505 (Safety of Electric Toys)
- FCC certification (wireless functionality).
- Ink migration test (simulating saliva/sweat contact).
2. Common Reasons for Amazon Rejection
- The certificate was not issued by a CPSC-approved laboratory (Verification Lab ID: 1552).
- The tracking label is missing or incomplete.
3. Fees and Validity
- Fees: Basic package approximately ¥1,000 (single material), complex structures (such as those with coatings)
- Update Requirements: Material changes require retesting.
