Detailed steps for obtaining a CPC test report for plush toys on Amazon:
I. Preliminary Preparation
1. Confirm applicable standards
- Plush toys must comply with the mandatory requirements of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Core standards include:
- ASTM F963 (physical/mechanical properties, flammability, and chemical safety of toys)
- CPSIA (total lead content ≤ 100 ppm, phthalates ≤ 0.1%)
- Ensure the product is designed for children 12 years and under.
2. Select a CPSC-approved laboratory
- Only test reports issued by a CPSC-authorized laboratory (e.g., Dezewei ID: 1552) are valid.
- Submit samples: Typically, you must send two complete products (including all accessories).
II. Testing Process
1. Submit application and samples
- Complete the application form (including manufacturer, product model, bill of materials, etc.).
- The laboratory will evaluate the samples and confirm the test items and fees (approximately 5-7 business days).
2. Key Test Items
| Test Category | Specific Content
| Physical and Mechanical Properties | Small Parts Tensile Test, Sharp Edge Inspection, and Asphyxiation Risk Assessment (ASTM F963-1)
| Flammability Test | Plush Fabric Burning Rate (ASTM F963-2)
| Chemical Safety Test | Testing for Hazardous Substances such as Lead, Cadmium, and Phthalates (CPSIA)
3. Review and Report Generation
- After the test passes, the laboratory will issue a draft report for confirmation.
- The formal report must include:
- Laboratory Name/Address/CPSC Number
- Product Description and Production Information (accurate to city, year, and month)
- List of Applicable Regulations (e.g., CPSIA, ASTM F963).
III. CPC Certificate Issuance and Submission
1. Certificate Drafting Requirements
- Issued by the U.S. importer or manufacturer (Chinese sellers must specify a U.S. importer).
- Must include:
- Manufacturer and importer information (name, address, phone number)
- Testing laboratory accreditation certificate
- Product tracking label (batch number, production date).
2. Upload to Amazon
- Submit the CPC certificate and test report in the Seller Central.
- Ensure the certificate information is identical to the product details (e.g., ASIN, company name).
IV. Common Problems and Notes
1. Reasons for Audit Failure
- Laboratory not authorized by the CPSC
- Certificate lacks US importer information
- Product packaging lacks warning labels (e.g., suffocation warning).
2. Validity and Updates
- Reports have no fixed validity period, but retesting is required if materials change or production continues for more than one year.
- Similar products can be tested together (differences will be reported separately).
