Children's toys are designed and manufactured for children 12 years of age or younger to play with. The complete Amazon CPC testing process and key points for remote-controlled car toys:
I. Preliminary Preparation and Document Submission
1. Selecting a Compliant Laboratory
- Testing must be conducted by a CPSC (U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission)-accredited third-party laboratory (such as Dezewei Testing). DAkkS-accredited laboratories are preferred to ensure the validity of the report.
2. Submitting Product Information
- Provide product technical specifications: remote control frequency, battery type (e.g., lithium), material composition (plastic/metal), and intended age range.
- Indicate whether the product contains high-risk features such as small parts (e.g., detachable wheels) or light/sound features.
II. Core Testing Items (Based on CPSC Regulations)
As electric toys, remote-controlled cars must undergo the following testing:
1. Physical and Mechanical Testing
- Sharp edges and small parts choking hazards (ASTM F963, clause 4.6).
- Durability Testing: Simulates structural integrity after a crash.
2. Chemical Safety Testing
- CPSIA requirements: Lead content ≤ 100 ppm, Phthalates (6P) ≤ 0.1%.
- Surface coating migration testing for heavy metals (lead, cadmium, etc.).
3. Electrical Safety and Special Items
- Battery Safety: Overcharge/Short-Circuit Protection (16 CFR Part 1505).
- Wireless Functionality: FCC ID Certification (Remote Control Frequency Compliance).
- Flammability Testing (16 CFR 1610).
III. Testing Process and Cycle
1. Laboratory Operation Phase
- Ship 3-5 samples to the laboratory, along with circuit design drawings, battery specifications, etc.
- Standard Cycle: 5-7 business days (extended to 10 days for complex projects such as FCC certification).
2. Report and CPC Certificate Generation
- After passing the test, the laboratory will issue an English test report, and the seller will draft the CPC certificate based on the report.
IV. Required contents of CPC certificate
The certificate must include the following key information, none of which can be missing:
- Name, address and contact number of the US importer/manufacturer.
- Product production date (accurate to year and month) and place of origin (accurate to city).
- Testing time, location and test standards (such as ASTM F963-17, CPSIA).
- CPSC approved laboratory information (name, qualification number ID:).
V. Amazon audit and subsequent compliance
1. Platform submission and review
- Upload the CPC certificate + test report to the Amazon seller backend. The review usually takes 1-3 working days.
2. Market supervision focus
- Labeling requirements: Products must be permanently marked with tracking labels (batch number/manufacturer information) and age-appropriate warnings (such as "Contains small parts, not for children under 3 years old").
- Change management: Changes in materials, circuit design or battery type require retesting [[13]()].
Cost Reference and Pitfall Avoidance Guide
| Project | Cost Range | Notes
| Basic Testing (Physics + Chemistry) | ¥1,000-4,000 | Includes core ASTM F963 and CPSIA tests
| Battery Safety Testing | ¥800-1,500 | Additional fees apply for lithium batteries
| FCC Certification | ¥1,500-3,000 | For wireless remote control models only
Key Recommendations:
- Pre-test high-risk items (e.g., phthalate migration and small component strength) to avoid failure during formal testing.
- Keep the Declaration of Material (Document of Conformity) and raw test data for customs inspections.
