CPC certification is a children's product safety certificate applicable to all products primarily intended for children aged 12 and under. Amazon.com in the US requires all children's toys and products to have a CPC certificate.
Amazon CPC Certification Process for Children's Story Machines (Latest Version, 2025)
I. Core Regulations and Testing Standards
Children's story machines must meet the following requirements simultaneously:
| Regulations/Standards | Key Requirements
| CPSIA (2008) | Total lead content ≤100ppm, phthalates (DEHP, DBP, etc.) ≤0.1%
| ASTM F963-17 | Physical and mechanical safety (small parts tensile test, sharp edge detection), electrical safety (battery compartment anti-tampering)
| 16 CFR Part 1505 | Electrical safety for electric toys (circuit overload protection, insulation resistance ≥10MΩ)
| New in 2025 | Bluetooth module must comply with FCC ID certification, Wi-Fi function must be labeled "Parental Control Mode" (CPSC-25-01 Announcement)
II. Certification Process (5-8 business days)
Step Step 1: Document and Sample Preparation
Required Documents (English):
Product Specification Sheet (including battery model, Bluetooth version, and applicable age range)
Circuit Schematic Diagram (must include current-limiting resistor and protection capacitor parameters)
US Importer Information (name, address, phone number; if no importer, fill in the Amazon third-party logistics provider)
FCC ID Certificate (if includes wireless functionality)
Sample Requirements:
6 complete products (including packaging and instruction manual), 2 of which must be disassembled (for internal wiring testing)
Additionally, provide 3 batteries (for testing battery life and overcharge protection)
Step 2: Select a CPSC-Accredited Laboratory
DEZEW Testing CNAS Registration Number: L8083
Expedited Service: Pay a 50% surcharge to shorten the processing time to 3 business days
Step 3: Laboratory Testing Items
| Test Category | Specific Items
| Chemical Testing | Lead content in the outer shell coating, phthalate testing in plastic parts
| Physical Safety | Small component tensile test (≥15N force without detachment), edge rounding (radius ≥0.5mm)
| Electrical Safety | Battery reverse connection protection, short circuit test, charging interface anti-electric shock design (hole diameter ≤4mm)
| Performance Testing | Volume limit (≤85dB), drop test (6 drops on a 1.3-meter-high concrete surface without damage)
Step 4: Drafting the CPC Certificate
Must include 7 core elements (all are required):
Product Identification: Model, ASIN code, applicable age (e.g., "3-8 years old children")
Regulatory List: Clearly list CPSIA, ASTM F963-17, 16 CFR Part 1505
US Importer Information: Name + Address + Telephone (must be verifiable)
Test Report Number and Laboratory Contact Information
Production Information: Production date (accurate to month), production address (city + country, e.g., "Shenzhen, China
Testing Information: Test Date (e.g., "2025-03-15"), Laboratory Address (e.g., "New York, USA")
Compliance Statement: "This product complies with all applicable U.S. child product safety regulations."
Step 5: Amazon Upload and Review
Upload Path: Seller Central → [Performance] → [Account Health] → [Compliance Management] → Select the corresponding ASIN
Review Points:
Certificate and test report numbers must match.
Laboratory name must match the list published on the CPSC website (check the CPSC accredited laboratory directory).
If Bluetooth/Wi-Fi functionality is included, a scanned copy of the FCC ID certificate must also be uploaded.
III. Avoidance Guide
Common Reasons for Failure:
Battery compartment does not use tamper-proof screws (requires special tools to open).
Volume exceeds limits (no parental control volume buttons).
Certificate does not indicate "Test Data Maintenance Person's Email Address".
New Regulations in 2025:
Story machines with cameras must pass the Privacy Protection Test (CFR). 1520)
The storage function requires a "data encryption certificate" (AES-256 standard).
