Frequently Asked Questions about Children's Product Certificates
1. What is CPC certification?
CPC certification refers to a written children's product certificate issued by manufacturers or importers to demonstrate that their children's products comply with all applicable children's product safety rules (or similar rules, prohibitions, standards, or any legal provisions enforced by committees for such products).
The certification of children's products must be based on the passing test results of third-party testing. Third party testing laboratories provide testing services and results, usually only providing reports and not certificates. Certificates should be issued by importers, and third-party laboratories can assist in drafting.
2. Who will issue the children's product certificate?
Importers must issue CPC for products produced overseas, while US manufacturers must issue CPC for domestically produced products.
Manufacturers or importers of children's products that comply with safety regulations or other standards are always legally responsible for issuing CPC, even if a third-party testing laboratory or another third party provides assistance in drafting CPC.
3. To whom should children's product certificates be provided?
If you are a manufacturer or importer, you must provide children's product certificates to your distributors and retailers. In addition, federal law requires you to provide copies of children's product certificates to CPSC and the Director of Customs upon request.
If manufacturers or importers provide their distributors and retailers with reasonable ways to obtain certificates, then 'meeting' the requirements of CPC is met. You can provide actual hard copies of the certificate to dealers and retailers, or you can provide a dedicated website with that specific certificate on the invoice.
4. Where do I need to submit a children's product certificate?
CPC must accompany the shipment of products and deliver them to distributors and retailers. According to the requirements, CPC must be provided to CPSC and the Commissioner of Customs.
