Amazon requires children's products sold on its platform to have a CPC certificate. In addition, the United States customs clearance also requires children's products must have a CPC certificate. The CPC certificate for children's products means that product manufacturers and importers must issue a CPC certificate for children's products based on the test results of a third-party laboratory recognized by the CPSC to prove that they meet the safety requirements for children's products in the United States. The test requirements are derived from CPSIA, ASTM F963 and CPSC regulatory standards, and the test items include phthale-8P, total lead and small parts. PPTS Testing Laboratory is a third-party laboratory accredited by the Consumer Council (CPSC) and is also an authorized partner laboratory of Amazon Platform (Amazon).

A Children's Product Certificate is a certificate issued by manufacturers and importers based on test data after a third-party laboratory authorized by CPSC has tested a product in accordance with regulations. The CPC certificate applies to all products intended primarily for use by children 12 years of age and younger, such as toys, bassinettes, children's clothing, etc., provided by the manufacturer if produced locally in the United States, or by the importer if produced in other countries.
The CPSIA Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act requires that children's products: 1) meet all applicable safety standards; Testing at a CPSC-accredited laboratory; Provide a written CPC certificate (Children's Product Certificate); There are permanent traceability labels on products and packaging.

The certificate must contain the following:

4. Contact information of the test result record holder
5. When and where the product was manufactured
