 What is the CPC certification required by Amazon for children's products?



What is CPC certification?

CPC certification stands for Children’s Product Certificate. A CPC certificate is similar to a quality inspection report in China; it's issued upon passing relevant tests and receiving a report. The certificate lists importer/exporter information, product information, and the relevant tests passed and the applicable regulations and standards. Amazon requires sellers to upload a CPC certificate when listing certain product categories (such as children's toys, baby products, and children's clothing). Children's products without a CPC certificate cannot be sold.

Summary of Reasons for CPSC and CPC Rejections for Toy Products in the US and Europe


Recently, many friends have asked about CPC certification. Before meeting me, some had already used other agencies to obtain CPC certificates, but still failed to pass the review. I have summarized the reasons for rejection by Amazon:


I. In order to list these toys on Amazon, please apply by submitting the following item. Please update the CPSIA Warning Attribute in detail page.


Answer: The CPSIA field on the product page editing page is not filled in. You need to select the appropriate Warning for your product from the drop-down menu!


II. In order to review your documents related to Product Assurance of Toys, please submit them on Vendor Central using the following Steps:


1. In Vendor Central, click the Items menu, and then select Vendor Certificates.


2. Click on Missing Compliance Documents.


3. Search for the affected ASIN and then.


4. Click Add to upload the documents.


Answer: Do not reply or submit documents in the CASE section. Find the "View Sales Application" section in the menu bar, locate the rejected ASIN, and resubmit the certificate for review.


III. We noticed that the recommended Age Grade of the ASIN is missing on the product(s) detail page.


Please update the product(s) detail page with the recommended Age Grade (the manufacturer_minimum_age attribute) identified on the ASINs third-party test report to proceed with the approval process.


Answer: The listing backend lacks the recommended age description for the product. Update it in the backend.


IV. Please be informed that we can only accept product images. Therefore, please take clear photos of the product and product packaging clearly displaying:


* Manufacturer Name


* Manufacturer Address


* Warning label (as (Applicable)


Answer: The first requirement from Amazon is that the product images must clearly show the manufacturer's name, address, and warning labels (I have a general template).

Power Bank Safety Upgrade: First Mandatory National Standard Issued

图片
 Power Bank Safety Upgrade: First Mandatory National Standard Issued my country's first mandatory national standard, the "Technical Specification for Safety of Power Banks," was published on March 31, 2026, and will officially take effect on April 1, 2027. This standard aims to end long-standing problems in the power bank industry, such as falsely advertised capacity, substandard battery cells, and frequent safety incidents. The new regulation introduces several stringent technical requirements, mandating that battery cells pass a needle penetration test (without catching fire or exploding), and strengthening thermal abuse testing; it also adds tests for whole-device drop and crushing, requires products to be labeled with a safe service life, and improves various protection mechanisms.

EN IEC 62680-1-3/62680-1-2 EU Electronics Standards

图片
To reduce e-waste, the EU is committed to promoting a unified charging technology and interface that supports a variety of electronic products. On November 23, 2022, the EU issued Directive EN IEC 62680-1-3/62680-1-2, requiring electronic product manufacturers to use USB-C charging interface technology in their products. It also requires small and medium-sized portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and cameras, as well as laptops, to comply with the USB-C charging interface requirement by 2024 and 2026, respectively. The IEC 62680 testing equipment GRL-USB-PD-C2-EPR, formerly the USB-IF Association's USB PD certification testing instrument, performs PD protocol certification testing. IEC 62680-1-2 and IEC 62680-1-3 incorporate the USB-IF USB PD and Type-C specifications and are currently used for protocol testing and certification corresponding to IEC 62680. IEC 62680-1-2 primarily defines the USB PD power supply specification; IEC 62680-1-3 is a specification ...

What is FDA Certification & What is FDA Registration?

 What is FDA Certification & What is FDA Registration? I. What is the FDA? The FDA, authorized by the U.S. Congress (the federal government), is the highest law enforcement agency specializing in food and drug regulation. Its full name is the Food and Drug Administration. Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as FDA certification; the FDA itself has stated this. Generally, when people talk about FDA certification, they are referring to the following three types: FDA registration, FDA testing, and FDA approval. ① FDA Registration: Companies exporting food, drugs, and medical devices to the United States must register with the FDA, listing their company and products. Otherwise, customs clearance will be denied; this is a mandatory requirement. ② FDA Testing: FDA testing primarily refers to safety testing of food contact materials, testing of product contact packaging, biocompatibility testing of medical products, and clinical safety testing. ③ FDA Approval: This usually appli...
