CPSC Certification

What is CPSC certification?

The reason for establishing the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) was the fact that many products and items we use every day contain a myriad of potential risks, ranging from mechanical and chemical to electrical and even fire hazards. The primary goal of CPSC is to make sure all of these products are safe and to protect us from any hazardous side effects. Over the years of its operation, CPSC has enforced and managed many federal regulations related to the use of various products.
Products intended for use by children aged 12 or younger must be tested by a laboratory that is approved by CPSC and must have a label confirming their conformity to the applicable safety rules. Any products intended for general use are also subject to testing and marking with a “General Certificate of Conformity” label. Both manufacturers and distributors are responsible for meeting these certification requirements.

What products are subject to the CPCS certification

The full list of products subject to the CPSC certification currently includes over 250 items. The following categories are the most widespread:
– Carpets and rugs
– Chemicals
– Toys and items for childcare
– Clothing and cosmetics
– Food and medicines
– Fireworks
– Furniture and household items
– Tools for leisure and sport

Third-party testing of children’s products

There are safety rules for children’s products that a manufacturer must comply with. The testing is usually performed by a third-party laboratory, but it does not issue the certificate. It is issued by the manufacturer or the importer based on the testing results.

Testing of non-children’s products

Products for general use must also meet safety requirements. The manufacturer confirms the compliance by issuing the respective certificate.
