Pre-listing compliance audit

Is the product designed or intended primarily for children 12 years of age or younger?

If yes, a CPC is required for U.S. commerce — not a GCC.

Do you have a third-party test report from a CPSC-accepted laboratory for this exact SKU?

Amazon and CPSC both expect the lab on the accepted roster for children’s products.

Is the test report less than 12 months old (or still valid under your retest plan)?

Stale reports are the #1 Amazon suppression reason after a missing CPC.

Does the report’s model/SKU match the ASIN you will list?

A report for a sibling SKU usually fails Seller Central review.

Have you issued a CPC (or GCC) that cites the same rules the lab tested?

The certificate must track the report — not invent rules.

Will every unit carry a CPSIA tracking label (manufacturer, place, date, cohort)?

Section 103 marking is required on children’s products.

If small parts / balloons / marbles / small balls apply, is the 16 CFR 1500.19 warning on the package?

Missing choking warnings get listings pulled even with a perfect CPC.

Can you attach CPC + full lab report + tracking-label photos in one Seller Central reply?

Reviewers decide in minutes; a complete packet wins.

Is the U.S. importer name and address correct on the certificate?

Wrong importer data voids the document for customs and Amazon.

If you sell into the EU, do you have an EU Declaration of Conformity and an authorised representative?

CE / GPSR is a separate stack from CPSIA — do not reuse the CPC as a DoC.
