Children’s Product Certificate sample (filled example)

A completed CPC contains seven things: product identification, the exact CPSC rules the product is certified to meet, the certifying party, a records contact, date and place of manufacture, date and place of testing, and the CPSC-accepted laboratory. Below is a filled sample for a fictional wooden toy, annotated section by section, with a downloadable sample PDF generated by the free tool.

The sample: a wooden stacking toy

The sample certificate covers a wooden stacking toy for ages 18 months and up, imported by a small brand and tested by SGS. Its cited rules are typical for the category: the toy safety standard (16 CFR Part 1252 / ASTM F963-23), total lead content (CPSIA Section 101), lead in paint (16 CFR Part 1303), specified phthalates (16 CFR Part 1307), small parts (16 CFR Part 1501), and tracking labels (CPSIA Section 103).

What to compare against your own certificate

  • Does it cite each rule with its CFR citation, not just the rule name?
  • Does it name the importer (or domestic manufacturer) and a records contact?
  • Does it include date AND place of manufacture, and date AND place of testing?
  • Is the laboratory identified as CPSC-accepted for those rules?

Questions people ask

Can I copy this sample and fill in my details?

That is effectively what the generator does, minus the copy-paste errors: it fills a structured certificate from your data. Editing a hand-copied document is how required elements get lost.

Is the sample legally valid?

No: it describes a fictional product and exists to show the format. Your certificate is valid when it accurately describes your tested product.

Why does the sample cite six rules when my product may need fewer?

Rules depend on the product type and materials. A plastic toy without paint cites different rules than a painted wooden one. Match the rules to your test report.
