Rules that matter most for baby items
- 16 CFR Part 1307: the phthalates ban applies squarely to child care articles (anything facilitating sleep, feeding, sucking, or teething for children 3 and under).
- CPSIA Section 101: total lead in accessible materials, with strict limits on surface coatings too.
- Extra regimes to know: durable infant products have their own standards and registration-card requirements, and sleep-related products face additional rules.
The certification workflow
Test at a CPSC-accepted lab, issue the CPC citing the rules your report covers, keep the documents five years, and re-test after any material or factory change. The generator handles the certificate; your lab handles the testing; the vault keeps the pair together.
Questions people ask
Is a baby blanket a child care article?
Blankets for general use are often treated as ordinary textile products, while items facilitating sleep, feeding, sucking, or teething for under-3s are child care articles. Classification drives which rules apply: confirm with your lab.
Do I need a registration card for baby products?
Durable infant products (like cribs, strollers, and high chairs) have specific product registration card requirements so recalls can reach buyers. Check whether your product category has its own standard.
What about secondhand baby gear?
Resellers have limited exemptions, but recalled and banned items are prohibited regardless. Durable infant products are among the most commonly recalled categories: check recall lists before listing.
