CPC for children’s blankets
Which rules apply to children’s blankets
- Blankets for children test for fabric flammability under general textile requirements plus lead in dyes, prints, and binding trims.
- CPSIA section 101 total lead content in accessible substrate materials.
- 16 CFR part 1303 lead in paint and surface coatings where painted or coated.
- CPSIA section 103 tracking labels: manufacturer, location, and date of manufacture on product and packaging.
The testing and certification path
Testing covers the flammability behavior of the exact pile and weave sold — brushed fleece and loose knits are the risk constructions — plus lead screening on dyes, embroidered features, and satin bindings.
Book testing at a laboratory that is CPSC-accepted for each rule, issue the CPC in your own name citing the rules your report supports, and keep the certificate with its test report for at least five years. Marketplaces ask for the pair, not the certificate alone.
Questions people ask
Do fleece blankets pass flammability easily?
Standard polyester fleece usually passes; brushed or heavyweight constructions are the risk cases. Pre-test the exact textile before production.
Are baby blankets treated differently?
Blankets marketed for infants draw infant-sleep scrutiny — never market them for unsupervised sleep, and check the banned-products list before importing.
