CPC for children’s easels
What gets tested
- Lead in wood substrates, painted surfaces, and metal hardware across every color variant.
- Stability and structural design documentation: tip behavior with a child working at the top clips.
- Included art supplies (paint pots, chalks, markers) reviewed under LHAMA labeling and children’s rules.
Design notes before testing
The classic failures are folding-lock security under lateral pressure and chalk/paint accessories missing LHAMA documentation. Lock the folding mechanism, source art supplies with toxicologist reviews, and your certification file covers the whole product honestly.
Questions people ask
Do the paint pots need their own CPC?
Included supplies are certified with the set — their materials are tested within the product. Paint pots sold separately as refills need their own art-material documentation.
Is there a mandatory easel standard?
No dedicated federal standard exists. Certify the general children’s rules and document your stability design testing — the same approach as other children’s furniture without a specific rule.
