CPC for felt story boards

Felt Story Boards designed or marketed primarily for children 12 and under are children’s products: they need third-party testing at a CPSC-accepted laboratory and a Children’s Product Certificate citing 16 CFR Part 1252 (ASTM F963) and CPSIA chemical rules, plus tracking labels. The importer or US manufacturer issues the CPC — not the factory and not the lab.

  • Board substrate and felt pieces: ASTM F963 mechanical integrity, small parts on cut-out pieces for under-3 grades, lead in dyes and stiffeners.

  • 16 CFR Part 1303 lead in paint and surface coatings where coated.

Testing focus and certification

Cut-piece small-parts profile, hook-and-loop or magnet retention, and heavy-metal screening on printed felt. Include all accessory figures in one certificate when sold as a set.

Book a CPSC-accepted lab for the exact rules, then issue the CPC in your importer name citing the report. Keep certificate and report together for at least five years.

Questions people ask

Are loose felt shapes small parts?

For under-3, yes — shape and thickness determine pass/fail under 16 CFR Part 1501.

Do wall-mounted boards need different tests?

Mounting hardware adds pull-out and sharp-point review; still cite F963 for the play set.
