CPC for geoboards for kids

Geoboards for Kids 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.

Rules sellers cite for geoboard

  • ASTM F963 on pegs, boards, and rubber bands; small-parts and sharp-point review; lead in painted grids.
  • CPSIA Section 101 total lead content in accessible materials.
  • 16 CFR Part 1303 lead in paint and surface coatings where coated.
  • CPSIA Section 103 tracking labels on product and packaging.

Testing focus and certification

Peg pull-out strength, band snap behavior, and small parts if pegs detach. Latex-free band claims need supplier docs matching tested elastomer.

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.
