CPC for kids’ gps watches

Kids’ GPS Watches 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), 16 CFR Part 1263 (button cell), 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 GPS watch

  • ASTM F963 where classified as a toy watch; button-cell accessibility and marking under Reese’s Law; lead on metal bands and phthalates on silicone straps.
  • 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

Screw-secured battery compartments, strap breakaway and small parts, SAR/FCC for cellular/GPS radios, and honest age grade if SOS buttons look like toys.

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.
