CPC for lacing bead sets

Lacing Bead Sets 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 lacing bead set

  • ASTM F963 and 16 CFR Part 1501 small-parts testing on beads and tips; lead in paints; phthalates on vinyl laces.

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

Testing focus and certification

Bead hole integrity, lace tip detachment, and small-parts failures on under-3 listings. Long laces add strangulation warnings.

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.
