CPC for pegboard toys

Pegboard Toys 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 pegboard toy

  • ASTM F963 on pegs, boards, and hammers; sharp-point and small-parts review; lead in coatings.
  • 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 length and sharpness after hammer play, board splinters, and small parts when pegs pull out. Tool benches share the same failure patterns.

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.
