CPC for children’s swim vests
Rules sellers cite for swim vest

Testing focus and certification
Buoyancy performance, straps/buckles, and material chemistry. Do not market as toys if they are life-safety devices.
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.
