CPC for wooden & plastic train sets

Wooden & Plastic Train 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 toy standard, small parts, magnets if present, lead/phthalates, plus tracking labels. The importer or US manufacturer issues the CPC — not the factory and not the lab.

Rules sellers cite for train set

  • Train sets are toys with many small components and sometimes magnets.

  • 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

Couplers, tracks, magnets, and coatings are high-scrutiny parts.

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.
