CPSC-accepted laboratory finder

Children’s products need testing at a laboratory the CPSC currently accepts for those rules. Filter the networks sellers actually use, then confirm the city lab on the official roster.

Acceptance is granted per laboratory location and per rule, and it changes. This list is the networks sellers actually book — not the live CPSC roster. Confirm the city lab on CPSC Lab Search before you pay for a test.

Questions people ask

Is this the official CPSC list?

No. CPSC accepts laboratories per location and per rule, and the roster changes. This page names the networks Amazon sellers actually book. Confirm the city facility on CPSC Lab Search before you pay.

Does Amazon require a specific lab?

For the annual toy re-validation wave, Amazon names approved TIC firms (SGS, Intertek, Eurofins, TÜV, Bureau Veritas, QIMA). For a regular CPC, any laboratory currently accepted by the CPSC for the rules being tested is the legal requirement.

Can I use my factory’s test report?

Only if it comes from a currently accepted lab, covers the exact SKU you sell, and is recent. Shared or “similar product” reports are the usual reason a CPC gets rejected.
