Testing and certification

On a CPC (children's products): certification must be based on testing by a CPSC-accepted third-party laboratory; in the Registry CSV that lab is entered as Lab Type ITL with its CPSC lab ID.

Whichever certificate you issue must contain all seven elements of 16 CFR 1110.11: product ID, each applicable rule (including this one), certifier, records custodian, date and place of manufacture, date and place of testing, and the attestation. See CPC guidance / GCC guidance.

Testing exclusions you can claim with 1307

If an exclusion applies, still cite 1307, and add the exclusion code under a lab entry with Type NOL (no lab) instead of a test date and lab (CPSC citation/exclusion guidance, Sept 2026).

These are the most common citations on Children's Product Certificates. Total lead content (15 U.S.C. 1278a) applies to accessible parts of children's products, the lead paint ban (16 CFR 1303) to paint and similar surface coatings, and the phthalates prohibition (16 CFR 1307) to children's toys and child care articles.
