In recent years, the U.S. CPSIA regulations have been frequently updated, with increasingly stringent requirements. Product recalls due to children's product quality issues have also occurred frequently, causing significant losses for many companies. As a result, meeting the requirements of U.S. market supervision regulations has become a challenge for many children's product manufacturers and exporters, as well as a key factor in winning the U.S. market. Today, the Huabiao Testing team will explain what items are tested for CPSC certification under 16 CFR.
What items are tested for CPSC certification under 16 CFR?
CPC 16 CFR Mechanical and Physical Performance Testing
Mechanical and physical performance testing is a fundamental part of 16 CFR testing, primarily evaluating potential hazards that may arise during normal use and misuse of products. Test items include but are not limited to:
Sharp points and edges testing
Pressure and impact testing
Tensile and compression testing
Drop testing
These tests ensure that products do not cause accidental harm to consumers during design and manufacturing.
CPC 16 CFR Flammability Testing
Flammability testing mainly targets flammable materials, assessing the burning rate and flame spread when exposed to an ignition source. Test items include:
Ignition source testing
Flame spread testing
Smoke density testing
These tests help reduce fire risks and ensure products meet certain safety standards in the event of a fire.
CPC 16 CFR Chemical Performance Testing
Chemical performance testing focuses on potentially harmful substances in products, such as heavy metals, phthalates, and formaldehyde. Test items include:
Heavy metal migration testing
Phthalate content testing
Formaldehyde emission testing
These tests protect consumers from exposure to hazardous chemicals.
CPC 16 CFR Electrical Safety Testing
Electrical safety testing primarily applies to electrical products, ensuring they do not pose risks such as electric shocks or fires under normal usage conditions. Test items include:
Insulation resistance testing
Voltage withstand testing
Grounding continuity testing
These tests help ensure the electrical safety performance of products complies with standard requirements.
CPC 16 CFR Other Special Performance Testing
In addition to the above tests, certain products may require other special performance tests, such as:
These tests are determined based on the specific type of product and its usage environment to ensure safety under particular conditions.
