CPSIA Certification Requirements & How to Obtain CPSC Certification for the US Market

The demand for children's jewelry, especially kids' necklaces, continues to grow due to their appealing designs. However, to ensure safety, the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) imposes strict chemical and physical safety requirements. Today, Huabiao Testing explains CPSIA certification requirements and how to obtain CPSC certification for the US market.

What Are the CPSIA Certification Requirements?

CPSIA aims to enhance child product safety, with key requirements including:

1. Safety & Playability Standards

Products must meet physical & mechanical safety standards (e.g., no sharp edges, choking hazards).

ASTM F2923 (for children’s jewelry) applies to prevent injuries.

2. Chemical Restrictions

Lead content: ≤ 100 ppm (inaccessible parts)

Phthalates: ≤ 0.1% for DEHP, DBP, BBP, DINP, DIDP, DNOP

Cadmium & other heavy metals: Restricted under CPSIA & ASTM F2923

3. Tracking Labels

Permanent labels must include:

Manufacturer/supplier info

Production date & batch number

Origin details

4. Third-Party Testing & Certification

Mandatory for children’s products (12 years & under).

Must be tested by a CPSC-accepted lab (e.g., Huabiao Testing).
