Children's Shoes/Children's Clothing CPC + EN71: How to Apply

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. Therefore, meeting the regulatory requirements of the U.S. market 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 guide you through the process of obtaining CPC and EN71 certification for children's shoes and clothing.
