Author:GIG      Postdate:2025-07-29

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 regulatory requirements of the U.S. market has become a major 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 CPC and EN71 testing and certification for doll clothing.


CPC + EN71 Testing


Understanding the Importance of CPC and EN71 Testing

CPC is a mandatory certification for the safety of children's products in the U.S. market, proving that the product complies with all applicable consumer product safety rules. EN71, on the other hand, is the European Union's safety standard for toys, covering mechanical and physical properties, flammability, chemical properties, and more.


Choosing a Professional Testing Agency

Before conducting CPC and EN71 testing, selecting a professional testing agency is crucial. Ningbo Huabiao Testing, as a well-known third-party testing agency in China, has extensive experience in toy testing and can provide you with comprehensive testing services.

Preparing Test Samples

According to CPC and EN71 requirements, you need to prepare a certain number of test samples. Ensure that the samples are representative of the final product and in brand-new condition.

Submitting the Testing Application

Contact Ningbo Huabiao Testing to submit your testing application. During the process, you will need to provide detailed product information, sample quantities, estimated testing timeline, and other relevant details.


Conducting the Tests

Ningbo Huabiao Testing will perform a series of tests on your doll clothing based on CPC and EN71 standards. The testing items include but are not limited to:

  1. Mechanical and Physical Properties Testing – Evaluates potential hazards such as sharp points, sharp edges, and small parts on the doll clothing.

  2. Flammability Testing – Ensures that the doll clothing does not burn too quickly or emit toxic fumes when exposed to a flame.

  3. Chemical Testing – Detects harmful chemical substances that may be present in the doll clothing, such as heavy metals, phthalates, formaldehyde, etc.

Obtaining the Test Report

Once testing is completed, Ningbo Huabiao Testing will provide you with a detailed test report. If the product passes all test items, you will receive the CPC certificate and EN71 compliance certificate.
