In recent years, cross-border e-commerce has gained significant momentum. As a rising star, the TEMU platform has attracted numerous sellers with its unique business model and massive traffic potential. However, to succeed on the TEMU platform, product compliance is a critical step! Today, the Huabiao Testing team will share insights on what TEMU CPC certification is and the specific requirements for children's clothing under TEMU CPC certification.
What is TEMU CPC Certification?
TEMU CPC certification refers to the CPC (Children’s Product Certificate) required for selling children's products on the TEMU platform. It applies to products intended for children aged 12 and under, such as toys, children's clothing, stationery, and children's furniture. Products must undergo testing by a CPSC-accredited third-party laboratory to ensure compliance with relevant standards, including ASTM F963 (Toy Safety Standard) and CPSIA's lead and phthalates restrictions.
Specific Requirements for Children's Clothing Under TEMU CPC Certification
Compliance with CPSIA Regulations
The CPSIA (Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act) is the core regulation for CPC certification. Children's clothing must comply with CPSIA restrictions on harmful substances such as lead and phthalates:
Lead Content: Must not exceed 100 ppm.
Phthalates Content: Must not exceed 0.1%.
Compliance with ASTM Standards
Children's clothing must pass ASTM F963 testing, a general safety standard for children's products in the U.S., covering the following aspects:
Physical Performance: Ensuring small parts like buttons and zippers are secure and do not pose choking hazards.
Flammability: Ensuring fabrics meet flame resistance requirements.
Mechanical Performance: Ensuring designs like cords and drawstrings comply with safety requirements.
Labeling and Marking Requirements
Labels and markings on children's clothing must be clear and accurate, including the following information:
Product Name and Model: Clearly identifying the product.
Manufacturer Information: Including name, address, and contact details.
Production Date: Indicating the production batch or date.
Safety Warnings: If applicable, warnings such as "Small parts may pose a choking hazard" must be included.
Chemical Substance Testing
Children's clothing must undergo chemical substance testing to ensure the absence of harmful substances, including but not limited to:
Formaldehyde: Must not exceed 75 ppm (direct skin contact) or 300 ppm (non-direct skin contact).
Azo Dyes: Must not contain azo dyes that decompose into carcinogenic aromatic amines.
Heavy Metals: Content of heavy metals like cadmium and mercury must comply with regulatory limits.
Small Parts Safety
Small parts on children's clothing (e.g., buttons, sequins, beads) must be securely attached to prevent detachment and potential choking hazards.
Cord and Drawstring Design
Cords and drawstrings on children's clothing must comply with safety standards to prevent entanglement or strangulation risks.
