Which safety certificate does my product need?
For marketplaces like Amazon, and for customs. CPC · GCC · FCC · FDA. Free.
Checks the common CPSC safety rules, the FCC authorization path, and FDA's import steps for food, drugs and devices. Other agencies are flagged from the product type.
How CPSC decides ▸
- A statement by the manufacturer about the product's intended use, including a label, where that statement is reasonable. An age label or a "not for children" line does not decide it alone: a product whose look, size or marketing is aimed mainly at children can still be one.
- Whether the packaging, display, promotion or advertising presents it as appropriate for children 12 or younger.
- Whether consumers commonly recognise it as intended for a child 12 or younger. Something a parent or caregiver uses in a child's room, and the child does not, is not a children's product.
- The Commission's Age Determination Guidelines (September 2002) and any successor to them.
