Since October 14, 2026, Amazon wants bassinets, cribs, bedside sleepers, crib mattresses, toddler beds and play yards checked by a testing company it approves. At least one model of each product has to be tested by the date in your Account Health. You also need insurance, a Children's Product Certificate (CPC) and photos of the labels.
| Product | Federal standard | ASTM edition the rule uses now |
|---|---|---|
| Bassinet or cradle | 16 CFR part 1218 | ASTM F2194-25 |
| Bedside sleeper | 16 CFR part 1222 | ASTM F2906-23 |
| Full-size crib | 16 CFR part 1219 | ASTM F1169-25 |
| Other crib | 16 CFR part 1220 | ASTM F406-24 |
| Play yard | 16 CFR part 1221 | ASTM F406-24 |
| Toddler bed | 16 CFR part 1217 | ASTM F1821-26 |
| Crib mattress | 16 CFR part 1241, plus the mattress fire rules | ASTM F2933-25 |
Every one is a children's product: tests by a CPSC-accepted lab, a CPC, a registration card in the box, and a permanent mark with the maker, model and date made.

Amazon staff posted it on the Seller Forums on October 26, 2026: the new rules for infant sleep products are “now live as of October 14, 2026.” Amazon tells affected sellers in Seller Central and by email, and the steps are in Account Health.
Testing applies “even if you have previously submitted documentation.” Amazon's page adds that it covers products marked discontinued or set to be deleted too.
Amazon's rule covers sleep products for babies and young children with a flat or nearly flat surface, tilted 7 degrees or less, and rigid or mesh sides. That's bassinets and cradles, bedside sleepers, cribs, toddler beds, play yards, and mattresses sold separately for them. It also covers other sleep products for babies up to 5 months, such as Moses baskets and travel beds.
A product that converts, like a play yard with a bassinet insert, has to meet the rules for each use. Amazon doesn't allow padded crib bumpers, sleep positioners or weighted sleep products at all.
Not you, for the test papers. A testing, inspection and certification (TIC) company Amazon approves sends them for you. Already have papers? The TIC company checks a test report from a CPSC-accepted lab, issued in the last 12 months, and your CPC. Every result has to read “Pass” or “Not applicable.”
For other tests, the TIC company gets a sample from the Amazon store. If the listing is inactive, you send the product yourself. Older reports may cover chemical tests, such as lead in paint, for a new color of the same model.
A Certificate of Insurance, sent through Business Insurance verification in Seller Central. A model number and brand on the listing. And photos of every side of the product and box, the maker's or importer's name and address, the manual, the tracking label, the product registration card, and the warnings fixed to the product.
Each product has its own federal standard: bassinets (16 CFR part 1218), full-size cribs (1219), other cribs (1220), play yards (1221), bedside sleepers (1222), toddler beds (1217) and crib mattresses (1241, plus the mattress fire rules). Each one is a children's product, so the law needs tests by a CPSC-accepted lab and a CPC.
Each also needs a postage-paid registration card in the box. And the product must be marked with the maker's name, U.S. address and phone, the model, and the date it was made. For imported goods, the law counts the importer as the maker here.
One detail to check: for full-size cribs, toddler beds and crib mattresses, Amazon's page names older ASTM editions than the federal rules use now (ASTM F1169-25, F1821-26 and F2933-25). It's worth asking the testing company which edition it tests to.
Not sure which federal standards your sleep product falls under? The free certificate check asks what it is and cites each rule, such as 16 CFR 1218 for a bassinet, with the registration card line. It isn't affiliated with Amazon. Check yours — free.
Check which certificate you need — free →Already have a CPC? The free CPC check reads the certificate and test report and flags where they don't match, each cited to the rule. Check the CPC I already have — free →
The plan lists what the law and Amazon ask for your product, step by step, with a source for each line. It's free, with no signup.

Leave an email and a short note goes out if one does: a few a year at most, one click to stop, and the address is used for nothing else. A summary of the guide and a link arrive now, as confirmation.
