For a children's product, a marketplace like Amazon looks at more than the CPC: the test report, photos of every side, the tracking label, the warnings and the listing itself. It checks that all of them show the same product as the CPC. One mismatch can stop the listing.

It has to come from a lab CPSC accepts for each test on it, and Amazon adds that the lab must be accredited for that exact standard.
For toys, Amazon wants a report from the last 12 months that shows the toy meets one or more of these: the toy standard (ASTM F963-23), phthalates, the tracking label and, for toys for children under 3, small parts. Every line must say Pass or Not applicable. A line that says Fail or Not met, or is left blank, gets it sent back. So does a report from a lab Amazon has suspended.
Every side of the product and the box, even the blank sides. Amazon looks for the model number, the maker's or brand's name and address, the labels, the warnings (like the choking-hazard warning) and the tracking label.
The photos prove this is the same product that was tested and listed. Amazon wants the original files, not edited or AI-made ones. A bundle needs photos and papers for each item in it.
Because the CPC doesn't cover it, so the photos have to. The law asks for a permanent mark, where practical, on a children's product and its box that shows who made it, where and when, and a batch number. Amazon says a paper sticker added later doesn't count.
Yes. For toys, Amazon checks the model number, the brand, the warning statement and the minimum age. The age on the listing can't be younger than the age on the test report: a toy tested for 36 months and up can't be listed for younger children.
After approval, keep it that way. An Amazon moderator warned a seller that changing the photos, the age or the warnings can get the listing taken down.
Amazon says it can ask at any time, so keep these ready: a list of your children's products, the photos, the manuals, the CPC and the test reports. The CPC and reports must be in English, as the original PDF or image; a clear scan is fine.
Baby gear such as cribs, high chairs and strollers also needs a paper registration card, so owners hear about recalls. Amazon won't take a digital one. Toy sellers also need proof of business insurance: at least $1 million, which Amazon's insurance page says applies whatever your sales from November 2, 2026.
An outside testing firm that Amazon approves. Since September 2025, it reviews the report, or tests the toy, and sends the result to Amazon. Colours of one product can often share one report; a different model number usually needs its own test.

Most of this list asks one thing: do the papers describe the same product? The free CPC check reads the certificate, the test report and the invoice and shows the five things a reviewer checks across them, each cited to the rule.
