Amazon CPC Certificate Requirements for Sellers

CPC Basics

A Children's Product Certificate (CPC) is a document you create to certify your product complies with applicable children's safety rules. The certificate is based on third-party testing at a CPSC-accepted lab and should match your product details and listing. Amazon may also request the full lab test report alongside the CPC.

The Fastest Path to an Amazon-Ready CPC (Step-by-Step)

1. Confirm it's a "children's product"

   If your product is primarily intended for ages 12 and under, you'll need third-party testing and a CPC. (General consumer goods typically use a GCC instead.)

2. Choose a CPSC-accepted lab and test

   Pick a lab accepted for your specific rules (e.g., ASTM F963 for toys, lead in paint, phthalates). Share your age grade and bill of materials so they scope the right tests.

3. Receive passing lab reports

   Keep the PDFs; Amazon often asks for these along with the CPC.

4. Generate your CPC from the lab report (no templates needed)

   Turn your lab PDF into a clean CPC that mirrors your listing details.

   Create a compliant CPC in minutes. Upload your lab report to DocAssure's CPC Generator and download a polished document for as little as $4 per document.

5. Keep your listing and docs aligned

   Product identifiers (SKU/ASIN), titles, manufacturer/importer info, dates, and cited standards should be consistent across the CPC, lab report, and Amazon detail page.

When Amazon asks for a CPC—and How to Submit It

Where requests appear

• Performance Notifications or Account Health: Amazon flags a compliance action and lists the ASIN(s).
• Manage Your Compliance (or a category-specific workflow): prompts you to upload documents.

What to upload

• CPC (PDF) that clearly lists: product ID/description, applicable safety rules/standards, manufacturer/importer details, date/place of manufacture, date/place of testing, CPSC-accepted lab info, and an authorized contact.
• Full lab test report(s) that match the CPC (same product, standards, dates, and lab).

Submission tips

• Name files clearly (e.g., ASIN_CPC_2025-09.pdf, ASIN_LabReport_ASTMF963_2025-08.pdf).
• Double-check that the CPC's standards and dates mirror the lab report.
• If variations exist (color/material), ensure the test basis covers each variant or provide separate reports/CPCs as needed.

After submission

Monitor the case in Account Health. If Amazon requests edits, update the CPC to resolve mismatches (names, addresses, dates, or standard citations) and re-upload.
