WHAT IS CPSIA ?

CPSIA is refer to Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA). CPSIA requires a domestic manufacturer or importer of a consumer product subject to a rule, or standard to issue a certificate certifying conformity. That certificate must be available at importation and can accompany the shipment physically or be available electronically.

These requirements apply to all consumer products with an applicable CPSC rule,or standard, whether children’s products or general use (non-children’s) products. Certificates for general use products are known as General Conformity Certificates (GCCs). The certificates for children’s products do not have a defined name in the law but are sometimes referred to as Children’s Product GCCs or Children’s Product Certificates (CPCs); the CPSC has been using the latter name recently. Both GCCs and CPCs must be based on a compliant testing program, either a Reasonable Testing Program, or Children’s Product Testing Program based on third-party testing, respectively.
