CPC for infant bouncers
Which rules apply to infant bouncers
- Infant bouncer seats are commonly tested to ASTM F2167 with CPSIA lead/phthalate screening on frames, toys, and textiles.
- CPSIA section 101 total lead content in accessible substrate materials.
- 16 CFR part 1303 lead in paint and surface coatings where painted or coated.
- CPSIA section 103 tracking labels: manufacturer, location, and date of manufacture on product and packaging.
The testing and certification path
Stability, restraint, toy-bar integrity, and chemistry on every accessible part. Sleep-marketing claims on bouncers are an enforcement hotspot.
Book testing at a laboratory that is CPSC-accepted for each rule, issue the CPC in your own name citing the rules your report supports, and keep the certificate with its test report for at least five years. Marketplaces ask for the pair, not the certificate alone.
Questions people ask
Can I market a bouncer for sleep?
No. Keep awake, supervised-use positioning. Sleep claims invite CPSC and marketplace action.
Do removable toy bars need separate coverage?
Include them in the product testing when they ship with the bouncer.
