CPC for children’s gift sets

Which rules apply to children’s gift sets

• Children’s gift sets bundle multiple SKUs into one listing: every component is tested and certified for its own rules — the plush, the crayons, the stickers, and the packaging each bring their own requirements, and one certificate lists them all per product.
• 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

The certification discipline is per-component: identify every item in the set, test each against its applicable rules, and issue a CPC whose rule list is the union of the components’ requirements. Sets regularly fail audits because one untested component (stickers, a small figurine, a candy-adjacent item) was skipped.

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.
