CPC for doorway and activity jumpers

Doorway and activity jumpers designed or marketed to children 12 and under are children’s products: they need third-party testing at a CPSC-accepted laboratory and a Children’s Product Certificate citing jumper standards, lead, and design rules, plus tracking labels on the product and packaging. The importer or US manufacturer issues the CPC — marketplaces can request it at any time.

Which rules apply to doorway and activity jumpers

  • Infant jumpers (doorway and activity-center styles) are evaluated against applicable ASTM jumper standards plus CPSIA chemistry and small-parts rules on toys.
  • 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

Suspension/hardware strength, seat integrity, doorway clamp design, and toy attachments. Weight and developmental age claims must match the test plan.

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

Are doorway jumpers still sellable?

Many retailers restrict them. If you sell them, the standard’s performance and warning requirements are non-negotiable.

Do activity jumpers with trays need tray testing?

Yes: trays, toys, and fasteners are part of the product as sold.
