CPC for kids’ fitness trackers

Kids’ fitness trackers 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 lead, phthalate, battery, and RF 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 kids’ fitness trackers

Wearables marketed to children need chemistry on bands/housings, battery safety, and RF authorization for Bluetooth modules.
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

Band phthalates, charging contacts, button cells, and privacy/app disclosures separate from the CPC.

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.
