CPC for kids’ play couches

Which rules apply to kids’ play couches

• Modular kids’ play couches are children’s upholstered articles: foam and fabric flammability review, lead and phthalate testing on fabrics and vinyl bases, small parts on hook-and-loop or hardware, and structural design documentation for climbing use.
• 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

Testing covers flammability of the textile and foam combination, lead and phthalates in fabrics and base materials, and design documentation for the climbing configurations the marketing shows. Realistic use is climbing — the marketing that invites it should match tested capability.

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.
