CPC for kids’ table and chair sets

Which rules apply to kids’ table and chair sets

• Children’s table and chair sets are children’s furniture: stability and strength design documentation, lead in substrates and coatings (formica-style surfaces, painted legs), small parts on hardware, and entrapment-aware design.
• 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

No dedicated federal standard, so certification cites the general children’s rules plus your design documentation: tip and load stability per chair, table strength under weight, gap review, and coating/substrate lead testing across every color variant. Color variants are separate coating tests — include each in the 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.
