Which rules apply to wipe warmers
- Wipe warmers used in nurseries need electrical safety, accessible-part chemistry, and temperature/safety design review.
- 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
Heater safety, enclosure materials, cord management, and lids. Keep electrical reports with 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.
