Regulatory requirements for child care articles vary greatly between each product. There is no simple guide to know what specific testing your product may need. At AM Testing and Services, our lab experts have the expertise to evaluate your product and give a quote as to which testing requirements will need to be fulfilled for the product to be safe and compliant. We take the time to work with you throughout every step of the child care product testing process to ensure you always know the status of your products.
The CPSC requires child care article products to be tested to meet safety requirements for mechanical hazards, chemical properties, and flammability. Additional FDA testing may be recommended as well depending on your individual situation and which country you reside in. Your product must always comply and have a certificate that shows conformity to sell child care article products. So, do not get caught without one!
