Battery-powered and electronic toys (incl. kids' learning tablets)

Certificate and rules

Conditional rules

These rules apply only when the condition fits your product.

• If plugs into a 120 V outlet: 16 CFR part 1505
• If contains or is sold with button cell or coin batteries (toys meeting the 16 CFR 1250 battery rules are exempt from part 1263): 15 U.S.C. 2056e; 16 CFR 1263.3; 16 CFR 1263.4
• If product has paint, ink, or a similar surface coating: 16 CFR part 1303
• If intended for children under 3: 16 CFR part 1501

Notes

F963 4.25 (battery-operated toys) needs third-party testing. Plug-in (120 V) toys also need 16 CFR 1505. A kids' device that is not a toy (no play purpose) is not covered by F963 and then 16 CFR 1263 applies if it has button or coin cells. CPSC flags HTS 8543.70 (portable interactive electronic education devices primarily designed for children) as CP2.

Other requirements

• Tracking label (CPSIA section 103) on product and packaging
