Which CPSC certificate do I need?

Pick your product type. We show the CPSC rules that likely apply, whether you need a General Certificate of Conformity (GCC) or a Children's Product Certificate (CPC), and whether a CPSC-accepted lab has to test it. Free, no sign-up.

Designed or intended primarily for children 12 or younger?

For example 9503.00. We only use the first 6 digits. Your broker handles the full classification.

General information based on CPSC's published rule lists, not legal advice and not a compliance determination. Your lab, broker or attorney confirms what applies to your exact product.

Certificate type

General Certificate of Conformity (GCC)

General-use products need a GCC. It must be based on a test of each product or a reasonable testing program, which can be done by any lab, including your manufacturer's.

Third-party testing

Not required by CPSC

You can rely on your own or your manufacturer's testing, as long as it supports each rule you certify.
