You've done the hard part. Let me help make it official.

You've chosen safe materials, gathered supplier statements, and maybe even sent your components or products to a lab. Your Children's Product Certificate is where it all comes together. It's your written statement that your product meets every CPSC rule that applies to it.

Finding the right citations, though? That means digging through regulations, exemption lists, and toy standard sections with a dozen tabs open, hoping you didn't miss one. I've been doint this for makers for more than a decade, so let me take this one off your plate.

What you get

• A Children's Product Certificate written for your product, citing the rules, exemptions, testing, and supplier statements that apply.
• Laid out the way CPSC expects, ready to share with Amazon, TikTok, and any shops that ask.
• Your Small Batch Manufacturer number in the right spots, if you're registered.
• Simple instructions for creating new documents when you make a new batch, retest, or make a change to your product.
• A Word document, sent by email, so you can edit it yourself.

How many certificates do I need?

Each purchase is one certificate. Handmade products can share a certificate when they are in the same category and are either:

• Made from similar materials with identical exemptions. Example: 100% fabric tees, dresses, and joggers all sewn from plain-surfaced fabrics. Example: Zippered dresses and joggers all sewn from plain-surfaced fabrics.
• The same type of product with similar construction. Example: 100% fabric stuffed giraffe and 100% fabric stuffed dog.
• The same type of product on the same test report. Example: Wood toy with wheels in duck shape and elephant shape.

Size and color variations typically do not need their own certificate because they don't change the finished product.

You'll need a separate certificate when something can change the testing or exemptions such as:

• Raised-surfaced fabrics (fleece, French terry, corduroy, velour, sherpa) instead of plain-surfaced fabrics.
• Hardware like zippers, snaps, buttons, or clips.
• Differing categories: Clothing, Hats & Hair Accessories, Blankets, Lovies, Stuffed Toys, Wood Toys, Pacifier Leashes, and Teethers each get their own certificate.

Not sure? Email me before you buy at Hello@TheMakersResourceShop.com and I'll tell you how many you'll need.

Importing your products? This listing is for products you make yourself. If your products are made by a factory overseas, you'll want my CPC for Importers instead.

What happens after I pay?

1. You'll get an email with a link to my intake form.
2. Fill out one section per certificate and upload (or email) any lab reports and supplier statements.
3. I'll write your certificate an email it to you as a Word document within 7 business days (Mon-Thursday schedule), or 3 business days with Rush service. Your turnaround starts once I have your completed form and documents.

Good to know

• Your certificate cites the CPSC rules in effect on the date I write it.
• I build your certificate from the information and documents you provide. I don't test products or verify test reports or supplier statements and a written certificate is not a guarantee that your products comply with CPSC regulation. As the certifier, you remain legally responsible for everything on your certificate (16 CFR §1110.15). Please review it before you use it.
• Any missing information (such as test reports or supplier statements) will be indicated on your certificate as applicable.
• Because each certificate is custom work, this service is non-refundable.
