Rules that apply, with conditions to check
- CPSC children's product third-party testing and Children's Product Certificate (CPC) (Children's Product Certificate (CPC)): conditions to check: Applies only when a children's product safety rule actually covers the product; which rules apply depends on product type. Whether a product is 'designed or intended primarily for' children 12 or younger is a judgement test. Some products have exemptions or no-testing determinations but still need a CPC. Third-party testing or certification required
