CPC Standards for Child Safety Gates and Barriers

Child safety gates and barriers are used to set up enclosures within doorways (such as entrances) or as self-supporting barriers to enclose areas where young children may be active. These products may be made from materials such as plastic, metal, vinyl, or wooden components. This policy includes, but is not limited to, expandable barriers, retractable safety gates, and pressure-mounted safety gates.
According to Amazon's requirements, all child safety gates and barriers must be tested and comply with the following specific regulations or standards:
Child Safety Gates and Barriers Regulations/Standards Requirements: CPSIA + ASTM F1004 + 16 CFR 1130 Registration Card

This policy primarily applies to child barriers and safety gates intended for children aged 6 months to 3 years. For younger infants or those unable to crawl, the safety standard for play yards is ASTM F406-19. For barriers installed on the sides of children's or adult beds, the testing standard is ASTM F2085-19.
The CPC (Children's Product Certificate) applies to all products primarily intended for children aged 12 and under, such as toys, cribs, children's clothing, etc. If manufactured locally in the U.S., the manufacturer is responsible for providing it; if produced in other countries, the importer must provide it. This means that cross-border sellers, acting as "importers," need to provide the CPC certificate to Amazon as the retailer/distributor when selling products manufactured in Chinese factories to the U.S.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA) stipulates that manufacturers and importers of children's products must provide a written Children's Product Certificate based on test results from a CPSC-accepted laboratory to demonstrate that their products comply with the applicable children's product safety regulations.
