CPSIA Age Label and Safety Warning Verification
The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) is a United States federal law that sets safety standards for children's products to protect the public from unsafe consumer goods. One of its critical provisions requires manufacturers, importers, and distributors to properly age grade their products and ensure compliance with CPSIA labeling regulations.
For toys and other children’s products, proper age grading is not just a legal requirement; it ensures product safety and protects consumers. Incorrect or misleading age grading can lead to serious injuries or even death if the toy poses hazards that are inappropriate for its intended user group. This service focuses on CPSIA compliance through meticulous verification of age labeling and safety warnings.
Our team of experts uses state-of-the-art equipment and follows stringent protocols to ensure accurate age grading and labeling in accordance with CPSIA requirements. We provide detailed reports that outline our findings, ensuring complete transparency for our clients. With this service, we help toy manufacturers navigate complex regulatory landscapes and maintain a strong reputation for product safety.
Compliance with CPSIA is essential not only to avoid legal penalties but also to ensure the trust of consumers and retailers. Our services are designed to support your quality management efforts by offering reliable testing that aligns with international standards such as ASTM F963-17, which covers toy safety.

Quality and Reliability Assurance
Our service is designed to provide clients with the confidence that their products are CPSIA compliant. We employ rigorous testing protocols and use sophisticated equipment to ensure accuracy in age grading and labeling.
The process begins with a thorough review of your product specifications, including intended age group and any safety warnings or instructions. Our team then prepares specimens for testing according to ASTM F963-17 guidelines. This includes examining the packaging and labels for correct age grading statements as well as any required warning messages.
Testing involves visual inspections and, where necessary, physical assessments to ensure that there are no parts small enough to pose a choking hazard for younger children. We also check for sharp edges or points on toys that could cause injury if not properly labeled with an appropriate age range.
Once testing is complete, we generate detailed reports summarizing our findings. These reports include photographs of any non-compliant aspects of the product as well as recommendations for corrective actions should they be needed. Our goal is to provide you with actionable insights that will help maintain and enhance your company’s reputation for producing safe products.
