basic introduction

The Consumer Goods Safety Association (CPSC) of the United States passed the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSIA) in 2008, placing many important regulatory responsibilities on manufacturers, distributors, retailers and exporters of consumer products, especially toys and children’s products. Toys and children's products entering the United States must meet CPSIA product safety requirements and be tested by a CPSC accredited testing laboratory to issue a children's product certificate (CPC) or general product certificate (GPC) to prove their compliance with relevant federal regulations and mandatory safety Standards and, where feasible, attach permanent tracking information to the product and its packaging.

ZRLK is an independent third-party testing and certification laboratory that has been recognized by CPSC. Our testing capabilities not only cover CPSIA requirements, but also extend to other regulatory testing requirements such as ASTM F963 for toys and children's products.
