Amazon, TEMU, SHIEN, TITOK, eBay, and AliExpress require GCC certification for certain products, which may face risks such as delisting, confiscation, fines, or lawsuits. (VX: evelyn0216) The GCC certificate is a written general conformity certificate that manufacturers and importers must provide under the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) for general use products (non-children’s products). Lighters are very common in our daily lives, typically used by consumers to light cigarettes or for other purposes. Therefore, this product must have a child safety protection device to meet quality and safety requirements. The safety standard for disposable lighters is 16 CFR 1210.4, while the standard for multi-purpose lighters is 16 CFR 1212.4. Lighters that do not comply with these requirements will violate this safety law of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The purpose of this regulation is to reduce injuries and deaths caused by children under five playing with lighters and starting fires. Currently, products like toys listed on Amazon, TEMU, and AliExpress provide CPC certificates and GCC certificates. What are the differences between them? The U.S. GCC certificate (General Certificate of Conformity) and CPC certificate (Children’s Product Certificate) have significant differences in several aspects, as detailed in the following comparative analysis: Scope of application: GCC certificate: Applicable to non-children’s products, i.e., products listed in the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) product list, but excluding consumer products specifically designed or intended for use by children aged 12 and under. CPC certificate: Specifically targets consumer products designed or intended for use by children aged 12 and under, ensuring these products comply with all relevant U.S. children’s product safety regulations and other laws. Testing report requirements: GCC certificate: The content can be based on test results from in-house laboratories or third-party laboratories. Manufacturers or importers must provide testing records or reasonable testing procedures for each product for the GCC.
