Children's product test report review checklist
A passing label on a test report is not enough to support certification. Importers should verify that the complete report covers the right product, applicable requirements, testing facility, and production context.
Product identity
- Compare product name, model, SKU, style, and photographs
- Confirm sample materials, colors, sizes, and components
- Connect the sample to the supplier and finished-product factory
- Investigate differences between the tested sample and imported goods
Report integrity
- Confirm all pages and appendices are present
- Record the report number, issue date, revision, and amendment history
- Identify the testing facility and address
- Review sample-receipt and testing dates
- Note qualifications, exclusions, deviations, or inconclusive findings
Requirements and methods
Map each applicable rule to the report section, method, result, and page. Check that the standard version and cited provisions are appropriate. A broad conclusion may not show that every applicable section was evaluated.
For children's product testing, verify the laboratory facility's CPSC-accepted scope for each relevant rule. Preserve evidence of the scope check.
Conflicts and gaps
Compare the report with the bill of materials, product specification, factory record, label artwork, and prior reports. Escalate mismatched model numbers, unexplained material changes, missing tests, altered photographs, or inconsistent dates.
Approval and reuse
Record who reviewed the report, any supplier explanation, and the final decision for each requirement. Before reusing a report, determine whether design, materials, component sourcing, process, factory, or applicable rules have changed.
ComplyMyImport can extract report fields with page references and confidence, but extracted data remains subject to deterministic checks and human review. A report does not automatically approve a product or issue a certificate.
This checklist is general educational information and not legal advice.
