Frequently asked questions
What if my lab is not on the list?
A certificate from a lab not on the list does not meet CPSC requirements. Contact a CPSC-accepted lab for retesting, or search the CPSC website directly to confirm.
How often does CPSC update the accepted lab list?
CPSC updates the list continuously — as new labs gain acceptance and existing labs are suspended or withdrawn. This tool syncs weekly, but always confirm on the CPSC website before relying on any certificate.
My lab was accepted when I tested but has since been withdrawn. Is my certificate still valid?
This depends on CPSC's specific notices and your product category. Generally, certificates must rest on testing by a CPSC-accepted lab. After withdrawal, certificates citing that lab face rejection risk. Follow CPSC guidance and arrange retesting if needed.
What if the lab's scope doesn't match my product?
A lab's acceptance scope covers specific test standards and product categories. If your product's applicable standards are not in the lab's scope, that lab is not qualified to certify your product. Find a lab whose scope covers your product's test requirements.
