Whichever of these rules the certifier decides to cite, 16 CFR 1110.11(a)(2) requires each one to be stated separately. The certificate carries the same seven elements in every case — see what a certificate must contain for each one and the text it comes from.

Questions

Which CPSC rules name bath and changing products?

3 parts of title 16 name bath and changing products in the part's own title or scope: 16 CFR Part 1215, 16 CFR Part 1234, 16 CFR Part 1235. Each is quoted on this page from the eCFR. A rule naming a product class is not a finding that it covers any particular item.

Does a bath or changing product need a CPC or a GCC?

Finished product certificate means a certificate of compliance for a finished product, as defined in this section, that is required by § 1110.5. There are two types of finished product certificates: Children's Product Certificates (CPCs) and General Certificates of Conformity (GCCs). Which one a finished product takes follows from whether it is a children's product. Children's product means a consumer product designed or intended primarily for children 12 years of age or younger. That determination is the certifier's, not something a product category can settle.

What has to be on the certificate?

16 CFR 1110.11(a) requires seven elements: product identification, rules certified to, finished product certifier, individual maintaining records, date and place of manufacture, date and place of testing, certifier's attestation. They are the same seven whether the certificate is a CPC or a GCC.

Does a rule listed here apply to my bath or changing product?

Not necessarily. This page reports which parts name the product class in their own text. Whether a given rule covers a particular item, and therefore belongs on its certificate, is the certifier's judgement under 16 CFR 1110.15. Read each part's scope before citing it.
