Questions

Which CPSC rules name rattles and pacifiers?

2 parts of title 16 name rattles and pacifiers in the part's own title or scope: 16 CFR Part 1510, 16 CFR Part 1511. 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 rattle or pacifier 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 rattle or pacifier?

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.
