16 CFR Part 1231

16 CFR Part 1231 is Safety Standard for High Chairs.

The eCFR records this part as last amended on 2022-07-25.

How to cite this on a certificate

16 CFR 1110.11(a)(2) requires each applicable rule to be stated separately. Listing it like this satisfies the form of the requirement:

16 CFR Part 1231 — Safety Standard for High Chairs

Citing a rule does not make it applicable, and 16 CFR 1110.11(a)(2) asks for every applicable rule. Whether this one applies to your product depends on its materials, construction and intended user age, which is your determination to make.
