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 1615 — Standard for the Flammability of Children's Sleepwear: Sizes 0 Through 6X (FF 3-71)

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.

Scope, from the regulation

In addition to the definitions given in section 2 of the Flammable Fabrics Act, as amended (15 U.S.C. 1191), the following definitions apply for purposes of this Standard: (a) Children's Sleepwear means any product of wearing apparel up to and including size 6X, such as nightgowns, pajamas, or similar or related items, such as robes, intended to be worn primarily for sleeping or activities related to sleeping, except: (1) Diapers and underwear; (2) “Infant garments,” as defined by section 1615.1(c), below; and (3) “Tight-fitting garments,” as defined by section 1615.1(o), below.
