Testing and certification

  • On a GCC (general-use products): certification must be based on a test of each product or a reasonable testing program; third-party lab details are needed only if you rely on a third-party lab (CPSC GCC guidance).

Whichever certificate you issue must contain all seven elements of 16 CFR 1110.11: product ID, each applicable rule (including this one), certifier, records custodian, date and place of manufacture, date and place of testing, and the attestation. See CPC guidance / GCC guidance.

How to enter code 2056e

  • Product Registry CSV (CSV Guide V3): put it in the Lab N Citation Codes column of the lab that tested it; separate several codes with a semicolon, e.g. 2056e; 1303. Do not add commas.
  • Product Registry web form: pick 2056e from the citation drop-down.
  • Full PGA Message Set: your broker sends it in a PG60 record (one PG60 per citation).
