16 CFR 1231 high chairs: the durable infant product rule and what Amazon asks for

High chairs are durable infant products: ASTM F404 via 16 CFR 1231, plus a product registration card (16 CFR 1130). What to test and cite.

The problem

16 CFR Part 1231 is the CPSC safety standard for high chairs. It incorporates ASTM F404 by reference. As durable infant or toddler products, high chairs also need a product registration card and permanent marking under 16 CFR 1130. (Note: 16 CFR 1215 is infant bath seats, not high chairs.)

Typical products: freestanding high chairs, convertible high chairs. Hook-on chairs (16 CFR 1233) and booster seats (16 CFR 1237) have their own rules.

What the lab tests: stability, restraint system, tray strength, and the warning labels required by ASTM F404 as referenced.

How to fix it

Confirm the rule applies to your product type and age grade (CPSC Regulatory Robot, then your lab).
Test at a CPSC-accepted lab whose accreditation scope includes 16 CFR 1231.
Cite it on the CPC exactly, e.g. 16 CFR Part 1231, and only if the report shows it was tested.
Make sure the product name, model/SKU and photos match across the report, CPC and Amazon listing.
Add the registration card (16 CFR 1130) and lead/phthalate citations that apply to accessible parts.
