CPSC citation code 1610: Standard for the Flammability of Clothing Textiles

Code 1610 is the eFiling citation code CPSC assigns to 16 CFR 1610 (Standard for the Flammability of Clothing Textiles). You enter it exactly as shown when you certify a product to this rule, whether in the CPSC Product Registry, in a Product Registry bulk-upload CSV, or in a Full PGA Message Set filed by your customs broker.

Citation code	`1610`
Regulation	16 CFR 1610: Standard for the Flammability of Clothing Textiles (official text)
Certificate type(s) in CPSC's list	CPC and GCC
Testing exclusions linked to this code	2

Testing and certification

On a CPC (children's products): certification must be based on testing by a CPSC-accepted third-party laboratory; in the Registry CSV that lab is entered as Lab Type ITL with its CPSC lab ID.
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.

Testing exclusions you can claim with 1610

If an exclusion applies, still cite 1610, and add the exclusion code under a lab entry with Type NOL (no lab) instead of a test date and lab (CPSC citation/exclusion guidance, Sept 2026).

Exclusion code	What CPSC excludes
`1610.1(d)(1)`	16 CFR 1610.1(d)(1): Exemption from testing the flammability of clothing and textiles for plain surface fabrics weighing 2.6 ounces per square yard or more
`1610.1(d)(2)`	16 CFR 1610.2(d)(2): Exemption from testing the flammability of clothing and textiles for fabrics of certain composition

How to enter code 1610

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. 1610; 1303. Do not add commas.
Product Registry web form: pick 1610 from the citation drop-down.
Full PGA Message Set: your broker sends it in a PG60 record (one PG60 per citation).
