Code 1616 is the eFiling citation code CPSC assigns to 16 CFR 1616 (Safety Standard for the Flammability of Children’s Sleepwear: Sizes 7 through 14). 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.

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.

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 1616

  • 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. 1616; 1303. Do not add commas.
  • Product Registry web form: pick 1616 from the citation drop-down.
  • Full PGA Message Set: your broker sends it in a PG60 record (one PG60 per citation).

Flammability standards cover clothing textiles (1610), vinyl plastic film (1611), children's sleepwear (1615/1616), carpets and rugs (1630/1631) and mattresses (1632/1633). Several of them apply to both children's and general-use products, so the same code can appear on a CPC or a GCC.
