JPMA’s Safety Certification

A Standard Of Excellence!

As a trade or consumer media outlet serving the juvenile products industry, you understand the importance of promoting product safety, quality, and performance to your audience. The participants in the JPMA Certification Program certainly do as well. One of JPMA’s top priorities is to promote the Certification Program and educate retailers and consumers of the importance of buying JPMA Certified products.

Since its inception in 1976, the JPMA Certification Program continues to grow and play an important role in the juvenile products industry. Currently, more than 2,000 products are JPMA Certified in 20 categories!

ASTM International develops and publishes the standards. JPMA manufacturers, retailers, other industry members, consumer groups and staff from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) are involved in the development of the standards.

The JPMA Certification Seal on a product tells consumers this product has been verified as conforming to the requirements established by ASTM, through independent laboratory testing and follow-up on-site inspection of the manufacturer's production line. The manufacturers that participate in the JPMA Certification Program are held to high standards and are obligated to meet those principles with every product. Our symbol of certification is a symbol of confidence that the juvenile products have met these performance standards. This confidence extends to parents in the buying decisions they make.
