CPSC certificate evidence & change control

Your broker files the certificate. Someone still has to make the data true.

CPSC eFiling became mandatory for covered imports on July 8, 2026. The filing step is the easy part - your broker transmits three identifiers. The hard part is upstream: supplier sheets, lab reports, factory changes, and citations scattered across inboxes. We turn that into customer-approved, versioned certificate data with a broker-ready packet and a five-year evidence trail.

How it works

  1. Ingest the mess
  2. Surface the problems
  3. Version, approve & hand off

Built for importers who feel this every week

Fragmented evidence

Certificate data lives in factory spec sheets, two generations of lab reports, component certs, and email threads that disagree with each other.

Silent changes

A fabric supplier changes. A retest happens. Which shipment ships under which certificate version? Most teams can't answer without an archaeology project.

The five-year question

When CPSC or a buyer asks for the evidence behind a certificate, "let me search my email" is not a records program.

Not sure where you stand? Start with the health check

Try the 2-minute Certificate Data Health Check - ten questions, a transparent score, and the specific gaps a records request would expose. Nothing to install, nothing uploaded - it runs entirely in your browser. Optionally paste a CSV export to see field-level completeness, including manufacture-date checks.

What we actually do

1
Ingest the mess. Supplier sheets, lab reports, component testing, emails. Every certificate field gets a source document and an exact provenance reference.
2
Surface the problems. Contradictions (two manufacture dates), missing citations, stale reports - flagged in a queue a human resolves with a recorded rationale. The software never decides applicability.
3
Version and approve. Internal review and your data approval are separate recorded events. Completed versions are immutable; changes create new versions.
4
Hand off and retain. A broker packet with your Certifier ID, Product ID, and Version ID; a workpaper for the Product Registry; and a zip-ready evidence bundle for the five-year records window.

What we deliberately do not do

We do not replace the free CPSC Product Registry, do not file ACE/ABI entries, do not certify products, do not decide which rules apply to your product, and do not claim "Registry-ready" output until our export template is frozen against the current official CPSC template and passes validation. Certification and filing remain with you and your broker - we make the data you certify defensible.

Pricing is a founding-cohort hypothesis - to be validated in the first 15 qualified interviews. Limits and terms finalized before first sale.

Trust, plainly stated

QuestionAnswer
Where does each field come from?Every field links to a source document, page/cell reference, approver, and timestamp.
Can a completed certificate version be edited?No. Completed versions are immutable; corrections create linked versions with reasons.
Do you make compliance determinations?No. Applicability, testing sufficiency, and certification are yours and your qualified reviewer's; we record those decisions.
What do you retain?The full evidence bundle and version history for the five-year records window, exportable on demand.
Is my data used to train AI models?No customer data enters any consumer AI tool. Any model-assisted processing runs under commercial no-training terms - or not at all, at your election.
