Compliance FAQs

First and foremost, thank you for your continued partnership and loyalty to Multicraft. We truly
appreciate the trust you place in us.
We are pleased to inform you that independent third-party laboratory certifications have now been
completed, allowing Multicraft to issue both a:

• General Certificate of Conformity (GCC)
• Children’s Product Certificate (CPC)
  For qualified customers exclusively using the complete Multicraft NuCoat Digitall™ DTF certified
  system of Ink/film/powder or the Multicraft Digital Savy film/powder with Mimaki PHT50/60
  inks. For Mimaki Ink users, customers will have a choice of the NuCoat Digitall Premium film with 5
  kilo powder bags or Multicraft Digital Savvy film & 1 kilo powder bags.
  As you know, your customers are closely monitoring the upcoming July 8th CPSC (Consumer
  Product
  Safety Commission) deadline. We want to ensure you are fully prepared to support their needs and
  to help you leverage your compliance readiness as a competitive advantage to win additional
  business.

What This Means:
A GCC (General Certificate of Conformity) certifies that products comply with all applicable U.S.
consumer product safety rules.
This applies to products for general consumers. You write it, sign it, and stand behind it. No agency
hands it to you — you earn it by verifying your product meets the standards set by the CPSC, the
U.S.

Consumer Product Safety Commission. It’s your documented proof that you know what’s in your
materials and that they’re legal and safe for market as they meet CPSIA Prop 65 testing standards.

A CPC (Children’s Product Certificate) is required for products primarily intended for children 12
years of age and under and confirms compliance with CPSIA Prop 65 testing standards through
independent third-party lab verification.

The CPC standard is higher — internal documentation isn’t enough. An independent, CPSC-
approved laboratory must verify your product before it ever reaches a child. Both certificates must be
available to retailers, distributors, and the CPSC upon request.

When you make or import a product sold to consumers in the United States, the government
expects you to prove it’s safe and meets the applicable rules. In decorated apparel and DTF
production, that proof comes in two forms — and understanding them is the foundation of a supply
chain you can stand behind.

In DTF, both come into play. Adult retail operate

s under GCC standards. Anything touching a
children’s brand or retailer steps into CPC territory, where third-party testing is non-negotiable.

This matters because the DTF supply chain is flooded with cheap, undocumented materials that
carry
real risk — to the people producing with them, to the brands whose names are on the finished
product, and to the end consumer. Someone always absorbs that risk. These certificates are how
responsible businesses make sure it isn’t quietly passed downstream.
Building toward GCC and CPC compliance isn’t about fear. It’s about confidence — knowing what’s
in your materials, doing the homework, and being able to stand behind what you put into the
market. In a space still finding its standards, that’s not just good practice. It’s a competitive
advantage.

These documents are not marketing pieces — they are formal compliance certifications tied to
regulatory requirements.

Why This Matters
Regulatory enforcement within decorated apparel and DTF production is increasing. Violations of
CPSIA and related safety standards can carry penalties of up to $2,500 per violation, and in some
cases significantly more depending on severity and intent.
In addition, third-party compliance auditors are actively reviewing decorated products in the
marketplace.

A GCC applies to general consumer products and certifies compliance with all applicable U.S. consumer product safety rules, including CPSIA testing standards. It’s a self-issued document: the manufacturer, importer, or private labeler verifies their own product meets the standards and signs their name to it. No outside agency issues it. It’s earned through internal diligence and stands as documented proof that a business knows what’s in its materials and that those materials are legal and safe for market.

A CPC is required for products primarily intended for children age 12 and under. It carries a higher bar: compliance with CPSIA standards must be verified by an independent, CPSC-approved third-party laboratory before the product ever reaches a child. Internal documentation alone isn’t sufficient. Both GCCs and CPCs must be made available to retailers, distributors, and the CPSC upon request.

In DTF production, both certificates come into play depending on the end use: adult retail generally falls under GCC standards, while anything touching a children’s brand or retailer moves into CPC territory, where third-party testing is non-negotiable.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission, or CPSC, is a United States federal regulatory agency that sets rules and safety standards for consumer products.

On January 8, 2025, the CPSC issued a Final Rule updating its regulations for Certificates of Compliance, aligning them with the agency’s broader testing and certification requirements and introducing electronic filing (eFiling) with U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The rule applies to importers, domestic manufacturers, and private labelers who certify consumer products and substances regulated by the CPSC for import or distribution in the United States. This new ruling takes effect July 8, 2026.

Regulatory enforcement in decorated apparel and DTF production is increasing, and third-party compliance auditors are actively reviewing products already in the marketplace. Violations of CPSIA and related safety standards can carry penalties of up to $2,500 per violation, with significantly higher penalties possible depending on severity and intent.

The DTF supply chain today includes a wide range of undocumented materials that carry real risk: to the people producing with them, to the brands whose names end up on the finished product, and to the end consumer. Businesses that apply DTF transfers to finished garments become the final producers of those decorated products, and final producers typically carry responsibility for ensuring the finished item meets CPSIA/CPSC requirements.
