The ERGO Baby Carrier, Inc. is pleased to announce that we are now certified by JPMA. Our Certification number is (5108)338-0123.
The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association, Inc. is a national trade organization representing 95% of the $7.3 billion industry. It was formed in 1962 and has grown to include 250 companies in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
JPMA developed an extensive, unique Certification Program that has been guiding parents and caregivers for 25 years toward purchasing juvenile products that are built with safety in mind. Parents can look for their seal on product packaging.
To become JPMA certified, a product must be tested by an independent testing facility for compliance with the specific ASTM (American Society for Testing & Materials) standards. If a product passes the tests, JPMA allows the manufacturer to label it with the JPMA Certified Seal.
The ASTM developed and published the standards. JPMA and industry members, consumer groups and staff from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission were involved in the development of the standards.
