Check a Citation Codes cell
Paste codes separated by commas, semi-colons or line breaks. Each is checked against CPSC's citation and testing exclusion lists.
What it checks
- Whether each code is in CPSC's list of 123 citation codes, September 2026 Update.
- Whether a code is one of the 53 testing exclusion codes. Those go in a lab entry of type NOL, not beside citation codes.
- Whether CPSC marks the code for the certificate type you chose.
- Codes with a space inside, such as 4.1 0, are not joined: that could be 4.1 or 4.10, and the checker will not pick one.
If providing more than one code, values must be separated by a semi-colon.CPSC User Guide for CSV Upload V3 (December 2025)
This checks format against CPSC's published lists and guides. It does not replace testing, and it cannot say which rules apply to a product.
Questions
How do I separate citation codes in the CPSC eFiling CSV?
With a semi-colon. CPSC's CSV guide says that if more than one code is provided, values must be separated by a semi-colon, for example 1215; 1216; 1217. A comma would split the cell into two columns.
