What the Mat Certifications Actually Mean

Quick answer: The certifications that matter tell you a mat's materials were independently tested: USP Class VI checks biocompatibility, OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Class I is the strictest infant tier for harmful substances, and CPSIA and ASTM F963 cover child-product safety. PopsyKosy holds all of these.

Each cert, in plain terms

USP Class VI is a biocompatibility standard, OEKO-TEX Class I limits harmful substances at the strictest infant level, and CPSIA and ASTM F963 are child-product safety rules.

Why independent testing matters

These are third-party checks, not self-applied labels, so they carry weight that a vague non-toxic claim does not.
