How to check a CPSC bulk-upload CSV before uploading

A short pre-upload process for businesses preparing a CPSC Product Registry bulk CSV. It focuses on the file work, not on making a legal or regulatory determination.

01

Start with the official CSV materials

CPSC’s eFiling document library is the source for the current Product Registry CSV template and upload guide.

02

Keep the spreadsheet export intact

Before changing individual values, make sure there is one usable header row and that every record has the expected number of columns.

03

Run a focused file preflight

Check the CSV for common structural and data-entry problems while it remains in your browser, then see the rows that need review.

04

Use the corrected CSV as a working copy

FileCheck applies only defined, safe formatting repairs. Compare the final CSV with your source records and the current CPSC materials before submission.

Ready for the file check?

Catch common CSV problems before they create upload rework.

Upload the selected CSV to FileCheck, review the results, and download a corrected working copy when the report is clear. FileCheck does not submit the file to CPSC.

The official CPSC guidance and template remain controlling. Open the CPSC eFiling document library ↗
