ASTM F963 Toy Testing Services - Third-Party Inspection
In recent years, the US CPSIA regulations have been updated frequently with increasingly strict requirements, and product recalls due to quality issues with children's products have also occurred frequently, causing significant losses to many companies. Therefore, how to meet the increasingly stringent regulatory requirements of US market supervision has become a difficult problem faced by many children's product manufacturers and exporters, and it is also key to winning the US market. Today, let Xiaobian from Huabiao Testing guide you on how to handle ASTM F963 toy testing?
What is ASTM F963 testing?The ASTM F963 standard, established by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), is a globally recognized mandatory safety standard for children's toys. This standard covers a variety of aspects such as the materials, structure, performance, and labeling of toys, aiming to prevent potential injuries and risks and ensure the safety of children during use. Whether it is baby toys, toddler toys, or children's toys, they must pass the ASTM F963 test before being sold in the US market.
Contents of ASTM F963 testingChemical performance testing is an important part of the ASTM F963 standard, mainly testing for toxic chemicals that may be present in toys, such as phthalates and cadmium. Ningbo Huabiao Testing uses advanced GC-MS and other chemical analysis equipment to accurately detect the content of chemicals in toys, ensuring that the products meet relevant safety standards.
Physical and mechanical performance testingPhysical and mechanical performance testing primarily assesses the structural strength and durability of toys. Ningbo Huabiao Testing uses various methods such as drop testing, torque testing, and tensile testing to comprehensively check for potential safety hazards such as the strength of toy connections, sharp edges, and points, to ensure that toys do not cause harm to children during use.
