The process of ASTM F963 testing of toy products can be divided into the following steps:
1. Understand the ASTM F963 standard:
- ASTM F963 is a standard specification for the safety of children's toys developed by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM).
- The standard includes provisions for physical and mechanical properties, combustion properties and chemical properties.
2. Prepare samples:
- Make sure that the samples meet the requirements of the ASTM F963 standard.
- The samples should represent the actual products produced to ensure the accuracy of the test results.
3. Submit a test application:
- Submit a test application to an approved third-party testing agency.
- Provide relevant samples and information, such as product manuals, technical specifications, etc.
4. Conduct tests:
- The testing agency will conduct a series of tests on the samples, including but not limited to:
- Physical and mechanical property tests: such as tensile strength, compressive strength, abrasion resistance, tear resistance, etc.
- Flame retardancy test: test burning speed, burning time, residue after burning, etc.
- Heavy metal content test: Test the content of heavy metal elements such as lead and cadmium.
- Phthalates content test: Ensure that the product meets the requirements of relevant regulations and standards.
- Electrical safety test (for charged toys): such as impact test, drop test, combustion test, etc.
5. Record test results:
- Record the test results and form a test report.
- Ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data.
6. Review and evaluation:
- The testing agency reviews the test report to ensure that it meets the requirements of ASTM F963.
- It may be necessary to contact the applicant for more information or to conduct product sampling.
7. Obtain certification:
- If the sample meets the requirements of ASTM F963, the testing agency will issue an ASTM F963 certification certificate.
- The certification cycle is generally 5-7 working days, excluding any delays that may be encountered.
8. Follow-up:
- After the product is launched on the market, regular sampling tests may be required to ensure continued compliance with the requirements of the ASTM F963 standard.
Through the above steps, toy products can ensure compliance with the US ASTM F963 testing standard and thus enter the US market smoothly.
