Exporting children's bicycles to Amazon in the United States requires ASTM F963 testing. ASTM F963-17 is an American standard for children's toys and child care products. The requirements cover many aspects such as physical and mechanical properties, combustion properties, surface coatings, heavy metal content, etc. Since children's bicycles are products designed specifically for children, they must comply with all requirements of ASTM F963.

When children's bicycles are exported to Amazon in the United States, they need to be tested in accordance with ASTM F963 standards to ensure that they meet the safety requirements of the U.S. market. The ASTM F963 standard establishes a series of test items and requirements for the safety of children's toys.



ASTM F963 testing items for children’s bicycles:

1. Physical and mechanical performance testing: This includes testing the structural stability, strength and durability of children's bicycles, such as load-bearing testing, braking system performance testing, stability of handlebars and seats, etc. These tests are designed to ensure that children's bicycles will not be damaged or dangerous under normal use.

2. Hazardous substance content test: ASTM F963 standard limits the content of harmful substances in children's toys, such as heavy metals (lead, mercury, cadmium, etc.) and phthalates. For children's bicycles, the materials (such as frames, coatings, plastic parts, etc.) may need to be tested for harmful substance content to ensure that they comply with standard limits.

3. Combustion performance test: ASTM F963 requires the evaluation of the combustion performance of children's toys to reduce fire risks. For children's bicycles, the materials may need to be tested for flame retardancy to ensure they won't burn quickly if exposed to a fire source.



Children's bicycle ASTM F963 testing process:

1. Certification consultation: Confirm the testing cost and cycle, and understand the specific testing requirements and standards.

2. Sample preparation: Select children's bicycle samples that meet the requirements of ASTM F963 standard, and group and label them according to relevant requirements.

3. Fill in the application form: Submit the application to the certification agency and provide relevant product information and materials.

4. Contract signing and payment of fees: Sign a contract with the certification agency and pay the corresponding testing fees.

5. Sample delivery for testing: Send the prepared samples to the laboratory designated by the certification agency for testing. The laboratory will conduct physical and mechanical performance tests, hazardous substance content tests, combustion performance tests, etc. on the samples to evaluate whether children's bicycles meet the requirements of the ASTM F963 standard.

6. After the test is completed, the laboratory will issue a test report, including test results and evaluation conclusions. If the sample meets the requirements of ASTM F963 standard, the corresponding certification certificate will be obtained.

7. Follow-up services: After obtaining the certification certificate, the certification agency will provide follow-up services such as original reports and electronic reports for your product records and review.
