Electric toys exported to the United States require ASTM F963 testing. ASTM F963 is an American toy testing standard developed by the National Bureau of Standards of the U.S. Department of Commerce. Toys exported to the United States need to undergo this certification and must obtain a certification certificate, otherwise they will not be allowed to circulate in the country's market. The main technical requirements of ASTM F963 include mechanical physical safety, combustion performance, chemical toxicity, electrical safety and microbiological safety.



ASTM F963 testing and certification guide for electric toys:

1. Understand the ASTM F963 standard: ASTM F963 is the American safety standard for electric toys, which includes the technical requirements for battery-powered toys. Manufacturers need to understand and comply with the requirements of this standard to ensure that electric toys meet U.S. market access requirements.

2. Prepare testing samples: According to the requirements of ASTM F963 standard, prepare electric toy samples that meet the requirements for testing. Specific requirements such as sample quantity and type need to be determined based on actual conditions.

3. Choose a suitable testing institution: Choose a testing institution that meets the requirements of ASTM F963 standard for testing. Testing agencies need to have appropriate qualifications and certifications to ensure the accuracy and reliability of test results.

4. Conduct testing: Send the prepared samples to the testing agency for testing. During the testing process, the testing agency will conduct various tests and analyzes on electric toys in accordance with the requirements of the ASTM F963 standard, including tests on battery polarity symbols, battery size and voltage value, battery accessibility, battery mixing, battery surface temperature, etc. .

5. Obtain the test report and certificate: After the testing agency completes the test, it will issue the corresponding test report and certificate. If the electric toy meets the requirements of the ASTM F963 standard, it can obtain the corresponding certification certificate, proving that the electric toy meets the US market access requirements and can be sold in the US market.

It should be noted that the requirements of the ASTM F963 standard may be constantly updated and changed, so electric toy manufacturers need to keep abreast of and comply with the latest standard requirements. In addition, the safety performance of electric toys is crucial, and manufacturers need to take various measures to ensure the safety and reliability of their products to protect the rights and safety of consumers.
