Whether model toys need to undergo the ASTM F963 test of the US CPC mainly depends on whether they are sold as children's toys in the US market. ASTM F963 is an American toy testing standard developed under the auspices of the National Bureau of Standards of the U.S. Department of Commerce. It mainly focuses on the safety of children's toys.
How to test the American ASTM F963 of model toys?
1. Physical and mechanical performance tests: This includes impact tests, drop tests, pull tests for component removal, pressure tests, deflection tests, etc. to evaluate the structural stability and use safety of the toys.
2. Combustion performance test: Conduct a horizontal combustion test on toys, requiring that the self-burning speed along the main axis of the toy after it catches fire is less than 2.5mm/s to ensure that the toy will not cause serious fire hazards during use.
3. Chemical performance test: mainly tests the migration of eight heavy metals and total lead content. For total lead content, in addition to the testing of metal substrates, there are also specific testing methods for coatings and similar surface coating materials. In addition, tests such as filler material cleanliness and plasticizer DEHP content in PVC may also be involved.
American ASTM F963 testing process for model toys:
1. Submit ASTM F963 test application: First, submit an application to the testing agency and provide relevant product information and materials. This information may include product pictures, product instructions, material lists, testing application forms, etc.
2. Prepare testing data: Prepare complete testing data according to the requirements of ASTM F963 standard. This includes ensuring that the product pictures clearly show the appearance and structure of the model toy, that the product instructions describe in detail how to use, safety warnings and other information, and that the material list lists all materials and ingredients used in the toy.
3. Conduct product testing: Send model toy samples to testing institutions for testing. The testing agency will conduct a series of tests on toys in accordance with the requirements of the ASTM F963 standard, including physical and mechanical performance tests, combustion performance tests, and chemical performance tests. These tests are designed to evaluate the safety of the toys and ensure they meet U.S. market access requirements.
4. Issue a test report if the test is qualified: If the model toy sample has been tested and meets the requirements of the ASTM F963 standard, the testing agency will issue a corresponding test report. This report will detail the test results and certify that the model toy meets safety standards for the U.S. market.
