Whether pendant plush toys need to undergo American ASTM F963 testing depends on their use and purpose. If the pendant plush toy is sold as a toy, especially for the children's market, then it may need to undergo ASTM F963 testing to ensure that it meets the safety and quality requirements of the U.S. market.
American ASTM F963 testing items for pendant plush toys:
1. Material quality: Toys should be made of new or reprocessed materials. If reprocessed material is used, it must be refined so that its hazardous substance content meets standards.
2. Flammability: Non-textile (excluding paper) materials used in toys cannot be flammable. At the same time, any textiles used in toys should comply with relevant flammability requirements.
3. Toxicity:
Toxic Substances: Toys or materials used in toys must comply with the FHSA (Federal Hazardous Substances Act) and the regulations promulgated under the FHSA.
Manufacturing and packaging of food: Food sold with toys must be manufactured and packaged in compliance with regulations governing sanitary practices in the manufacture, processing, packaging and storage of human food.

Cosmetics: Toy cosmetics must comply with the relevant requirements in the FDCA.
Paint and similar surface coating materials: Paint and other similar surface coating materials used on toys must comply with regulations regarding lead content.
4. Physical and mechanical performance testing:
Filling materials: Check filling materials for cleanliness and safety.
Small Parts: Check toys for small parts that could be swallowed by children.
Accessible sharp edges and points: Check the surface of the toy for sharp edges or points that could injure a child.
Wires and poles: Check the safety of wires and poles to prevent injury to children.
Folding mechanism and hinges: Check the durability and safety of the folding mechanism and hinges.
