Toy figures need to be tested by American ASTM F963. ASTM F963 is the American toy testing standard. It is a mandatory certification for toy testing in the United States. As long as toy products exported to the United States, they need to be tested by ASTM F963.

1. Physical and mechanical performance testing
Physical and mechanical performance testing is an important part of evaluating the structural stability and safety of toy figures. These tests include but are not limited to:
1. Impact test: simulate the behavior of toys when impacted by external forces to evaluate their impact resistance.
2. Drop test: Test the damage of a toy after free fall from a certain height to evaluate its drop resistance.
3. Tension test for component removal: Test the firmness of the detachable components on the toy to prevent children from easily removing them and accidentally swallowing them.
4. Pressure test: Evaluate the deformation and damage of toys when subjected to pressure.
5. Flexion test: Test the performance of the toy when subjected to bending force to ensure that it will not be damaged due to excessive deflection during use.
2. Combustion performance test
The combustion performance test is to evaluate the performance of toy figures in a fire to ensure that they will not cause serious fire hazards. Specific test items include:
Horizontal burning test: In accordance with the requirements of 16CFR 1500.44, the toy is subjected to a horizontal burning test, and it is stipulated that the self-burning speed along the main axis of the toy after it catches fire must be less than 2.5mm/s. This requirement is intended to ensure that if the toy burns, it will not spread quickly, giving children enough time to escape.
3. Chemical performance testing
Chemical performance testing is to evaluate the harmful substances that may be present in toys and figures to ensure that they will not cause harm to children's health. The main test items include:
1. Heavy metal migration test: Test the migration amount of eight heavy metals (such as lead, cadmium, chromium, etc.) in toys to ensure that these heavy metals will not enter the body through contact with children's hands and mouths.
2. Total lead content test: In addition to the test of metal substrates, coatings and similar surface coating materials also have specific test methods, such as CPSC-CH-E1001-08.1, CPSC-CH-E1002-08.1 and CPSC-CH -E1003-09 etc.
In addition, depending on the specific product characteristics and usage scenarios, other chemical performance testing items may also be involved, such as filler material cleanliness, plasticizer DEHP content in PVC, etc.
4. Other safety performance tests
In addition to the above main test items, toy dolls may also involve the following safety performance tests during ASTM F963 testing:
1. Small parts test: Check whether there are small parts in the toy that may be swallowed by children to prevent the risk of suffocation.
2. Sharp edge and tip test: Check whether there are sharp edges or tips on the surface of the toy that may cut children.
3. Wire and rod testing: Check the safety of wires and rods to prevent children from being injured.
4. Folding mechanism and hinge test: Check the durability and safety of the folding mechanism and hinges.
