The American ASTM F963 standard specifies in detail the requirements for materials, design, manufacturing and testing of children's toys to ensure the safety of toys. For children's toys such as baby walkers, the specific requirements for materials in the ASTM F963 standard usually include but are not limited to the following points:
1. Non-toxic: All materials and coatings must be non-toxic and contain no toxic substances that may cause harm to children.
2. Heavy metal content restrictions: There are strict restrictions on the content of heavy metals in materials, such as lead, cadmium, mercury and chromium.
3. Flammability: Materials must be sufficiently flame retardant to reduce the risk of fire.
4. Physical and mechanical properties: Materials must have appropriate strength and durability to withstand normal use and abuse.
5. Small Parts: Make sure there are no small parts that can fall off to avoid the risk of suffocation for children.
6. Sharp edges and points: Materials and design must ensure there are no sharp edges and points to prevent cuts or punctures.
7. Stability: The materials and structural design of the walker must ensure stability during intended use and prevent it from tipping over.
8. Cleaning and Hygiene: Materials should be easy to clean and disinfect to maintain children's hygiene and health.
9. Chemical properties: Chemical substances in materials must comply with the chemical requirements in the standard, including restrictions on certain chemical substances.
10. Sensory properties: If the walker contains parts that may be placed in the mouth of a child, the sensory properties of these parts (such as taste and smell) should also comply with the requirements.
11. Batteries and electronic components: If the walker contains batteries or electronic components, the materials and design of these components must also meet the standards.
Please note that the specific requirements of the ASTM F963 standard may change based on version updates, and manufacturers should always refer to the latest version of the standard and work with a professional testing laboratory to ensure that products meet all applicable material requirements. In addition, in addition to ASTM F963, baby walkers sold in the United States may also need to comply with other specific requirements of the CPSC (U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission).
