As a sports equipment toy for children, children's scooters need to comply with the ASTM F963 standard and undergo corresponding tests when sold in the US market. The following are the main items of the US ASTM F963 test for children's scooters:
1. Physical and mechanical performance test
Edge and tip test: Ensure that there are no sharp parts on the edges and tips of the scooter to prevent cutting children.
Small parts test: Evaluate whether small parts (such as screws, nuts, etc.) on the scooter are easy to fall off to avoid being swallowed by children.
Impact and drop test: Simulate the performance of the scooter when it is impacted or dropped by external forces to evaluate its structural stability and durability.
Folding mechanism and hinge test: Evaluate the durability and safety of the scooter's folding device and hinge to ensure that it will not fail suddenly during use.
Abuse test: Simulate the performance of the scooter under extreme use conditions to evaluate its tolerance and durability.
2. Combustion performance test
Perform a horizontal combustion test in accordance with the requirements of 16CFR 1500.44 to evaluate the flammability of the scooter. Ensure that the self-burning speed along the main axis of the scooter after it catches fire is lower than the specified value to reduce the risk of fire.
III. Chemical performance test
Heavy metal content test: Detect the content of soluble lead, cadmium, mercury and other heavy metals in the scooter to ensure compliance with safety standards.
Specific element migration test: Evaluate the migration of specific elements (such as antimony, barium, chromium, selenium, etc.) in the scooter under specific conditions to ensure that it will not cause harm to children's health.
Phthalates test: Detect whether the scooter contains excessive amounts of phthalates chemicals to ensure compliance with relevant regulatory requirements.
In summary, children's scooters sold in the US market need to undergo multiple ASTM F963 test items to ensure that they meet safety standards and protect children's health and safety. Manufacturers and importers should strictly comply with relevant regulations and standards and select appropriate third-party testing agencies for testing and certification.
