A dental grinder is a baby product used in the oral cavity, mainly used to alleviate discomfort during teething. It is a special food used during the process of baby teeth eruption, which can help children's baby teeth erupt and improve their oral chewing function. What are the relevant regulations and standards that need to be met when exporting dental grinders to the United States?

The export of dental grinders to the United States requires compliance with the ASTM F963 standard, which is a mandatory standard for toy testing in the United States.

The ASTM F963-17 standard has general requirements for toy products exported to the US market. As a type of baby product used in the oral cavity, dental grinders must meet the requirements of this standard regarding physical and mechanical properties, flammability, toxicity, and electrical safety.

In order to comply with the ASTM F963 standard, dental grinder manufacturers need to conduct a series of tests, including but not limited to: sharp edge and tip testing, small component testing, tensile testing, pressure testing, torque testing, impact testing, flame resistance testing, toxicity testing, etc. In addition, the manufacturer of dental grinders also needs to label their products with markings that comply with the ASTM F963 standard, and provide corresponding test reports and information to prove that their products comply with this standard.

It should be noted that in addition to the ASTM F963 standard, exporting dental grinders to the United States also requires compliance with other relevant regulations and standards, such as CPSIA (lead, phthalates), etc.

The testing process for exporting dental grinders to the United States generally includes the following steps:

1. Consultation and evaluation: Contact a laboratory with relevant qualifications and experience to understand the regulatory and standard requirements that need to be met when exporting dental grinders to the United States, and evaluate the product to determine which testing projects need to be conducted.

2. Sample preparation: According to the laboratory's requirements, prepare a sufficient number of samples and ensure their representativeness.

3. Testing: Send the samples to the laboratory for testing, including physical and mechanical properties, flammability, toxicity, electrical safety, as well as microbiological and chemical testing as needed.

4. Report preparation: The laboratory shall prepare a report based on the test results, which shall comply with the requirements of relevant regulations and standards, and provide sufficient detailed information and data support.

5. Review and modification: The manufacturer reviews the report to ensure its accuracy and makes necessary modifications.

6. Submit Report: Submit the final report to relevant agencies and customers to demonstrate that the product meets the regulatory and standard requirements of the US market.
