ASTM F963-92 Mechanical Safety Testing: Laboratory Testing Services

Standard-Related Information

The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard F963-92 is a widely recognized standard for mechanical safety testing of toys and other products intended for children. The standard provides guidelines for the design, testing, and certification of products to ensure they meet minimum safety requirements.

ISO 8124-1:2016, EN 71:2005A1:2010, TSE 1017:2014, and other international standards governing toy safety testing are also relevant. These standards focus on ensuring that toys do not pose a risk of injury or harm to children.

Standard Requirements and Needs

ASTM F963-92 Mechanical Safety Testing is required by law in many countries to ensure the safety of childrens products. The standard applies to a wide range of products, including:

  • Toys

  • Dolls

  • Puzzles

  • Games

  • Outdoor toys

  • Ride-on vehicles
