The ASTM F963 US toy testing standard is for North American countries. ASTM F963 is developed according to the mandatory requirements of US federal regulations. Generally, the content of the standard fully includes the relevant technical requirements of CPSC 16 CFR. If manufacturers can ensure that their products meet the requirements of ASTM F963, they basically meet the relevant technical requirements of CPSC 16 CFR. However, to ensure that products comply with the requirements of CPSC 16 CFR, toy manufacturers should not only ensure that their products meet the requirements of ASTM F963 but also pay timely attention to the requirements and changes of CPSC 16 CFR to ensure that their products comply with US laws.
