◉ Introduction of American Toy Safety Standard ASTMF963
ASTMF963 toy safety standard is a mandatory certification standard in the United States. In the past few years, the global toy industry has undergone rapid development and great changes. Countries and regions around the world, led by the European Union and the United States, have begun to revise toy-related laws and standards. Among them, the new EU Toy EN71 Directive 2009/48/EC has officially entered into force, and relevant laws and standards are also changing. Beginning on June 10, 2013, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) will require toy manufacturers to obtain third-party certification to demonstrate that their products meet ASTMF963-11-Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Toy Safety.
