您的孩子的产品 - 以及用于组装产品的所有零件和组件 - 需要符合用于生产的所有材料的铅,邻苯二甲酸酯和可溶性金属含量的新规则,包括涂料和涂料。yabo娱乐vip您的产品还需要符合ASTM F963,“玩具安全标准消费者安全规范”,其中包含确定安全危险的规格和测试方法。ASTM F963指定了与玩具安全和儿童产品安全有关的30多个测试程序。其中一些包括:
- 易燃性测试 - 许多测试方法从简单到复杂
- 毒理学测试 - 铅分析和可溶性重金属
- Toxicology testing - phthalates di(2-ethylhexyl) (DEHP) also known as dioctyl phthalate (DOP), DnOP, DBP, BBP, DiNP and DiDP
- 小物体测试 - 扼流危险
- 无障碍边缘测试 - 尖锐边缘
- Accessible Points testing - sharp points
- 包装薄膜测试 - 孔的厚度和间距
- Folding Mechanisms testing - pinch points
- 绳索,带子测试 - 扼流危险
CPSIA测试
The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act, or CPSIA, requires all children’s products to be tested for total lead, seven additional heavy metals present in the soluble material, and three or six organic compounds by independent testing labs. The law affects manufacturers of toys, bicycles, bed sheets, mattresses, cribs, hair bows, puppets, and virtually anything else a child (under 12 years of age) might come into contact with. The law requires that each accessible part or component of the product be tested. CPSIA is administered by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
Understanding lead limits in the CPSIA
Lead, which has been banned from paint in the U.S. since 1978, is a neurotoxin that can harm the brain, lower IQ and cause behavioral and learning problems in children. Under the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC 16 C.F.R 1303) regulations, the following timeline applies to regulating lead in children’s products:
- 2009年2月10日:主要为12岁及以下儿童设计或预期的产品可能不含超过600ppm的铅。美国含有更多领先优于600 ppm的儿童产品被禁止在美国,在此之后,这些产品的销售可能导致有重大的民事和刑事责任。该章程规定,油漆,涂料或电镀可能不被认为是一种屏障,使得儿童无法进入的产品的铅含量。
- 2009年8月14日:主要为12岁及以下的儿童设计或预期的产品不能包含超过300ppm的铅。
- August 14, 2011:除非委员会确定这一下限没有技术可行,否则设计或主要为12岁儿童设计或预期的产品不能超过100ppm。
测试其他有毒金属
元件lead testing laboratories can also help analyze your materials and products, toys, and children's products for other regulated toxic metals with arsenic testing, mercury testing, cadmium testing, iron testing, and aluminum testing, and others. In addition, Element can test phthalates down to the required regulations needed.
