ASTM considers revisions to its toy safety standard, ASTM F963


12 July 2013

ASTM Subcommittee F15.22 issued a work item to revise its toy safety standard, ASTM F963, regarding microbiological cleanliness.

The work item seeks to:

  • more clearly specify which products are subject to microbiological cleanliness testing;
  • provide additional test protocol options for microbiological cleanliness testing (e.g., the CTFA Microbiology Guidelines and similar);
  • extend cleanliness testing to feather products; and
  • more.

Compliance & Risks is a member of the ASTM Subcommittee and is participating in these developments.
