What you'll learn

Join us for the upcoming webinar where we offer a comprehensive overview of the significant revisions introduced in the latest iteration of the ASTM F963-23 Toy Safety Standard. This revised standard, approved on January 18, 2024, encompasses updates related to heavy elements in toy substrates, phthalates, acoustics, batteries, expanding materials, labeling requirements, projectiles, and bow and arrow testing, and will be replacing ASTM F963-17. With the standard expected to become mandatory in mid-April 2024, it is imperative for industry professionals to gain a thorough understanding of the changes and their implications.
