Background

The US toy regulation was signed into law on May 13, 2009. The Commission accepted ASTM F963–08 (except for the removal of section 4.27 of ASTM F963–07, which covers toy chests). The requirements of ASTM F963–08 became effective on August 16, 2009, except for section 4.27 (toy chests) of ASTM F963–07, which was already in effect. The current version of the standard (ASTM F963-16) became a mandatory requirement on April 30, 2017.
