American European bending tester

Test Purpose：

To determine if metal wires in children's products bend or break under stress, creating sharp edges or points that pose choking or injury hazards.

Compliance Standards：

• 16 CFR CPS USA: Child Product Safety Certification
• ASTM F963: Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Toy Products
• EN 71: European Toy Safety Directive

Test Methodology：

Product Advantages:

Ensures Child Safety: Directly tests for potential hazards from metal wires, significantly reducing the risk of cuts, punctures, or ingestion of broken pieces.

Dual Market Compliance: Designed to perform tests required by both US (ASTM, 16 CFR) and European (EN 71) standards, simplifying testing for manufacturers targeting both markets.

Objective and Quantifiable Results: Provides measurable outcomes (deformation percentage, breakage force) and a pass/fail assessment for sharp edges based on standardized methods.

Supports Design and Quality Control: Valuable for validating material choices, evaluating product design, and performing quality checks during manufacturing.

Reduces Risk of Recalls: Helps prevent costly and damaging product recalls by ensuring compliance with safety regulations before products are shipped.

Acceptance Criteria：

• No permanent deformation exceeding 15% of original length
• No sharp edges exceeding 0.5mm radius
• Maximum allowable breakage force ≥ 2N
