USA - ASTM F3343-19 Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Infant Bathers

A new ASTM International standard ASTM F3343-19 Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Infant Bathers aims to enhance the safety of infant bathers. The consumer safety specification establishes performance requirements, test methods, and labeling requirements to promote safe use of the popular products, which allow parents and caregivers to bathe newborns and infants in a reclined position.

Specifically, the standard covers sharp edges, small parts, labeling, restraint systems, structural integrity, stability, and more.  

Juvenile product manufacturers and consumers will be the primary users of the new standard.
