原文如下：
New Edition of ASTM F963 to Become Effective on August 14, 2009; Toy Chests Excluded
A new edition of the Consumer Safety Specification for Toy Safety, ASTM F963-2008, was published on February 17, 2009, by ASTM International. The standard includes guidelines and test methods to protect children from a wide range of potential hazards, including lead exposure, choking, and sharp edges. Changes included in the new edition include new safety guidelines for magnetic components in toys and a number of other potential hazards.
Under the terms of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA), F963 became a federally mandated safety specification on February 10, 2009. Under the law, the 2007 edition of the standard remained mandatory until the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) agrees that a revision to the standard improves safety.
After careful consideration, the CPSC determined that the proposed revisions to F 963-07e1 regarding toy chests did not improve the safety of the consumer product and – via an included cross-reference – would have changed the requirements from mandatory consumer product safety standards that are fully enforceable under the law into voluntary industry standards.
As a result, ASTM International was notified that, with the exception of the cited revisions to the requirements for toy chests found in Sections 1.4, 4.27, and 8.14, the ’08 edition of the standard shall become effective on August 14, 2009; the requirements for toy chests found in the ’07 edition will remain mandatory.
