Toys & Games

As a Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) certified 3rd-party testing laboratory, we test all children’s toys & games according to Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) regulations to ensure your product is in compliance with all current safety requirements. It is hard knowing how to be compliant with all the regulations out there, which is why our service is top notch. Unlike other labs, we know the importance of working closely with each of our customers to give them the full rundown of what testing they need. Whether it’s general CPSC toy testing, mechanical hazard testing, chemical or flammability testing, or any other certified test, we take the time to ensure everything we do is accurate.

At AM Testing Inc., we understand that the key to having a compliant product is to go through certified CPSC toy testing procedures which are simulated like a child at play. In our testing lab, we then determine if there are any hazards that present themselves.

For general knowledge

Toys and games are considered to be any product designed or manufactured to have play value and to be used by children under the age of 14. Products considered to be toys and games are board games, cars, stuffed animals, water guns, kites, pool toys, wooden blocks, stackable, and any other children’s toy or game.

The CPSC requires all children’s toy and game products to be tested to meet general safety requirements for mechanical hazards, chemical properties, and flammability. Our CPSC toy testing experts ensure the highest quality and accuracy when testing toys and games.

At AM Testing, we have all the solutions you need to ensure your product is safe and on the shelves, so you can focus on your business.

Roger and his team at AM Testing & Services have been fantastic in navigating the confusing test requirements for our kid’s product line and providing exceptional, personalized service. Since they are a domestic lab, we are able to pick up the phone and speak to someone the same day to receive answers to the various questions that arise pertaining to testing. We have also found their pricing to be more than competitive with pricing from overseas’ labs. Roger makes an effort to anticipate additional or new testing that may be required down the road with changes in the law. I truly feel that he is a partner with the required testing arm of our business. Needless to say, we highly recommend AM Testing & Services.

In 2011, I brought my first shipment of Bubi bottles to the USA and even though we used the best materials to be BPA-free, AM testing was highly recommended by a friend. They have tested the bottle for heavy metals, BPA, and claims of service like a freezer, dishwasher and microwavable. In addition to their testing abilities and high regard in the industry, they are also very knowledgeable about what is required in the industry. I am happy we were introduced.

In MEL Science, we develop innovative chemistry sets for kids delivered monthly as a subscription service. Certification of such product is more difficult because every month we design and manufacture new chemistry sets. AM Testing & Services did a great job helping us to design quality products as well as with testing and certification of our chemistry sets in a timely manner.

AM Testing has always been extremely helpful with all of our testing needs. They are fast to respond and always very knowledgeable when it comes to our industry regulations. I highly recommend them if you are looking for personal and attentive service.
