TIA Initiatives

Toy safety is the industry’s highest priority, and TIA supports this commitment with programs and services. We lead the ongoing review process for ASTM F963, the comprehensive U.S. toy safety standard, and we present educational seminars on toy safety standards and related regulatory developments.  We also initiate public education to guide consumers and caregivers on safe play.
