Small Parts Test Fixture (SPTF)

This 3D printed Small Parts Test Fixture (SPTF) is an essential tool for toy manufacturers, designers, and safety testers. Designed to mimic the size of a fully expanded toddler's throat, the SPTF helps determine if a toy or product poses a choking hazard.  Complies to 16 C.F.R. § 1501.4.

Key Features:

• Standard Size: The interior cavity measures 1.25 inches in diameter, with an adjustable depth ranging from 1 inch to 2.25 inches. This range allows for comprehensive testing of various product sizes and shapes.   
• Easy to Use: Simply insert the item to be tested into the SPTF cavity. If the item fits entirely within the specified depth, it may present a choking hazard and require design modifications. If the item does not fit, it is generally considered safe for children.
• Essential Safety Tool: The SPTF is a crucial component in any toy safety testing protocol, helping to protect children from potential choking hazards.

How It Works:

The SPTF is based on the principle that if an object can fit inside the simulated throat cavity, it could potentially be swallowed and cause choking. By using this fixture, manufacturers can proactively identify and address potential hazards before products reach the market.   

Ideal For:

• Toy Manufacturers
• Product Designers
• Safety Testing Laboratories
• Parents and Caregivers
