Obtaining information on current child injury trends and their associated issues is an important factor in developing products that meet or surpass acceptable toy safety boundaries. Understanding these boundaries helps determine safe product design characteristics that reduce the risk of product-related injury. Inchcape Testing Services developed a Small Parts Aspiration, Ingestion, and Choking Hazards Research Project, independent of an ongoing consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) project. The project's purpose was to determine, independent of CPSC, whether a more stringent small parts regulatory standard was necessary and, if so, to ensure that the standard was determined objectively. This article reports on the project's findings relating to critical characteristics (size, shape, and consistency) relative to the victim's age, of objects responsible for child choking injuries and fatalities.
获取当前儿童伤害趋势及其相关问题的信息，是开发符合或超越可接受玩具安全界限的产品的一个重要因素。了解这些界限有助于确定安全的产品设计特征，从而降低与产品相关的伤害风险。英之杰测试服务公司开展了一个小零件吸入、摄入和窒息危险研究项目，该项目独立于美国消费品安全委员会（CPSC）正在进行的一个项目。该项目的目的是在独立于消费品安全委员会的情况下，确定是否需要一个更严格的小零件监管标准，如果需要，则确保该标准是客观确定的。本文报告了该项目关于导致儿童窒息受伤和死亡的物体相对于受害者年龄的关键特征（尺寸、形状和稠度）的研究结果。
