Testing small parts for their ability to fit through a standard choking hazard test cylinder

The Importance of Testing Small Parts for Choking Hazard Compliance

As a manufacturer of small parts, ensuring that your products meet safety standards is crucial to avoid recalls and maintain customer trust. One essential aspect of product testing is evaluating the ability of small components to fit through a standard choking hazard test cylinder. This laboratory service, offered by Eurolab, enables businesses to assess their products compliance with regulatory requirements and minimize risks associated with unintentional child ingestion.

What is a Choking Hazard Test Cylinder?

A choking hazard test cylinder is a standardized tool used to determine whether small parts can pass through a tube of a specific diameter. The test simulates the scenario where a child swallows an object, which then passes through their airway. By subjecting your product to this test, you can identify potential hazards and make necessary design changes to prevent choking incidents.
