Material quality is assessed through various standards and regulations. Organizations like the CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) and the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) set guidelines for material safety and efficacy. Common assessments include:
Chemical Testing: To check for harmful substances like lead, BPA, and phthalates. Physical Testing: To ensure products can withstand stress and use without breaking or causing harm. Biocompatibility Testing: For medical devices, to ensure they do not cause adverse reactions.
