Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a very common plastic used in a wide range of common consumer products from children’s toys and care items to building and construction materials. In the US, ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) and CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) have designed methods for testing children’s toys and childcare articles for compliance with the restriction of use for eight designated phthalates.
