Differences Between F2923 and F2999

Since 2026, cross-border e-commerce platforms such as Amazon, TEMU, and AliExpress have comprehensively upgraded their compliance reviews for adult jewelry on their US sites. To list adult jewelry categories, sellers are required to submit a testing report as proof of compliance.

astm f2999 and astm f2923 are the two core safety standards in the United States for jewelry targeted at different demographics. The two standards have clear distinctions in their applicable scenarios and limit requirements. Understanding these distinctions is a mandatory compliance requirement for cross-border sellers entering the US jewelry market.
