Caps Intended for Use With Toy Guns Toy Guns Not/ Intended for Use With Caps
From 9 December 2013, from the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR), the existing regulation of CPSIA is replaced by ASTM F963 on the sound testing requirement on the toys guns

caps
intended for use with toys guns in 16 CFR 1500.18(a)(5), 1500.47, and 1500.86(a)(6) were originally
promulgated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).. In September 1973, the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA) and the statute’s implementing regulations were transferred from the FDA to the CPSC.

16 CFR 1500.18(a)(5).
‘if such caps when so used or such toy guns produce impulse-type sound at a peak pressure level at or above 138 decibels. . . .’

16 CFR 1500.86(a)(6)
exempts toy caps that produce peak sound levels of 138 to 158 decibels if: The packaging material contains a warning regarding proper use, the manufacturer notifies CPSC, and the manufacturer participates in a program to develop toy caps that produce peak pressure levels below 138 decibels
(no manufacturers participating in this program, so revoking)

16 CFR 1500.47, provides the test method for determining the sound pressure level produced by toy caps and toy guns.
