I work in manufacturing and run into this constantly. It’s a fuckin joke honestly. These standards should be free to access if they want people to follow them.
Nothing digital is really behing a paywall if you know where to look.
ISO standards are pretty hard to find
But then how would we know you really mean to respect those standards?
I suck at recognizing sarcasm, is your reply meant sarcastically?
Especially as some laws in some countries refer to such standards. This should be illegal, or at least the country should see to get a licence for it's citizens.
Paying for those just happened to become the international standard... somehow...
Well i assume they needed to fund the organization somehow, that pdf is probably full of info on how to achieve that standard. And since it's PDF, goodluck paywalling ctrl + c > ctrl + v.
Bunch of asses, that's why!
I did the research, and I concur.
ISO3533
Sex toys — Design and safety
requirements for products in direct
contact with genitalia, the anus, or
both
5.2.1.1
5.2.1.1 Anal use products
A sex toy shall have sufficient mechanisms and design features to prevent them from being inserted further than intended to prevent retention in the anus or rectum during its intended use. The effectiveness of these design features shall be tested and documented. The flexibility of the product and the base-to-neck ratio should be considered.
EXAMPLE 1 Anal plugs, anal beads, anal dildos.
Medium and large products shall have design features making it possible for medical professionals to extract if retained, by using tools and instruments commonly used for medical procedures. See Table B.2.
EXAMPLE 2 Loops, strings, or accessible edges.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3533
The discussion resulted in 2021 in a first release of the norm, as ISO 3533:2021.
What the fuck, it took till 2021 for the first standard to be made?!
It took until 2021 but we can finally say, "we live in a society."
Because we have standards.
can finally say, “we live in a society.”
bottom standards
But what if they're from wish.com and full of harmful chemicals?
In a lot of the world they're regulated as novelty items, so free from the regulation that stops harmful chemicals being in things like kitchen utensils and childrens' toys, despite many of the same potential risks being present. You don't need to use a corner-cutting regulation-ignoring retailer like Wish to get your fix of toxic plasticisers etc..
Yup. Not only are the materials entirely unregulated… So are the labels. A company can stick a “Made with 100% pure medical-grade silicone” on the box, even if they know it’s not true.
That’s why there are independent toy reviewers. The companies send a few toys to the reviewer, who does destructive testing on them. IIRC, most testers require at least three of the same toy for a full test. They’ll do things like light the toy on fire, (the presence/color of smoke and if/how it melts tells the tester if it’s pure silicone, or if there are harmful additives), attempt to break/rip/crush it (to confirm tensile/compressive strength is adequate), etc… And yes, they’ll also use the toy to review how well it works.
oh my
The reason why this is sensible can be found, for example, in the works of Oscar Wilde. In "Teleny" one can find the following description.
Be warned: NSFL (Pornograpic and gory):
Oscar Wilde, Teleny
Another person had taken the bottle, and had rubbed it over with the grease of a páté de foie gras, then he began to press it in. At first it did not seem to be able to enter; but the Spahi, stretching the edges with his fingers, and the operator turning and manipulating the bottle and pressing it slowly and steadily, it at last began to slide in.
"Aie, aie!" said the Spahi, biting his lips; "it is a tight fit, but it's in at last."
"Am I hurting you?"
"It did pain a little, but now it's all over," and he began to groan with pleasure.
All the wrinkles and swellings had disappeared, and the flesh of the edges was now clasping the bottle tightly.
The Spahi's face expressed a mixture of acute pain and intense lechery; all the nerves of his body seemed stretched and quivering, as if under the action of a strong battery; his eyes were half closed, and the pupils had almost disappeared, his clenched teeth were gnashed, as the bottle was, every now and then, thrust a little further in. His phallus, which had been limp and lifeless when he had felt nothing but pain, was again acquiring its full proportions; then all the veins in it began to swell, the nerves to stiffen themselves to their utmost.
"Do you want to be kissed?" asked someone, seeing how the rod was shaking.
"Thanks," said he, "I feel enough as it is."
"What is it like?"
"A sharp and yet an agreeable irritation from my bum up to my brain."
"In fact his whole body was convulsed, as the bottle went slowly in and out, ripping and almost quartering him. All at once the penis was mightily shaken, then it became turgidly rigid, the tiny lips opened them- selves, a sparkling drop of colourless liquid appeared on their edges. "Quicker further in-let me feel-let me feel!"
'Thereupon he began to cry, to laugh hysterically; then to neigh like a stallion at the sight of a mare. The phallus squirted out a few drops of thick, white, viscid sperm.
"Thrust it in-thrust it in!" he groaned, with a dying voice. The hand of the manipulator was convulsed. He gave the bottle a strong shake.
We were all breathless with excitement, seeing the intense pleasure the Spahi was feeling, when all at once, amidst the perfect silence that followed each of the soldier's groans, a slight shivering sound was heard, which was at once succeeded by a loud scream of pain and terror from the prostrate man, of horror from the other. The bottle had broken; the handle and part of it came out, cutting all the edges that pressed against it, the other part remained engulfed within the anus.
One Man, One Jar.
If you're brave enough 😅
A champagne bottle will be strong enough.
Oscar Wilde indeed!
This is fantastic! I didn't know this standard existed.
New life goal is somehow getting this added to a production print.
The testings fine, it’s the hours that are a real pain in the ass
Sorry which image are you trying to push to main?
