For expansion gates and expandable enclosures, ASTM F1004-22 provides safety performance standards, test procedures, labeling requirements, and instructional material specifications. This standard aims to reduce potential dangers and hazards for young children (aged six months to 24 months) as a result of the expected misuse and abuse of these goods as well as their regular use.

Expandable enclosures and expansion gates, collectively referred to as "gates" and "enclosures" in the standard, are intended for household usage and should not be confused with gates or enclosures made for commercial, institutional, agricultural, pet, or other specialized uses. The standard stipulates that any gate or enclosure created after the approval date of this standard must comply with all the requirements listed in the specification in order to demonstrate conformity. It also defines the scope and types of products covered.
