I was years ago brainstorming ways to improve physics education content, and explored linking to commercial/professional online material. So for instance, the glossy specs for a sump pump might mention a flow rate, and thus help develop a feel for reasonable values of volume transport, and for associated power etc. And also for pumps, and building moisture control. And provide a grounding "this stuff is real, used, useful, and applies to things in my life". And encourage curiosity and browsing.
Toy safety standards seemed an obvious candidate. Especially for younger kids and girls. And indeed, lots of fun bits turned up in such standards. Infant grip torque, pinching force, etc, etc. In paywalled "google temporarily turns up an unauthorized leak" "there's no way to link to this stuff" standards. Punted.
