Introduction

Toys are "children's closest partners", which are extremely important for children's intellectual development and physical and mental health. However, some dangerous toys with potential safety hazards can become "killers" that cause accidental injuries and threaten children's health. In recent years, in order to protect the physical and mental health of children, various countries have successively revised and issued regulations, directives and standards on the control of toys and children's products, and regulated the design, production and sales of children's products with high standards and strict requirements.

Among the EU technical regulations related to toys, the most important is the Toy Safety Directive 2009/48/EC, which stipulates the safety and quality requirements and conformity assessment procedures of toys. All toys entering the EU market must first meet the requirements of the directive. However, the directive only sets out the main goals and basic requirements that toys should meet, and does not involve technical details. The specific technical details are determined through the harmonized standards EN 71 series standards and EN 62115. The EN 71 series of standards specify the physical properties, flammability, labeling and other requirements in detail, while EN 62115 specifies the relevant safety requirements for electrical toys. In addition, toys should also comply with the requirements of other EU regulations, such as REACH regulations, POPs regulations, and RoHS directives.

The "Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act" CPSIA and the "Consumer Safety Specification-Toy Safety" ASTM F963 issued by the American Materials and Testing Association are mandatory requirements that toy products must meet when entering the United States. In addition, art materials must also meet the requirements of LHAMA&TRA.

The "Toy Regulations" SOR/2011-17 in the "Canadian Consumer Products Act" CCPSA stipulates the mechanical and physical properties, flammability properties, chemical properties, electrical properties and marking requirements of toys.

Australia & New Zealand's requirements for toys are mainly reflected in the AS/NZS ISO 8124 series of standards. For electric toys, they should also comply with the relevant safety requirements of AS/NZS 62115. In addition, Australia has issued a series of mandatory standards and ban notices in accordance with the "Australian Consumer Protection Act" and the "Trade Conduct Act", which also include relevant safety requirements for toys.

The Japanese Food Sanitation Law stipulates the requirements for the raw materials and finished products of children's toys. In addition, the ST standards promulgated by the Japan Toy Association are also widely used requirements. The current standard ST 2016 came into effect on April 1, 2016, and specifies the mechanical and physical properties, flammability, chemical properties, and labeling requirements of toys. For details, see ST 2016, a new toy safety standard issued by the Japan Toy Association. Starting from January 2016, the 2014 version of China's mandatory toy safety standards GB 6675 (GB 6675.1, GB 6675.2, GB 6675.3, GB 6675.4, GB 6675.11, GB 6675.12, GB 6675.13, GB 6675.14) has been implemented. The GB 6675 series of standards stipulate the basic safety requirements of toys such as mechanical and physical properties, flammability, chemical properties, electrical properties, hygiene requirements, radiation performance and labeling requirements, as well as their implementation and supervision, and legal responsibilities. Product requirements. In addition, GB 19865 specifies the relevant safety requirements for electrical toys.
