China is a big exporter, and the number of children’s goods exports is increasing. So according to the market requirements, the standards for exporting children’s goods to different countries are different.
At the same time, for the quality and safety control of toy products, different standards and limit requirements have been formulated in various countries or regions around the world. The laboratory is required to provide testing services that meet the requirements of customers’ market.
For example, export to the United States: ASTM F963 is the testing standard for toys in the United States under the auspices of the National Bureau of standards of the Ministry of Commerce. At present, the latest version is ASTM f963-17, and has become a mandatory standard.
Although only DEHP is required in ASTM F963, phthalate is also tested as an enterprise. Because more than one phthalate is regulated in CPSIA and ca65, or CSPA.
Each kind of toys needs to be tested by Hengxiang to analyze the specific situation, so that we can make the most economical and comprehensive test report.
Based on the scientific nature of the above safety assessment, the EU often directly updates technical barriers or revises reach and other regulations to improve the export risk of children’s products in China. This year, the European Union has successively released a number of safety assessment reports on high-risk factors, such as the safety risk assessment report on bisphenol A in children’s toys at the beginning of this year, which indicated the impact of this substance on children’s endocrine regulation activities. The European Commission immediately revised the children’s toys directive to set the migration limit of bisphenol A at 0.1 mg / L, which was only voluntarily implemented by the European toy industry, It is not mandatory; On August 4, the European Commission’s Center for health and environmental risk assessment (Scher) released a report that hexavalent chromium has potential carcinogenicity, and suggested that the migration limit of hexavalent chromium in the toy safety directive should be greatly increased.
