Japan's ST2016 testing standard involves safety requirements for children's toys, including testing of mechanical and physical properties, flammability properties, chemical properties, etc. As a type of children's toy, shark toys are usually required to undergo Japanese ST2016 testing if exported to the Japanese market to ensure that they comply with Japanese toy safety standards.



Shark toys Japan ST2016 testing items:

1. Mechanical and physical performance testing: Evaluate whether the edges, tips, small parts, etc. of the toy meet safety requirements, and whether the toy's materials, coatings, etc. are harmful to children.

2. Flammability test: Evaluate whether the flammability performance of toys meets standard requirements, especially for some toys worn on the head and plush stuffed toys.

3. Chemical performance test: Detect whether the content of harmful substances in toys, such as heavy metals, phthalates and other irritating substances, exceeds the standard.

4. Detection of irritating substances: Detect irritating substances in children's model toys, such as heavy metals, phthalates, etc.

5. Conductivity testing: Test the content and conductivity of conductive materials in children's toys to ensure that the conductivity of electronic components will not cause harm to children.

6. Flammability testing: Test the flammability of children's toys to ensure that they will not burn when exposed to open flames or high temperatures, thus ensuring the safety of children.



Shark toys Japan ST2016 testing process:

1. Submit samples: Submit the shark toy samples that need to be tested to the testing agency.

2. Confirm testing standards and regulations: Confirm with the testing agency the items that need to be tested, including testing of mechanical and physical properties, flammability properties, chemical properties, etc., and ensure compliance with relevant Japanese regulations and standards.

3. Testing: The testing agency will conduct various performance tests on shark toys, including mechanical and physical properties, flammability properties, chemical properties, etc. During the testing process, the edges, tips, small parts, etc. of the toy will be evaluated to detect whether there are sharp edges and dangerous tips, and whether it contains balls after abuse tests (pressure, tension, torsion, collision, drop, etc. tests) or small parts to avoid choking injuries caused by swallowing by children. At the same time, it is also necessary to detect harmful substances in toys, such as whether the content of heavy metals, phthalates and other irritating substances exceeds the standard.

4. Obtain the test report: After the test is completed, the testing agency will issue a test report, including the results and conclusions of each test.

5. Apply for the ST mark: If the test results meet the requirements of the Japanese ST2016 standard, you can apply for the ST mark from the testing agency. When applying, you need to fill in the relevant forms and pay the application fee.

6. Labeling: After obtaining the ST mark, the ST mark needs to be affixed to the shark toy and packaging to indicate that the toy complies with Japanese safety standards.
