Date:2024-07-17 11:21:10 Classification :【question】 Visits:
As a type of children's toy, model cars need to comply with the testing requirements of SOR/2011-17 (the Canadian Toy Regulations) when sold in Canada. The following are the main test requirements for testing model vehicles according to SOR/2011-17:

1. Physical and mechanical properties

1. Stability of structure and components: Test whether the structure and components of the model car are stable to ensure that they will not easily fall off or form small parts during normal use to prevent infants and young children from accidentally eating it.

2. Edge and corner treatment: The edges and corners of the model car should be rounded to prevent scratches or punctures to infants and young children.

3. Safety of the folding mechanism (if applicable): If the model car contains folding mechanisms, it should be ensured that these mechanisms will not suddenly collapse during use, thereby pinching children's hands and feet.

2. Flammability

Test the flammability properties of model car surface materials to ensure that they are non-flammable under normal use conditions to prevent fire and other injuries.

3. Chemical properties

1. Hazardous substance limits: Test whether all materials and coatings used in the manufacturing process of model cars contain chemicals harmful to the human body, such as heavy metals (such as lead, mercury, etc.), phthalates, etc. The content of these harmful substances must be below the limits specified in SOR/2011-17 to ensure that the toys will not cause harm to children's health.

2. Surface coating material: Pay special attention to the material of the surface coating of the model car to ensure that it meets the lead content requirements in SOR/2016-193 (Surface Coating Material Regulations).

4. Electrical safety (if applicable)

If the model car contains electrical parts (such as battery drive, remote control, etc.), its electrical safety performance needs to be tested to ensure that it will not cause harm such as electric shock.


5. Packaging and labeling

1. Packaging requirements: If the model car is packaged in a soft film plastic bag, and the opening circumference is less than 35.3 cm (14 inches), the thickness of the plastic bag should be greater than 0.019 mm, and warning text should be clearly indicated to avoid children Risk of suffocation.

2. Labels and instructions: Model cars should be equipped with clear and accurate labels and instructions, including manufacturer information, applicable age range, warning signs, etc. This information needs to be bilingual in English and French.

6. Other specific requirements

Depending on the specific type and purpose of the model vehicle, other specific safety requirements may also need to be met. For example, if a model car has a sound-making function, the noise level it produces needs to be tested to avoid causing hearing damage to infants and young children.

7. Testing process

1. Select a certification agency: First, you need to select a certification agency that is officially recognized by Canada and has relevant qualifications for testing.

2. Prepare samples and information: Prepare model car samples to be tested, and organize relevant technical information about the product, such as product instructions, material lists, design drawings, etc.

3. Submit application and send samples: Submit a testing application to the selected certification agency, and send the prepared samples and relevant materials to the certification agency.

4. Testing and evaluation: The certification agency will conduct detailed testing and evaluation of the model car, including the above-mentioned physical and mechanical properties, flammability properties, chemical properties and other test items.

5. Issuing a test report and certificate: If the model car passes all test items, the certification agency will issue a test report and certificate that comply with the SOR/2011-17 standard.
