Children's toy guns need to meet the testing requirements of the AS/NZS 8124 standard in the Australian and New Zealand markets. AS/NZS 8124 is a toy safety standard jointly developed by Australia and New Zealand. It is based on the ISO 8124 standard of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and has been appropriately modified and supplemented based on the actual conditions of the two countries. The following are the main testing requirements for children's toy guns under the AS/NZS 8124 standard:
1. Mechanical and physical performance testing
1. Edge and sharp point test: Make sure the toy gun has no sharp edges or sharp points to prevent scratching children.
2. Small parts test: Check whether the small parts on the toy gun are firm and not easy to fall off to prevent suffocation from being swallowed by children.
3. Small ball test: If the toy gun contains small balls or similar objects, a small ball test is required to ensure that the size of the small balls is large enough and difficult for children to swallow.
4. Load-bearing capacity and stability test: Evaluate whether the toy gun is stable when withstanding the weight and pressure of normal use to prevent injuries from collapse or damage.
2. Flammability test
The material of the toy gun should have certain flame retardant properties to prevent it from burning quickly in a fire situation and increase the risk of fire. Testers will conduct ignition tests on toy gun materials to evaluate whether their flame retardant properties meet standard requirements.
3. Chemical performance testing
1. Heavy metal test: Check whether the toy gun materials contain excessive heavy metal elements, such as lead, cadmium, etc. These elements may have long-term effects on children's health.
2. Testing for harmful substances such as phthalates: Ensure that toy guns do not contain harmful chemicals such as phthalates that exceed the limit. These substances may cause damage to children's endocrine system.
4. Electrical safety testing (if applicable)
If the toy gun is electric, its electrical parts must comply with relevant electrical safety standards, such as insulation performance, electric shock resistance, etc.
5. Labels and instructions
Toy guns should be equipped with clear and understandable labels and instructions indicating the following information:
1. Applicable age: Clearly indicate which age group of children the toy gun is suitable for.
2. Precautions for use: Provide detailed guidance on how to safely use, maintain and maintain toy guns.
3. Warning information: If there are any potential dangers or risks, clear warning information should be provided to remind parents and children to pay attention.
