Children's toys sold in Canada need to comply with federal safety standards stipulated in the Canadian Consumer Product Safety Act (CCPSA), including the Canadian Toy Regulations (SOR/2011-17). The following is the process for testing children’s toys according to SOR/2011-17:
1. Select a testing agency: Choose a testing laboratory with ISO 17025 qualifications to conduct toy compliance testing.
2. Provide product information*: Provide detailed information about children's toys to the laboratory, including design, materials, intended use, etc.
3. Fill in the application form: Fill in the relevant application form and clearly indicate the regulations and standards that need to be met.
4. Sample preparation: Prepare samples and send to laboratory for testing.
5. Conduct tests: The laboratory will conduct a series of tests on the samples, including but not limited to mechanical and physical properties, flammability properties, chemical properties, electrical properties and labeling requirements.
6. Obtain the test report: After the test is completed, the laboratory will issue a detailed test report, which will explain whether the product meets all the requirements of SOR/2011-17.
7. Confirmation of draft report: Before the formal report is issued, there will be a draft report for customers to confirm that the information is correct.
8. Formal report: After confirming that the draft report is correct, the laboratory will issue a formal test report and/or certificate.
Test items include but are not limited to packaging requirements, mechanical and physical properties, chemical properties, electrical properties, flammability properties and special toy requirements. Special attention is paid to the fact that warnings on the packaging must be in English and French, and for toys for children aged 3 years or younger, no small parts must fall off, unless the parts are entirely composed of soft textile fiber materials. In addition, other relevant regulations must be complied with, such as SOR/2016-188 (Phthalates Regulation), SOR/2016-193 (Surface Coating Material Regulation), SOR/2018-83 (Lead-Containing Consumer Products Regulation), etc. .
Ensuring the safety of children's toys is the responsibility of enterprises and is also a requirement of regulations. Only toy products that pass compliance testing can be sold in the Canadian market.
