When metal toys are exported to Canada, they need to follow Canada's toy safety standards, especially SOR/2011-17 "Toys Regulations". According to this standard, the testing items for metal toys mainly include:
1. Physical and mechanical properties: Test whether the structure and components of the toy are stable, there are no small parts that can easily fall off, and whether the edges and corners are rounded to prevent scratches or punctures to infants and young children. Stability testing is also included to ensure the toy will not tip or tip over during use.
2. Flammability: To ensure that toys are not flammable under normal use conditions and prevent fire and other injuries, this usually involves testing the flammability of toy materials.
3. Chemical properties: Test all materials and coatings used in the toy manufacturing process to see if they contain chemicals harmful to the human body, such as heavy metals, phthalates, etc., to ensure that the toys will not cause chemical hazards to children.
4. Electrical injury: If a metal toy contains electrical parts, its electrical safety performance will be tested to ensure that it will not cause injuries such as electric shock.
5. Small parts and sharp edges test: Inspect toys for the presence of small parts and sharp edges that could prevent children from swallowing or causing injury.
6. Packaging requirements: If the product is packaged in soft film plastic bags, it must meet specific thickness and warning label requirements to avoid the risk of suffocation for children.
7. Specific toy requirements: For example, fasteners used to connect parts, clothing or accessories on dolls or soft toys should not expose sharp points or edges when used in reasonably foreseeable situations.
8. Surface coating materials: According to the requirements of SOR/2016-193 regulations, the total lead content of surface coating materials for children's toys shall not exceed 90 mg/kg, and the total mercury content shall not exceed 10 mg/kg.
9. Phthalates: According to SOR/2016-188 regulations, polyvinyl chloride in toys or child care articles must not contain specific phthalates in concentrations exceeding 1000 mg/kg.
10. Lead-containing consumer products regulations: According to SOR/2018-83 regulations, the lead content in children's toys shall not exceed 90mg/kg.
These testing projects ensure that metal toys comply with Canadian safety standards during the design, production and sales process to protect the health and safety of children.
