When wooden toys are sold in the Australian market, they need to be certified to AS/NZS 8124. This certification focuses on the mechanical and physical properties, flammability, migration of specific elements, etc. of toys to ensure that the toys are safe for children. The following are the main test items for the Australian AS/NZS 8124 certification of wooden toys:
1. Mechanical and physical performance test
Small parts test: Ensure that small parts on the toys are not easy to fall off to prevent children from swallowing them by mistake.
Small ball test: For parts of toys that may form small balls, small ball tests are required to prevent small balls from being swallowed by children by mistake.
Sharp edge and point test: Check whether the edges and corners of the toy are too sharp to avoid harm to children.
Strength and durability test: Test the strength and durability of the toy to ensure that it will not break under normal use and foreseeable abuse.
Tensile test: For ropes, straps and other parts on the toy, tensile tests are required to prevent children from being injured by pulling.
2. Flammability test
Combustion performance test: Test the flammability of toys to ensure that they will not burn quickly or produce toxic smoke when exposed to fire.
3. Migration test of specific elements
Soluble heavy metal test: Test the content of soluble heavy metals (such as lead, arsenic, antimony, barium, cadmium, chromium, mercury, selenium, etc.) that may be present in toy materials to ensure that they do not exceed the specified limits.
4. Other requirements
Labels and instructions: Check whether the labels and instructions on the toys are clear and accurate and contain necessary safety warnings and instructions for use.
Packaging materials: Test the safety of toy packaging materials to ensure that they do not contain chemicals that are harmful to children.
In summary, when wooden toys are certified to AS/NZS 8124 in Australia, they need to pay attention to multiple aspects of safety requirements. Manufacturers or importers should ensure that their products meet these requirements and conduct tests and evaluations when necessary to ensure the safety and compliance of toys. At the same time, since Australia's toy safety standards may be continuously updated and improved, manufacturers or importers also need to pay close attention to changes in relevant regulations.
