China's GB6675 standard is a mandatory national standard for toy safety, applicable to all toys designed or intended for children under 14 years old. In view of the particularity of wooden toys, the testing process needs to focus on its material characteristics and relevant safety requirements. The following is a detailed testing process and key points:
I. Testing standard basis
Wooden toy testing is mainly based on four parts: GB6675.1-2014 (basic specifications), GB6675.2-2014 (mechanical and physical properties), GB6675.3-2014 (combustion performance), and GB6675.4-2014 (migration of specific elements).
II. Core testing items
1. Physical and mechanical performance test
- Drop test: simulate the integrity of toys after falling from different heights.
- Tension and pressure test: evaluate whether the parts are easy to fall off or break, and prevent small parts from causing suffocation risks.
- Edge and tip inspection: ensure that there are no sharp edges or protruding parts.
2. Combustion performance test
- Evaluate the flammability of wood and surface coatings to ensure that the materials are not easy to burn quickly.
3. Chemical safety test
- Heavy metal migration: Detect the content of 8 heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, and mercury.
- Formaldehyde and azo test: For the coating or adhesive of wooden toys, ensure that they do not contain harmful chemicals.
- Phthalates (6P): New limit requirements (total content ≤ 0.1%).
4. Migration of specific elements
- Detect the migration of elements such as antimony, arsenic, and barium in accessible materials.
III. Testing process steps
1. Select a qualified organization
- It is necessary to select a third-party testing organization with CNAS (China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment) qualifications, such as Shenzhen Dezewei.
2. Submit application and materials
- Required materials:
- Product manual and design drawings.
- List of raw materials (such as wood species, coating ingredients).
- Fill in the "Testing Application Form" and sign the contract.
3. Sample inspection
- Provide 2-3 complete samples (including packaging) to ensure consistency with the actual sales products.
4. Laboratory testing
- Cycle: Usually 5-7 working days, complex projects may be extended.
- Key test items:
- Small parts, mechanical strength, combustion performance, chemical migration, etc.
5. Report issuance and rectification
- Qualified: Issue "Test Certificate", the validity period is dynamically adjusted according to product changes or regulatory updates.
- Unqualified: Need to rectify according to laboratory feedback (such as adjusting materials or processes), and re-send samples for re-testing.
IV. Notes
1. Cost reference:
- The basic test fee is about 500-1000 yuan, which fluctuates according to the number of test items.
2. Special requirements:
- If the wooden toy contains electronic components (such as sound-generating devices), additional electrical safety tests are required.
3. Regulatory updates:
- Pay regular attention to the revision of GB6675 standards (such as the new plasticizer restrictions in the 2014 version) to ensure compliance.
Through the above process, companies can ensure that wooden toys meet national mandatory safety standards and ensure the safety of children.
