Electric remote control cars need to be tested in accordance with the AS/NZS 8124 standard in Australia and New Zealand. The AS/NZS 8124 standard is a series of standards on toy safety that applies to all toys used by children under 14 years old. For electric remote control cars, in addition to complying with the AS/NZS 8124 standard, they also need to comply with the relevant safety requirements of AS/NZS 62115.
The following are the main tests that need to be conducted on electric remote control cars:
1. Mechanical and physical performance tests:
- Small parts test: Ensure that children cannot swallow or inhale small parts.
- Sharp edge test: Test whether the edges of the toy are sharp to avoid scratches or punctures.
- Temperature test: Evaluate the temperature changes of the toy during use to prevent overheating or overcooling.
- Projectile test: If the electric remote control car contains projectiles, its kinetic energy needs to be tested to ensure that it will not cause harm to children.
- Ride-on toy test: If the electric remote control car is a ride-on toy, its small angle and other parameters need to be tested to ensure the safety of children when using it.
2. Flammability test:
- Evaluate the combustion performance of the electric remote control car to ensure that it is non-flammable, thereby reducing the risk of fire.
3. Chemical performance test:
- Heavy metal content test: Check the content of heavy metal elements such as lead, mercury, cadmium, etc. in the electric remote control car to ensure that it is within the safe range.
- Other harmful chemical substances test: Check other harmful chemicals that may be contained in the electric remote control car, such as phthalates, etc., and ensure that their release is within the safe range.
4. Electrical safety test:
- Insulation performance test: Ensure that the electrical part of the electric remote control car has good insulation performance to prevent electric shock.
- Electric shock resistance test: Evaluate whether the electric remote control car can prevent electric shock during use.
5. Labels and instructions:
- Electric remote control cars should be equipped with clear labels and instructions, providing applicable age, usage precautions and warning information.
In order to ensure that the electric remote control car meets the requirements of the AS/NZS 8124 standard, it is recommended to contact a professional testing agency or certification agency for consultation and testing. These institutions usually have advanced testing equipment and professional technicians and can provide comprehensive testing services.
