Children's jump ropes are tested according to the testing process and key points of Canada's Toys Regulations (SOR/2011-17), compiled from the latest regulations and testing practices:
I. Applicability Verification
1. Product Classification
- Children's jump ropes are classified as "sports and outdoor toys" and are specifically regulated under SOR/2011-17, suitable for children aged 14 and under.
2. Core Regulations Extension
- They must also comply with supplementary regulations such as the Consumer Products Containing Lead Regulations (SOR/2018-83) and the Phthalates Regulations (SOR/2016-188).
II. Pre-Testing Preparation
1. Sample Disassembly and Sample Delivery
- Disassembly Requirements: Disassemble the jump rope into homogeneous materials (e.g., plastic handle, rubber grip, metal connector). Different materials must be tested separately.
- Sample Quantity: Provide 3-5 complete jump ropes and spare parts (e.g., handle clips).
- Documents to be submitted: Product instructions, bill of materials (indicating ingredients), and Supply Chain Chemical Declaration Form (MSDS).
2. Selecting a Testing Agency
- Prefer ISO 17025-accredited laboratories (such as Dezewei Testing) to ensure the reports are recognized by Canadian authorities and Amazon.
III. Testing Items and Requirements
1. Physical Safety Testing
- Structural Stability: Test the handle connections for breakage or detachment by simulating the swinging and stretching of a jump rope (must withstand a tensile force of ≥ 50N).
- Edge Finishing: Check that the handle edges are smooth and free of cuts (using a sharp edge tester).
- Small Parts Choking Prevention: Removable parts (such as handle decorations) must not be fully inserted into a 31.7mm diameter small parts measuring cylinder.
2. Chemical Safety Testing
- Heavy Metal Limits:
- Surface coating lead ≤ 90mg/kg, mercury ≤ 10mg/kg (per SOR/2016-193).
- Lead in the metal part of the handle ≤ 90 mg/kg (applicable to SOR/2018-83).
- Phthalates:
- DEHP/DBP/BBP ≤ 1000 mg/kg (plastic parts).
- DINP/DIDP/DNOP ≤ 1000 mg/kg (potentially ingestible parts).
3. Packaging and Labeling
- Flexible Film Packaging: If using a film bag with an opening circumference less than 35.3 cm, the bag must be ≥ 0.019 mm thick and carry a suffocation warning in both English and French.
- Bilingual Labeling: Age warnings (e.g., "Under 3 years old require adult supervision") must be in both English and French.
IV. Testing Process and Cycle
1. Laboratory Testing
- Typical Cycle: 5-7 working days.
- Testing Method:
- Heavy Metals: XRF initial screening + ICP-MS retest.
- Phthalates: GC-MS analysis.
2. Reporting and Compliance
- Obtain a test report in both Chinese and English, marked "Complies with SOR/2011-17 and related regulations."
- For Amazon, additional information is required: product images (including safety labels) and ASIN listing.
