The Dangerous Products (Toys) Regulations are the main regulations in Canada regarding market access for toy products:
1. Label requirements
Any text, warning, or other information required by regulations must be marked in both English and French
2. Electrical hazards
Toys and children's products operating at a voltage not exceeding 220V must meet the requirements of Canadian Standards Association C22.2 No. 149-1972
3. Asphyxiation hazard
Any soft film plastic bag with an opening circumference of no less than 14 inches, used for packaging toys and children's products, should have a thickness greater than 0.019mm
Any toy that is large enough for children to enter and can be closed with a lid or door, such as a toy box, must have sufficient size and number of ventilation holes on each adjacent surface to avoid the hazards caused by suffocation
4. Toxic hazards
In addition to the clear requirements for toxic elements in regulations, toys and children's products must not contain excessive amounts of toxic, corrosive, or irritating substances and photosensitizers
5. Heat hazard
The operation of toys should not cause the temperature to exceed the standard limit.
Under abnormal circumstances, the product should not pose a risk of fire, electric shock, or scalding.
6. Mechanical hazards
For use by children under 3 years old, under reasonable and foreseeable circumstances, there should be no small components, that is, the part where no more than 1 pound of force can be applied to fully enter the "small component cylinder" (excluding soft textile fiber materials)
Before and after reasonable and foreseeable use and abuse testing, there should be no sharp points or edges that may pose a risk of stabbing or scratching
The folding mechanism should have a safe locking device to prevent accidental collapse
Except for assembling toys, any toy with spring driven mechanical devices must be kept untouchable before and after reasonable and foreseeable use and abuse testing
The operation of toys should not cause the temperature to exceed the standard limit.
Ejections, such as arrows, javelins, etc., must have a protective head that cannot fall off under a pulling force of 10 pounds (44.5 Newton)?? Toys that are fixed for use and must withstand the weight of children should be kept horizontal and stable during use
7. Chemical substance control (control of total lead/mercury content and soluble heavy metals in paints and similar materials)
