Plush toys are toys made mainly of plush fabric, polypropylene cotton, and other textile materials, filled with various fillers inside. Plush toys are widely popular due to their realistic and cute design, soft and delicate feel, and the advantages of not being afraid of compression and easy cleaning. The Canadian Toy SOR-2011/17 certification is for all toys used by children aged 12 and under to comply with federal safety standards under the Canadian Consumer Goods Act (CCPSA).
Canada Toys SOR-2011-17 does not have specific testing requirements for plush toys, but mainly focuses on the safety of toys. Specifically, there are the following testing items:
1. Physical and mechanical properties: It is required that the structure and components of plush toys should be stable, not easy to fall off or form small parts, to avoid accidental ingestion by infants and young children. In addition, the edges and corners of toys should be rounded to prevent scratches or punctures on infants and young children.
2. Flame retardancy: The surface material of plush toys should have a certain degree of flame retardancy to prevent combustion.
3. Chemical properties: It is required that all materials and coatings used in the manufacturing process of plush toys should not contain harmful chemicals to the human body, especially heavy metals.
4. Accessibility: For plush toys that can be placed in the mouth, a accessibility test should be conducted to evaluate the safety of the toy in the mouth.
5. Noise: There are also certain requirements for the noise generated by plush toys to avoid damage to the hearing of infants and young children.
The SOR-2011/17 certification process for plush toys is as follows:
1. Provide sample drawings.
2. Confirm testing standards and regulations.
3. Provide physical sample testing.
4. Pay the testing fee.
5. Test the sample and issue a test report if it passes the test.
