Toys and Children’s Products Testing & Certification ：Toys and children’s products are close companions for children as they grow. Their quality and safety directly affect children’s physical and mental health. Since children’s immune systems and body organs are still developing, and they tend to bite, chew and drop objects, rigorous testing serves not only as an essential safeguard for safety but also as a fundamental prerequisite for products to enter the market compliantly.

I. Three Core Testing Categories

• – Physical and Mechanical Safety: Check for easily detachable small parts to prevent choking hazards from accidental ingestion; control sharp edges and points to avoid cuts and puncture injuries; restrict cord lengths to eliminate strangulation risks. Tensile, drop and stability tests are performed to ensure structural safety of products.
• – Control of Hazardous Chemical Substances: Test for heavy metals (lead, cadmium, mercury, etc.), phthalate plasticizers, formaldehyde, migratory elements and other items. Prevent harmful substances from entering children’s bodies through mouthing or skin contact, so as to avoid health hazards such as chronic poisoning and endocrine damage.
• – Combustion and Electrical Safety: Conduct flammability tests for plush and paper toys. For electric toys, test battery compartment protection, circuit protection and temperature rise to avoid risks of electric leakage, short circuit and burns caused by overheating.
