Australian Toy Safety Standard (AS/NZS ISO 8124)

The Australian toy standard AS/NZA 8124 is revised based on the international standard ISO 8124, and the requirements of ISO 8124 are basically the same as those of the European Union EN71.
AS/NZS 8124 includes the following parts, the general name is Toy Safety:

Part 1: Safety standards for mechanical and physical properties

The latest version of this part of the AS/NZS 8124 standard is AS/NZS 8124 updated in 2019. The requirements of this section apply to all toys, that is, any products or materials designed or clearly indicated or used by children under 14 years of age to play.
This section specifies acceptable judgment criteria (based on) for the structural characteristics of toys, such as sharpness, size, shape, clearance (such as sound, small parts, sharp and sharp edges, hinge clearance), and certain toys. Acceptable criteria for class-specific performance (for example: the maximum kinetic energy of projectiles with inelastic ends, the minimum angle of some ride-on toys).
This section specifies the toy requirements and test methods for children of all age groups from birth to 14 years.
This section also requires that appropriate warnings and instructions be marked on certain toys or their packaging. Due to different languages in different countries, the text of these warnings and instructions is not specified, but the overall requirements are given in Appendix C.
This section does not indicate the potential harm to cover or contain various special toys or toy types that have been considered.
Example 1: A typical example of sharp injury is the sexual tip of the needle. The injury of the needle has been recognized by the buyer of the toy sewing kit, and the functional sharp point injury is notified to the user through normal education, and a warning sign is marked on the product packaging.
Example 2: Toy syringes also have use-related and known injuries (such as instability during use, especially for beginners). Potential injuries (sharp edges, clamping injuries, etc.) with structural characteristics, refer to ISO 8124 The requirements of this part of the standard should be reduced to a minimum.

Part 2: Flammability

The latest version of this part of the AS/NZS 8124 standard is ASNZS 8124-2:2016, which was updated in 2016. This part specifies the types of combustible materials that are prohibited from being used in toys and the requirements for specific toys when exposed to small fire sources. Requirements. Regulation 5 of this part specifies the test method.

Part 3: Migration of specific elements

The latest version of this part of the AS/NZS 8124 standard is AS/NZS 8124-3:2016, which was updated in 2016. This part mainly controls the heavy metal content of accessible materials in toy products. This update did not change the standard specific limit requirements, but made the following adjustments at some non-technical levels:
1) The new standard specifies the scope of toy materials that need to be tested in detail, and expands the scope of testing of surface coatings on the basis of the first edition;
2) The new standard adds the definition of "paper and cardboard";
3) The new standard changes the test reagents used for degreasing and dewaxing. The changed reagents are consistent with the latest version of EN71-3;
4) The new standard adds that when the quantitative analysis determines whether it meets the requirements, the uncertainty needs to be considered;
5) The new standard changes the maximum inhalable amount of antimony from 1.4 μg/day to 0.2 μg/day.
The specific limit requirements for this section are as follows:

	锑(Sb)	砷(As)	钡(Ba)	镉(Cd)	铬(Cr)	铅(Pb)	汞(Hg)	硒(Se)
ppm	SOl.60	SOl.25	SOl.1000	SOl.75	SOl.60	SOl.90	SOl.60	SOl.500

In the near future, ASNZS 8124 will add several parts, namely: the total concentration of specific elements in toy materials; determination of phthalate plasticizers in plastic materials, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
