Toys sold must be age-appropriate

August 26, 2023

"Mom, I ate the Kitty's eyes." In life, such accidental injuries to children due to hidden dangers in the quality of children's toys often occur. Consumers can choose the most appropriate toy according to the child's ability and interest and the safety of the toy itself.
Safety warnings in the first place
According to the new standard of standardization of the Quality Supervision Bureau, the original national standard of "National Toy Technical Safety Code" has been greatly revised, and there are more comprehensive provisions and instructions for safety signs. Safety signs should be eye-catching, easy to read, easy to understand, and not easy to erase, which can reduce the danger caused in the process of use. Different types of toys have different safety labels. A more comprehensive regulation and explanation is made for the safety sign.
Free toys are also restricted
The new standard covers a very wide range, any toys sold on the market (including trial and free toys) and toys produced for market sales are within the scope of the standard, especially some small toys hidden in food bags, while ensuring safety can not ignore the health situation.
Age groups give the dividing line
In the new toy standard, there are detailed provisions on the criteria and basis for determining age groups. Three and eight years old are the clear dividing lines in the age groups. For toys suitable for use by children under 3 years of age, safety requirements are specifically added to the standard. Children in this age group are characterized by habitually putting objects into their mouths, so the toys they use must take into account the potential choking and choking hazards associated with small parts. The special point of children over 8 years old is that their reading ability has improved, and they can simply read, understand and pay attention to instructions, warnings, etc. Because in some cases instructions and warnings are necessary for safe use of the product, such products should be labeled with an age group designation for children over 8 years of age. Even so, if the toys are chemical devices, fuel-powered model vehicles and rockets that contain potentially harmful chemicals, children should not only reach the minimum age of eight, but also be safe to use under the supervision of their parents.
