How do I inspect my children's toys?

First, why children's toys need strict inspection?

Children are in the stage of rapid physical and mental development, their bodies are more fragile, and their cognitive and self-protection abilities are limited. Unqualified toys may have sharp edges, small parts that can be easily dislodged and swallowed, and contain harmful substances, all of which may pose a serious threat to children's health. Therefore, ensuring the quality of toys through a rigorous goods inspection process is a key line of defense in safeguarding children's safety.

Second, children's toys inspection process details

1. Security base checking

No sharp edges/tips: Touch the edges, seams, and screw holes of the toy to make sure there are no burrs, burrs, or sharp parts (use the back of your hand to gently rub them, and focus on sensitive areas).

Risk of small parts: For toys for children under 3 years old, check that removable parts (e.g. buttons, decorative pieces) can pass through the "small parts test cylinder" (31.75mm in diameter) to prevent accidental swallowing and choking (GB 6675.2 regulations).

Clearance / Moving Parts: Check the clearance of moving parts such as gears and pulleys to avoid pinching fingers; folding/retracting structures should be tested to see if they lock securely to prevent accidental pinching.

2. Appearance inspection

Check the overall appearance of the toy for imperfections, such as scratches, cracks, and fading colors. For plush toys, check whether the fabric is soft and comfortable, with or without hair removal; for plastic toys, check whether the surface is smooth with or without burrs. At the same time, you should also pay attention to whether the color of the toys is bright and uniform, because some poor-quality pigments may contain heavy metals and other harmful substances.

3. Structural safety inspection

Check carefully whether the structure of the toy is solid. For example, whether the wheels of a toy car are firmly mounted and will not fall off easily; whether the joints of block-type toys are tightly packed and will not come apart easily. For toys with moving parts, such as the joints of dolls, test to see if they move smoothly and whether there is a potential risk of pinching the child's fingers.

4. Functional and performance testing

Mechanical functions:

Is the toy action (e.g., pressing, stretching, spinning) smooth, with no unusual jams or noises.

Electric toys: whether the battery installation is stable, whether the positive and negative poles are clearly marked, whether there is abnormal heat and poor battery contact during operation.

Sound / light-up toys: whether the volume is too high (to avoid hearing damage), whether the light is blinding (whether the flashing frequency meets the standard).

Durability Preliminary Tests:

Slight drop test (simulate daily use scenarios, such as 1 meter height free fall, observe whether the crack, parts fall off).

Tensile / Torque Test: Apply a standard tensile force (e.g. 90N) to pullable parts (e.g. doll hair, toy wheels) to check for detachment.

5. Packaging and labeling inspection

Packaging security:

Whether the packaging material is firm, with or without sharp edges (e.g., metal nails, hard plastic pieces); plastic bags need to have ventilation holes (to prevent the risk of suffocation of children).

Whether the warnings on the package are clear (e.g., "Contains small parts and is not suitable for children under 3 years of age," "Adults are required to accompany the use of the product").

Label information integrity:

It must contain: product name, applicable age, manufacturer's information, implementation standard number (e.g. GB 6675), and warning instructions (e.g. precautions for battery use).

Exporting toys requires additional checks for labeling requirements in the target market (e.g., CE marking in the EU, ASTM certification mark in the US).

6. Chemical Hazardous Substance Testing

Chemicals in toys can have long-term effects on children's health. Test for heavy metals such as lead, mercury and cadmium, as well as harmful substances such as formaldehyde and phthalates. These substances, if exceeded, may affect the development of a child's nervous system, immune system, and so on.
