Toy testing items:

Part 1: Mechanical Testing

This section specifies the safety requirements for toys used by children from birth to the age of 14. Mainly determine whether toys contain sharp edges or dangerous sharp points. After conducting abuse tests (such as pressure, tension, torsion, impact, drop, etc.), determine whether there are small balls or small parts to avoid choking hazards caused by swallowing by children.
