ISO 8124-12 Testing of Toy String and Cord Safety

ISO 8124-12 is an international standard that specifies the safety requirements for toy strings and cords. The standard is part of the larger ISO 8124 series, which covers various aspects of toy safety. In this section, we will provide comprehensive information about the relevant standards, legal and regulatory framework, and international and national standards applicable to this specific laboratory test.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The Toy Safety Directive (TSD) 2009/48/EC is a European Union directive that sets out safety requirements for toys. The TSD requires manufacturers to ensure that their products comply with the relevant safety standards, including ISO 8124-12. In addition to the EU directives, many countries have their own national laws and regulations governing toy safety.

International and National Standards

The following international and national standards are applicable to ISO 8124-12 Testing of Toy String and Cord Safety:

  • International:

    • ISO 8124-1:2016 - Safety aspects related to materials

    ISO 8124-2:2016 - Safety aspects related to mechanical and physical properties

    ISO 8124-3:2016 - Safety aspects related to electrical, thermal, and radiation properties

    ISO 8124-12:2018 - Safety aspects related to strings and cords

  • National:

    • EU Directive 2009/48/EC (Toy Safety Directive)

    US Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) of 2008

    Canadian Hazardous Products Act

    Standard Development Organizations

    The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is the primary standard development organization responsible for developing and maintaining international standards. ISO collaborates with other organizations, such as the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

    Evolution of Standards

    Standards evolve over time to reflect changes in technology, consumer expectations, and regulatory requirements. When a new standard is developed or an existing one is updated, it must undergo a rigorous review process involving stakeholders from industry, academia, government, and other relevant organizations.

    Standard Numbers and Scope

    The following are specific standard numbers and their scope:

  • ISO 8124-12:2018 - Safety aspects related to strings and cords

    • This standard specifies the safety requirements for toy strings and cords, including material properties, mechanical strength, and thermal stability.

  • ISO 8124-1:2016 - Safety aspects related to materials

    • This standard sets out general principles for assessing the safety of materials used in toys.

    Standard Compliance Requirements

    Manufacturers must comply with relevant standards to ensure their products meet the required safety levels. Compliance requirements vary depending on the industry, product category, and geographical region.
