Organotin Compounds Analysis in Toy Plastics (ISO 17353): Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

Standard-Related Information

The analysis of organotin compounds in toy plastics is a critical aspect of ensuring the safety and compliance of these products with regulatory requirements. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has established a standard for this purpose, known as ISO 17353.

ISO 17353:2015 is an international standard that specifies the methods for determining the content of organotin compounds in plastics used in toys. This standard applies to all types of plastics used in toy production, including polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), and polypropylene (PP).

The standard requires laboratories to use gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) or liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for the analysis of organotin compounds. The test method involves extracting the plastic sample with a solvent, followed by separation and detection using the specified analytical techniques.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The analysis of organotin compounds in toy plastics is governed by various national and international regulations, including:

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

  • US Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) 2008

  • Australian New Zealand Standard AS/NZS ISO 17353:2015

    • These regulations set limits for the content of organotin compounds in toys and require manufacturers to provide evidence of compliance with these standards.

    International and National Standards

    The following international and national standards apply to the analysis of organotin compounds in toy plastics:

  • ISO 17353:2015

  • ASTM D6353-14: Standard Practice for Determination of Organotin Compounds in Plastics Used in Toys

  • EN 14362-1:2004: European Standard for Determination of Organotin Compounds in Plastics Used in Toys (Withdrawn)

  • TSE 1615:2016: Turkish Standard for Determination of Organotin Compounds in Plastics Used in Toys

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The development and maintenance of standards for the analysis of organotin compounds in toy plastics involve various organizations, including:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)

  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)

    • These organizations work together to ensure that standards are aligned with regulatory requirements and industry needs.

    Standard Evolution and Update

    Standards evolve over time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, and industry practices. The ISO 17353 standard has undergone several revisions since its initial publication in 2003. The current version (2015) includes updates to the test methods and limits for organotin compounds.

    Standard Compliance Requirements

    Manufacturers must comply with relevant standards and regulations when producing toys containing plastics. Failure to comply can result in product recalls, fines, or even cessation of business operations.

    Why This Test is Needed and Required
