Comprehensive Guide to TCEP, TDCP and TECP Testing in Toy Foams (California Prop 65)

Standard-Related Information

TCEP, TDCP, and TECP testing in toy foams is governed by various international and national standards that ensure the safety of consumers. The relevant standards for this testing service include:

  • ISO 9001:2015: This standard specifies the requirements for a quality management system to ensure consistent quality products and services.

  • EN 71:2018: This standard specifies the requirements for safety assessment of toys, including limits on chemical substances like TCEP, TDCP, and TECP.

  • California Prop 65: This legislation requires businesses to inform consumers about potential exposures to chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

    • Other relevant standards include:

  • ASTM F963-18: Standard for Safety of Childrens Toy Products

  • TSE EN ISO 8124:2016: Turkish standard for safety assessment of toys

  • CNS 14348:2018: Taiwan standard for safety assessment of toys

    • These standards are developed by organizations such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC).

    Standard Development Organizations

    The development and update of these standards involve collaboration between industry experts, governments, and regulatory bodies. These organizations ensure that standards remain relevant and effective in ensuring product safety.
