Testing Toy Coatings for Restricted Substances: A Comprehensive Guide

Standard-Related Information

The testing of toy coatings for restricted substances is a critical aspect of ensuring the safety and compliance of toys with international and national standards. This section provides an overview of the relevant standards, regulatory framework, and standard development organizations.

1. Regulatory Framework

The European Union (EU) has implemented the Toy Safety Directive (2009/48/EC), which sets out the requirements for toy safety, including the testing of toy coatings for restricted substances. The directive defines a list of prohibited and restricted substances that must not be present in toys above certain thresholds.

2. International Standards

The ISO (International Organization for Standardization) has published several standards related to toy safety, including:

  • ISO 8124-1:2016 - Safety of toys Part 1: Safety aspects related to mechanical properties

  • ISO 8124-3:2017 - Safety of toys Part 3: Migration of certain substances from plastic materials and articles containing such materials into simulated body fluid

    • The ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) has also published standards related to toy safety, including:

  • ASTM F963-17 - Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Toy Safety

    • 3. National Standards

    National standards, such as the Turkish Standard TSE EN 71, apply in specific countries. These standards often require testing for restricted substances in addition to other safety aspects.
