  • Damage to brand reputation

  • Injuries and fatalities

    • Toy stability and tip-over risk compliance testing involves a series of physical and mechanical tests designed to assess the toys ability to withstand various types of loading, including drop testing.

    Testing Equipment and Instruments Used

  • Drop testers: used to simulate falls from different heights

  • Torsion testers: used to measure twisting forces

  • Compression testers: used to measure compressive forces

  • Impact testers: used to measure impact forces

    • Testing Environment Requirements

  • Temperature: 20C 2C (68F 3.6F)

  • Humidity: 60 10

  • Pressure: 1 atm 0.5 atm

    • Sample Preparation Procedures

    Toys are prepared for testing by:

  • Cleaning and degreasing

  • Removing any packaging or accessories

  • Ensuring proper assembly and configuration

    • Testing Parameters and Conditions

    Testing parameters include:

  • Drop height: 20 cm, 40 cm, and 80 cm (7.9 in, 15.7 in, and 31.5 in)

  • Torsion angle: 30 and 60

  • Compression force: 10 N to 100 N (2.3 lbf to 22.8 lbf)

  • Impact velocity: 1 m/s to 4 m/s (3.6 ft/s to 14.1 ft/s)

    • Toy stability and tip-over risk compliance testing involves a series of physical and mechanical tests designed to assess the toys ability to withstand various types of loading, including drop testing.

    Data Analysis and Reporting

    Testing data is analyzed using specialized software to determine:

  • Stability and tip-over risks

  • Critical loads and forces

  • Injury potential

    • Test results are reported in compliance with relevant standards and regulations.
