The specific requirements and process guide for China's GB6675 testing of electric plush toys are compiled based on the latest regulations and industry practices of the national standard GB6675-2014 "Toy Safety," covering core modules such as mechanical physics, chemical toxicity, and electrical safety:
I. Core Testing Requirements (Special to Electric Plush Toys)
1. Mechanical and Physical Properties (Based on GB6675.2)
- Small Parts Testing: Toys for children under 36 months are designed to prevent the presence of easily detachable small parts (such as button batteries and plastic accessories) to prevent swallowing risks.
- Tension and Drop Testing: These tests simulate abuse scenarios (such as repeated pulling on plush parts and 50 drops) to assess structural stability.
- Battery Safety: The battery compartment must be double-locked (e.g., screws and latches) to prevent children from directly accessing the button battery.
2. Chemical Safety (according to GB6675.4)
- Heavy Metal Migration: Testing for eight migratable heavy metals, including lead, cadmium, and mercury (limits: lead ≤ 90 mg/kg, cadmium ≤ 75 mg/kg).
- Plasticizer Limits: The total amount of six phthalates (DEHP/DBP/BBP, etc.) must be ≤ 0.1%.
- Filling Safety: Plush filling fibers must be tested for formaldehyde content (limit ≤ 30 mg/kg) and migratable aromatic amines.
3. Electrical Safety (additionally complies with GB19865 "Safety of Electric Toys")
- Insulation and Electric Shock Protection: Circuits must be double-insulated, voltage ≤ 24V.
- Battery Overheat Protection: Surface temperature rise during charging and discharging must be ≤ 45°C.
- Sound and Light Control: Volume of sound-generating toys must be ≤ 85dB (at 25cm from the sound source).
4. Flammability (according to GB6675.3)
- Flame retardancy of plush material: Burning speed ≤ 30 mm/s (vertical burning test).
II. Testing Process (6-step Detailed Explanation)
A [Material Information Preparation] --> B [Disassembly and Inspection]
B --> C [Laboratory Dual-Line Testing]
C --> D [Physical/Chemical Testing]
C --> E [Electrical Safety Testing]
D & E --> F [Is the Test Qualified?]
F - Yes --> G [Issue Report]
F - No --> H [Material Replacement/Design Correction]
Step 1: Material Preparation and Sorting
- Documents: Provide BOM, circuit diagram, battery datasheet, and Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
- Samples:
- 3 complete sets of samples (including packaging, instructions, and accessories);
- Core components such as batteries and electronic motherboards are also provided.
Step 2: Commission a Testing Agency
- Select a laboratory with dual CMA/CNAS certification (such as Dezewei Testing).
- Sign a contract, specifying the test combination (e.g., "GB6675 full test + GB19865 electrical safety").
Step 3: Laboratory Specific Testing
| Test Type | Test Method
| Mechanical and Physical Properties | Tensile/Drop/Small Parts Screening
| Chemical Toxicity | GC-MS for Plasticizers, ICP for Heavy Metals
| Electrical Safety | Temperature Rise, Insulation Resistance, Short-Circuit Protection
| Combustion Performance | Vertical Combustion Apparatus
Step 4: Corrective Action and Re-inspection (if necessary)
- Typical Issues and Solutions:
- Excessive Plasticizer Content → Replace PVC with TPE;
- Easy-to-Open Battery Compartment → Add a Screw-Fixed Fixing
Step 5: Obtaining the Report and Label
- The report must include: product model, test data, limit comparison, and laboratory seal;
- The product packaging must be labeled with the "e" label and an age warning (e.g., "Contains small parts, not suitable for children under 3 years old").
III. Key Considerations
1. Cost and Cycle
- Cost: Full-unit testing is approximately ¥1,000–3,500 (combined testing of metal and non-metal materials can reduce costs by 30%);
- Cycle: Regular 5–7 working days, expedited service can be reduced to 3 days.
2. Exemptions and Updates
- Products intended for export may be exempted; domestic sales must be tested;
- Due to dynamic standard updates (e.g., stricter magnet size requirements in 2023), annual inspections are recommended.
3. Supply Chain Management
- Suppliers are required to provide proof of compliance with GB6675 for raw materials (e.g., formaldehyde test reports for filling cotton).
Process summary: Electric plush toys must meet the dual safety requirements of traditional plush materials and electronic modules. Priority should be given to separate testing (physical/chemical testing of the plush part, electrical testing of the electronic part). Choosing a laboratory with dual qualifications in toys and electronics can greatly improve efficiency.
