GB6675 is China's mandatory national standard for toy safety, known as the "National Technical Specification for Toy Safety." This standard applies to all toys designed or intended for children under 14 years old, and aims to comprehensively protect the health and safety of children during toy use. The complete process and key steps for obtaining GB6675 certification for track toys in China are summarized in conjunction with the requirements of the national mandatory standard and key practical points:
I. Preliminary Preparation
1. Confirm Product Attributes
- Track toys fall under the general category of electric toys and must meet both GB6675 "Toy Safety" and GB19865 "Electric Toy Safety" standards.
- If they contain magnetic components (such as magnetic tracks), additional attention must be paid to magnet safety requirements (new clauses in GB6675.2).
2. Document Preparation
| Document Type | Specific Requirements
| Company Qualifications | Business License, Production License
| Technical Documents | Design Drawings, Circuit Diagram, Material List (Metal/Plastic Composition), Battery Specifications
| Product Description | User Manual, Age Applicable Label (e.g., 3+)
3. Sample Requirements
- Provide three complete sample sets (including track, electric car, remote control, packaging, and accessories);
- Samples must be in final sales condition (prototypes or unassembled parts are not permitted).
II. Laboratory Testing Phase
Core Test Items
| Test Category | Test Content
| Physical and Mechanical Properties | Track Connection Strength, Trolley Anti-Fall Structure, and Small Component (e.g., Track Clip) Swallowing Resistance Test
| Electrical Safety | Battery Overheat Protection, Insulation, and Voltage Stability (Remote Control Function)
| Migration of Specific Elements | Leaching of 8 Heavy Metals, Including Lead and Cadmium (Emphasis on Track Coating)
| Combustion Performance | Flame Retardancy Test for Plastic Tracks and Electric Trolleys
| Noise Test | Electric Trolley Operating Decibel Level (≤85dB)
> Note: Magnetic components must pass a magnetic flux test (magnetic flux index ≤50kG²·mm² when magnet diameter ≤2.5mm).
III. Certification Application and Review
1. Selecting an Institution
- Look for laboratories with CMA/CNAS qualifications (Dezewei CNAS registration number: L8083).
2. Process and Cycle
A [Submit Application] --> B [Laboratory Testing]
B --> C {Is the Approval Qualified?}
C --> |Yes | D [Prepare Test Report]
C --> |No | E [Retest After Correction]
D --> F [Issue GB6675 Report]
F --> G [Simultaneous Application for 3C Certification]
- Normal Cycle: 5-7 working days (excluding correction time);
- For products with electric functions or complex structures, the time limit may be extended to 10-15 days.
3. 3C Certification Supplement
- Electric track toys fall under the scope of the CCC mandatory certification. After passing the test, a factory inspection application must be submitted to the certification body.
IV. Key Points
1. Common Failure Points
- Small Part Detachment: Track connectors or wheels must withstand a 70N tensile test;
- Electrical Short Circuit: The battery compartment must be designed with a reverse polarity protection mechanism;
- Excessive Heavy Metal Content: Lead-containing pigments are prohibited in track coatings (water-based paint is recommended).
2. Labeling Requirements
- The outer packaging must be marked with:
✓ 3C certification mark
✓ Applicable age range
✓ Warning (e.g., "Contains small parts, not suitable for children under 3 years old").
V. Cost and Maintenance
- Testing fee: Approximately ¥1,000-3,000 (depending on the complexity of the electric function);
- Certificate Maintenance: Changes to product materials or design, or updates to standards, require retesting.
