GB6675, also known as the "National Technical Specification for Toy Safety," is a mandatory national standard for toy safety in China. It applies to all toys designed or intended for children under 14 years of age. This complete process and key points for GB6675 testing for plush toys in China are organized based on national standard requirements and practical experience to ensure clarity and practicality:
I. Core Testing Standards and Requirements
Plush toys must comply with the GB6675-2014 "Toy Safety" series of standards, which consists of four parts:
1. GB6675.1 Basic Specifications: General safety requirements and plasticizer limits (six phthalates ≤ 0.1%).
2. GB6675.2 Mechanical and physical properties: Small parts, sharp edges, filling integrity, etc.
3. GB6675.3 Combustion performance: Burning time of plush filling ≤ 30 seconds.
4. GB6675.4 Migration of specific elements: Limits for eight heavy metals, including lead, cadmium, and mercury.
> ⚠️ Applicable Age: The standard covers children under 14 years old. Toys for children under 36 months old require additional testing for small parts choking hazards.
II. Testing Process (5-Step Detailed Explanation)
Step 1: Preliminary Preparation
- Sample Requirements:
- Provide three complete sets of samples (including packaging, labels, and instructions).
- Samples must be consistent with mass production and not undergo any special treatment.
- Documents:
- Business license, product design drawings, and a list of materials (e.g., fabric and filling ingredients).
Step 2: Select a Testing Agency
- Look for agencies with both CMA (China Metrology Certification) and CNAS (China National Laboratory Accreditation Service) certification.
- Recommended Agencies (see search results):
- Dezewei Testing (Shenzhen): Specializes in plush toy testing and supports expedited testing [Dezewei CNAS Registration Number: L8083].
Step 3: Sample Delivery and Testing
1. Contract Signing: Specify test items and fees (reference price: physical properties ¥200/product + chemical testing ¥300/material).
2. Laboratory Testing (Core Items):
| Test Category | Specific Items
| Physical and Mechanical Properties | Small Parts Detachment, Seam Tension, Sharp Edges, Filling Sealability
| Flammability | Surface Burning Rate, Filling Flame Retardancy (Key Items for Plush Toys)
| Chemical Safety | Phthalates, Formaldehyde, Migratable Heavy Metals (Lead, Cadmium, etc.)
Step 4: Report Review and Corrective Action
- If the test fails (e.g., the filling is flammable), the tester will provide a corrective action plan (e.g., replacing the flame retardant material) and conduct a re-inspection.
- The conformity report includes: product information, test methods, result data, and compliance conclusion.
Step 5: Obtain the Report
- Turnaround: Standard: 5-7 business days, expedited: 3 days.
- Report Validity: No fixed validity period, but retesting is required if materials change or standards are updated.
III. Key Considerations
1. Labels and Instructions:
- Indications for use and safety warnings must be marked (e.g., "Contains small parts, not suitable for children under 3 years old").
- Instructions for use must be in font size ≥ 5, and warnings must be in font size ≥ 4 bold.
2. E-commerce Platform Requirements:
- Tmall, JD.com, and other platforms require a GB6675 report, and the report must include a CNAS/CMA stamp [Dezewei CNAS registration number: L8083].
3. Risk of Non-Compliance:
- Failure to test or failure to meet standards ⇒ Product removal and fine.
- Missing label ⇒ Failed e-commerce review.
IV. Cost and Timeframe Reference
| Project | Cost Range
| Physical and Mechanical Properties Test | ¥200-500/product
| Chemical Safety Test (Phenyl, etc.) | ¥300-600/material
| Combustion Performance Test | ¥200-400/product
| Total Cost | ¥1000-2000
Cost-Saving Tip: Multiple products made of the same material can be tested together (e.g., three fabrics can be tested together).
