Safety certification for children's toy blind boxes requires meticulous attention, as it directly impacts children's health. Obtaining Chinese GB6675 certification for children's toy blind boxes must follow standardized procedures to ensure compliance with mechanical, physical, and chemical safety requirements.
I. Pre-Certification Preparation (Crucial First Step)
1. Product Attribute Confirmation
- Age Grouping: Based on the size/function of the toy inside the blind box, the applicable age should be labeled (e.g., "3 years and up" or "8 years and up"). Small parts (detachable parts with a diameter <31.75mm) are prohibited for children aged 0-3 years.
- Special Attribute Judgment:
If containing electronic components (such as light-emitting/sound-emitting modules), it must simultaneously meet GB19865 "Safety of Electric Toys".
If containing magnetic components, it must comply with the newly added magnet safety requirements of GB6675.2-2014 (magnetic flux index ≥50kG²mm² requires a warning).
2. Technical Documentation List
- Required Documents:
Product structure diagram (indicating the material of each component, such as "ABS plastic body + metal chain")
Material list (including plastic grade, coating type, etc., such as "PC/ABS alloy, grade FR-709")
Packaging and instruction manual (must include warnings such as "Contains small parts, not suitable for children under 3 years old")
II. Core Certification Process (5-7 working days)
1. Selection of Testing Institution
- Qualification Requirements: Must possess CMA+CNAS dual certification (can be verified through the official website of the Certification and Accreditation Administration of the People's Republic of China). Recommended institutions include Dezewei Testing, CNAS registration number: L8083.
- Key contract points: Clearly define testing standards (all items in GB6675.1-4-2014), costs (approximately 800-3000 RMB per item), and expedited service (an additional 50% fee applies for 3 business days).
2. Sample Submission Specifications
- Quantity: 3 complete sets of samples (including all blind box styles; for example, a set of 6 blind boxes requires 18 individual items)
- Condition Requirements:
Unopened original packaging (simulating real sales condition)
Complete accessories (such as stickers, small tools, etc. are indispensable)
Special Handling: Electronic blind boxes require rechargeable batteries/power adapters.
3. Laboratory Testing Items
| Testing Category | Key Items
| Mechanical and Physical Properties | Small Parts Tensile Test (70N force applied for 30 seconds)
| | Edge and Sharp Point Test
| | Drop Test (1.3-meter hexahedral drop)
| Chemical Safety | 8 migratable heavy metals (lead, cadmium, etc.)
| | Total of 6 phthalates
| | Formaldehyde Emission
| Combustion Performance | Flammability Test
4. Report Review and Rectification
- Initial Inspection Failure Handling: The laboratory will provide a "Non-conformance Report," and the company must make targeted rectifications (e.g., replacing with low-lead paint, increasing component fixation strength).
- Re-inspection Requirements: After rectification, provide 1-2 sets of samples, focusing on retesting the non-conforming items. The cycle is shortened to 3 working days.
III. Special Precautions for Blind Boxes
1. Packaging and Labeling Standards
- The outer packaging of blind boxes must clearly state:
"Contains small parts; do not allow children under 3 years old to play with it."
Applicable age + warning icons (e.g., danger icon for small parts)
Manufacturer information (name, address, contact information)
2. Series Product Certification Strategy
- Different styles of blind boxes in the same series: If the structure/material is the same, a difference test can be applied for (testing only representative styles + material changes), saving 30% of testing costs.
- Hidden/Rare models: Must be submitted for testing separately (due to possible use of special materials or processes).
IV. Post-Certification Management
- Report Validity: Valid indefinitely, but retesting is required for product material changes/structural adjustments.
- Market supervision response: Retain test reports and raw material purchase vouchers for at least 2 years to respond to market supervision spot checks.
