Obtaining a GB6675 testing report for early childhood education toys is indeed a core step in ensuring product compliance for market entry. Based on the latest standard requirements, the complete process needs to cover five stages from initial preparation to report acquisition, with a focus on the differentiated testing requirements corresponding to age groups.
I. Preliminary Preparation: Clarifying Product Attributes and Document List
1. Product Attribute Confirmation
- Age Grouping Determination
- 0-3 years (under 36 months): Requires additional small part tensile strength test (90N without detachment), packaging film thickness ≥ 0.038mm to prevent suffocation
- 3-14 years: Small parts are allowed, but age warnings must be clearly marked (font ≥ 4-point boldface)
- Functional Characteristics Verification
- Components containing electronic elements (e.g., early education story machines) must simultaneously meet GB19865 "Safety of Electric Toys"
- Magnetic components (e.g., magnetic building blocks) must pass a 90N magnet tensile strength test to prevent detachment
2. Sample and Technical Document Preparation
| Material Type | Specific Requirements
| Sample Quantity | 3-5 complete finished products (including packaging, instruction manual, and accessories), must be consistent with mass production
| Technical Documents | Material list (e.g., ABS/PVC composition), design drawings (including small part dimensions), BOM (Bill of Materials)
| Supplementary Documents | MSDS report for paints/inks, GB18401 compliance certificate for textile fillings (for plush fabrics)
II. Selection of Testing Institutions: Matching Qualifications and Standards
- Core Qualification Requirements
- Must possess both CMA (China Metrology Accreditation) and CNAS (China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment) qualifications (institutions can be found in the directory on the website of the Certification and Accreditation Administration of the People's Republic of China).
- Prioritize laboratories with special authorization for toy testing (e.g., Dezewei Testing CNAS registration number: L8083).
- Selection Recommendations
- E-commerce platform sales: Confirm that the institution's report is recognized by Tmall/JD.com (must include the CMA mark).
- Balancing export and domestic sales: Choose an institution that can simultaneously issue GB6675+EN71 dual reports to reduce the cost of repeated testing.
III. Core Testing Process: Phased Testing Focus
1. Mechanical and Physical Performance Testing (GB6675.2-2014)
- Key Items
- Small Parts Testing: Parts with a diameter <31.75mm (such as buttons, small beads) are prohibited in products for children under 3 years old.
- Structural Strength: Ride-on toys must pass a 500N static strength test (such as early childhood rocking horses).
- Sharp Edges: Metal parts must pass a 1.35mm sharpness test; wooden toys must be sanded.
2. Chemical Safety Testing (GB6675.4-2014)
- Heavy Metal Migration: Testing for 8 elements including lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd), with a lead limit of ≤130mg/kg.
- Plasticizer Control: Total content of 6 phthalates including DEHP and DBP ≤0.1% (especially for PVC parts).
- New requirement for 2025: Short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) ≤0.15%, requiring a supply chain material commitment letter.
3. Combustion Performance Testing (GB6675.3-2014)
- Plush toy stuffing burning time must be ≤30 seconds.
- Paper/textile parts must pass a vertical burning test (flame spread speed <100mm/min).
IV. Cycle and Costs: Regular and Expedited Options
| Project | Regular Process | Expedited Service
| Testing Cycle | 5-10 business days | 3-5 business days (+50% fee)
| Retesting Cost | 50% fee for non-conforming items | No expedited channel
V. Report Acquisition and Subsequent Compliance
1. Report Review Key Points
- Must include CMA/CNAS mark, testing standard (GB6675.1-4-2014), and age group determination criteria.
- Chemical tests must clearly list the specific values of each element (not just label "qualified").
2. Required Procedures for Market Launch
- E-commerce Platforms: Upload a scanned copy of the report to the merchant's backend (e.g., Tmall "Qualification Center").
- Offline Sales: Application required simultaneously. CCC certification (for mandatory catalog products such as electric toys), and passing CQC factory inspection.
VI. Common Failure Points and Prevention Solutions
1. Small parts detaching: Products for children under 3 years old should use a double-fastening method of "hot-melt + mechanical clips" (e.g., eyes on plush toys).
2. Excessive chemical substances: Prioritize purchasing raw materials certified by EN71-3, and request supplier test reports in advance.
3. Non-standard labeling: Age warnings must include both "Not suitable for children under 3 years old" and an icon (GB5296.5 standard).
