Board Game Card Test Report Process (GB6675)
The GB6675 series of standards (National Standards for Toy Safety) are mandatory national standards applicable to toys used by children under 14 years old. Although board game cards may seem simple, their printing inks and laminating materials are often in contact with or even chewed by children; therefore, they must be strictly implemented according to GB6675. The following is the detailed application process:
I. Pre-application Preparation
1. Clarify Product Classification and Applicable Standards
Confirm whether the cards fall under the category of toys (for children under 14 years old).
Key Applicable Standards to Focus On:
GB 6675.1-2014 "Toy Safety Part 1: Basic Specifications"
GB 6675.2-2014 "Toy Safety Part 2: Mechanical and Physical Properties"
GB 6675.3-2014 "Toy Safety Part 3: Flammability"
GB 6675.4-2014 "Toy Safety Part 4: Migration of Certain Elements"
2. Prepare Basic Documents
Product Instructions (including age rating and warnings)
Material List (paper, ink, lamination, UV coating)
Finished Product Samples (generally 3-5 complete sets of cards are required)
For multiple products in the same series, consider covering all models within the series to save costs.
II. Testing Stage
3. Engage a laboratory with CNAS/CMA accreditation.
Select a national key toy testing laboratory or third-party testing organization with toy testing qualifications (e.g., Dezewei Testing CNAS registration number: L8083).
Sign a testing contract, specifying the testing items and cycle.
4. Key Testing Items
Mechanical and Physical Properties: Card size, edge sharpness, sharp points, protruding parts, folding strength
Chemical Safety: Migration testing of 8 heavy metals (lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic, etc.), accessible material testing
Flammability: Burning rate test (for coated materials)
Special Properties: Magnetic testing (if magnet parts are involved), small parts testing (to prevent accidental ingestion)
III. Report Issuance Stage
5. Laboratory issues draft report
The testing cycle is usually 5-7 working days (for routine items).
The initial draft can be reviewed by the company to verify product information before the final version is issued.
6. Rectification and Retesting (if any)
If any item fails, the ink or material must be replaced and the test repeated.
It is recommended to conduct a pre-evaluation of the formula in advance to avoid repeated sample submissions.
7. Obtaining an Official Test Report
The report will be stamped with both CMA and CNAS official seals upon issuance.
The report will be in Chinese and will include: sample description, testing basis, test results, and pass/fail determination.
IV. Subsequent Compliance Use
8. Report Management and Market Integration
The report serves as quality assurance and can be used for: e-commerce platform entry, offline supermarket distribution, and government inspection responses.
Retain the report for at least 5 years for future reference.
It is recommended to affix the CCC certification mark to the packaging (applicable to some categories).
Key Considerations
| Frequently Asked Questions | Avoidance Suggestions
| Excessive Heavy Metals in Ink | Use environmentally friendly soybean ink and retain the supplier's RoHS/EN71 report.
| Inadequate Flammability of Coating | Choose coating materials with a flame retardant rating of B1 or higher.
| Sharp Card Edges | Use rounded corner die-cutting process with a radius ≥ 2mm.
| Packages Classified as Small Parts | Versions for children under 3 years old must include the warning: "Contains small parts; not suitable for children under 3 years old."
Estimated Processing Time and Costs
Processing Time: Initial testing approximately 5-7 business days
Overall Cost: Regular board game cards approximately 500-1500 RMB, with additional costs for magnetic accessories or special printing processes.
Optimization Suggestions:
If the cards are also exported to the EU, they can be submitted for testing together with international standards such as EN71 and ASTM F963 to save on duplicate testing costs.
For series of board game products (such as basic and deluxe versions), it is recommended to cover different models to reduce costs.
When printing and advertising on packaging, be sure to indicate "Suitable Age" and necessary warnings to avoid subsequent legal risks.
