American Toy Mandatory Standard "Consumer Safety Specification - Toy Safety"
The American Toys Compulsory Standard ASTM F963-16 "Consumer Safety Regulations - Toy Safety", which was established by the American Society for Testing and Materials ASTM, came into effect on April 30, 2017, and the certification of toys produced on the effective date and thereafter (children The product certificate must be tested in accordance with the requirements of ASTM F963-16. For Chinese toy exporters, toys that do not meet the requirements of ASTM F963-16 cannot enter the US market.
The new standard covers all toys sold in the United States. The overall requirements are more stringent than the previous ASTM F963-11 standard. The main requirements are: the new revised projectile kinetic energy requirements are consistent with the national standard; the addition of rechargeable batteries and battery packs Toy testing requirements, testing requirements for inflatable toys, toy box testing requirements, button batteries with a voltage greater than or equal to 1.5V increase the warning label requirements; revision of heavy metal and microbiological requirements.

Rubber pacifiers and standards for testing related substances in pacifiers
The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) issued EN 12868:2017 for imine and nitroso substances released in medium elastomers or rubber nipples and pacifiers. The national standards that conflict with it will be withdrawn by July 2017.
The EN 12868:2017 has changed the 1999 version, mainly in:
Redefining “positive-nitrosamines†and “ready-to-use productsâ€; changing the definitions of “elastomers†and “rubbersâ€; requiring two migration tests and two measurements; changing procedures, including nitrosation temperatures, And specifies the minimum sample size of the elastomer sample and rubber in the test; N-nitrosodiisobutylamine (NDiBA, CAS No. 997-95-5) is classified as an identifiable nitrosamine in the teat, this The regulations are related to the test and calibration standards; the gas chromatography (GC) for providing the n-nitrosamine calibration solution and the retention time analyzed by the thermal energy analyzer (TEA) detector are used for the auxiliary analysis (Attachment B); Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MSn) was used as an alternative analytical method for nitrosamines and nitroso compounds.

Introducing new regulations for lead content in children's products such as toys
The content of heavy metal lead in consumer products has always been the focus of quality management departments in various countries, especially for children's products. In recent years, the regulations and standards for heavy metal lead in children's products such as toys have been updated frequently and increasingly. Recently, Canada and the European Union have successively introduced new regulations on lead content such as children's products and toys, which have expanded the scope of application of regulations and increased the lead limit for heavy metals.
On February 15, 2017, Health Canada's new "Consumer Products Leading Regulations" consultation period ended, which is expected to take effect in the fourth quarter of 2017, and the new regulations expand the range of products covered by children's products.
On March 27, 2017, the EU Council of Ministers also adopted the amendments to Annex II of the Toy Safety Directive to further reduce the migration of heavy metal lead in toys. The amendment came into effect 20 days after the publication of the Official Journal of the European Union and was implemented 18 months after the issuance of the Directive.
